Finally got around to scanning in a few things from print processes.
To refresh your memory, here is the drawing i did from out of my window...
...And here is the intaglio I printed from an etching into plastic. I much prefer this to the original drawing, it has a darker tone now due to the smudging and a little more depth. I'm glad i put some more dark by means of the sky, it feels a little more finished now.
Not so successful however was my lino. I had drawn the image with etching in mind, and knew that it would be hard to get the minute detail into a lino cut. I picked a small section and got to work, and did it in negative so i would have something different to the etching.
As you can see there is a lot less detail than in the cut, and a little too much ink got into the lines. next time I'll know to draw a simpler image...
Here is a very flattering image of my housemate Billie, which may or may not be changed into a two colour screen print. This is the second attempt as in the first the leather jacket was, frankly speaking, terrible. Most of her friends can tell instantly it's her, which may be a little concerning...
No one is spared though, not even myself. Below are some self portraits, which again may or may not become 2 colour screen prints. I got annoyed at not being able to draw realistically straight off the bat, i have to really get myself into the mindsight. So I drew myself grotesque and dripping with black ooze. I look a little like the Hulk...
More to come soon, will do more self portraits that will be better suited to dividing up between colours.
