Steps of Printing Making
1. Take your own photo and print in A4 size.
2. Put a carbon paper and an A4 paper underneath your printed photo.
3. Trace it, but remember to keep it simple, so you can carve it easier.
4. Outline it using a Sharpie marker.
5. Divide it into two parts one that you want to carve and one not.
6. Shade parts you won’t carve.
7. On your outlined paper, trace it again on tracing paper.
8. Trace it on a carving mat.
9. Outline on the carving mat, slowly not to spread ink too much
10. Start carving
*For SAFETY*The knife always has to face forward, opposite to yourself.
11. Then carve your background.
12. Lastly, paint your ink, place the magazine paper and rub lightly.
SNAP !
First, choose your "Best Looking Photo" and print it in A4 size.
DRAW !
Then, trace it onto another white sheet of paper and outline it using a marker. Remember to only shade the parts that you are going to keep, not for carving!
CARVE !
Lastly, you are now finished with carving. Then you'll now enter the printing process. Paint the mat with a roller and place a clean paper, then you rub it lightly.
