My sketch for my lino cut assignment....i really am enjoying my printmaking class this semester, and this is probably my favorite design from this semester. Printmaking is definitely something i will keep doing while i take next semester off from school. I like hand coloring them, like the Crawdaddy Simone prints, so I plan to do that again for some of these prints. I bought some more lino plates to carve as soon as the semester is over. I'd like to print some stuff for friends and family for Christmas. Eventually I'd like to start an Etsy shop.

Crawdaddy Simone- Step 1

For my latest printmaking assignment, I had to illustrate a song for a line etch/aquatint process. After struggling with which song to pick, I finally settled on Crawdaddy Simone by The Horrors. The design was also inspired from a previous journal page. This line etch is the 1st step...next I have to decide where to put the values, and do the aquatint process.

So stay tuned for the finished product!

Collograph

My 1st printmaking assignment was to do a collograph with 3 different print plates and using 3 different colors. I loved this assignment! I learned a ton, and can't wait to do another set!!! i definitely need to pick colors with more contrast next time, and learn to make enough for the whole project! I used black, and made an purple and a dark crimson, but they were too close together in value, so I didn't get the pop I wanted. Also, I ran out of the purple and the crimson, so I have a couple different versions of each of those....oh, well...lesson learned. I also would like to experiment more with composition and design, but overall, I'm very happy with my 1s attempt into printmaking!
