Upcoming Cotton Museum Etching..

I'm in the process of doing an etching on a 1 sided COTTON MUSEUM 12" LP. This is the first time i've worked on an etching for an LP and it's actually kind of stressful. You just get one chance to do it, so you have to make sure you have a steady hand...its totally different working on this compared to drawing on paper. When working on paper I usually figure out the composition in pencil before inking a drawing, but with this etching on a lacquer there isn't a way to do this. I ended up doing a lot of pencil sketches on paper before using the metal tools to etch on the lacquer. Check the drawing below to see a sketch that i used to prepare for the etching...
