my first attempt on linocut printing.
1. I started my first attempt my printing out a silhouette of my husband and me (with no fill, just the outline) that I had made on Adobe Illustrator. After that I trimmed the silhouette to the size of my lino block, size 5x7. I also used a Carbon sheet to transfer my design on the lino block, I also trimmed to sized the carbon sheet.
♥
I started filling the silhouette with a pencil.
♥
3. I removed the print out + the carbon sheet.
♥
4. Select what linocut carving tools I wanted to work with.
♥
5. Start carving the block
♥
6. Remove excess around my block
♥
7. Prepare ink area
♥
♥
9. Ink applied to my lino block.
♥
♥
♥
9. And voila!, this is my first print.
The only problem I had is that I am not using the correct ink
for this printing method and that is why the print came out smudgy.
Promise to post pictures of my other attempts :)
