Printmaking Self Portrait
The process of printmaking.
Start outlining every detail with a Sharpie marker.
This will help make the drawing show up better for later when you start shading in certain areas.
Afterwards...
Start shading in some parts that you don't want to carve out.
The shaded areas are going to stand out on the print.
Carve out the nonshaded parts.
The non shaded areas are the parts you want to carve out that won't stand out on the print.
Fill the carved out linoleum with ink evenly.
Make sure that there aren't any parts left out and color every detail thoroughly with ink.
You can use as many types of paper as you want. Drop the sheet of paper on top of the print and use a baren to smooth out any wrinkles and evenly distribute the ink onto the sheet of paper.
After smoothing the paper out, gently peel off the piece of paper to see your print.
Each time after you peel off your paper, fill the linoleum with ink again so the print will turn out as dark after each time.
This is the result of your piece of paper.
Repeat these steps to the rest of the selected papers.
