Monoprints made with block printing ink

The term "Monoprint" is pretty loose, it basically refers to anything that you've sent through a printing press, but I'm boring and just used materials you'd be using in normal prinmaking anyways. I covered a zinc plate in printmaking ink, which is like a super-dense paint that you apply with a roller. Then I use a tiny bamboo pen to carve out a sketch of where I want things to be, and then I scrape away areas of ink with tiny rectangles of mat board. Lastly, I blot the entire thing with a rag to get a little bit of variation in the dark areas. Once I finished preparing the plate, I put a damp piece of paper on top and send the whole thing through the printing press.

You can do this with pretty much anything though. I've used plexiglass squares in classrooms where we didn't have fancy zinc plates (you just need to be careful when sending it through the press so the glass doesn't fracture), and you can start with a clean plate and essentially paint onto it instead of wiping ink away. You can put stencils on for texture, or straight-up glue something onto the paper and send it through. Like I said, it's a pretty general term, but I really like the system I've got down. Here's two more I made the same way.

I went to my parents place today and ended up helping my mom make some little houses for their annual craft fair. This is my tower made from a coffee can, pea gravel, day lilly stems, a pine cone, two acorns, a marble and a glue gun that burned me multiple loving times:

It's been a week since anyone took an art dump so I'm gonna CPR this thread with more printmaking

RazzleDazzleHour posted:

It depends! The one I just posted is an etching, which means I used acid to dissolve metal, so obviously that one is really hard to start practicing yourself at home. Honestly, if my university weren't cool and didn't let alumni come back and do work in the studios, I have no idea where I would even work on etchings. Every other kind of printmaking is really easy to try yourself though. The top image here is a wood block carving, and the bottom one is a linoleum block carving. You can buy a perfectly good linoleum carving multitool for like $8 and linoleum for printmaking is dirt cheap. For wood carving, two tools (a big one and a small one for fine details) are pretty much all I use, and you can carve into most kinds of plywood. The most expensive aspect of most paper-based arts is the paper itself, but you can get super good deals if you buy from school suppliers like Dick Blick instead of buying non-bulk you get from stores like Hobby Lobby.

Doing a sketch class with some kids and recently been working with them to draw from pictures which gives me the chance to sketch with them albeit i'm sketching upside down from the other side of the table so they can follow along.

Ends up being really fun because the drawings are quick and dirty and usually just in a number 2 pencil so it's kinda like back in school when i'd just draw in my notebooks during classes when the teacher wasn't looking except i'm doing it upside down and never quite sure how accurate it will look once i turn it right side up.

First two are from a bird magazine:

Not with that picture, which is why i felt safe posting it

Because kids aren't supposed to use iPads/Electronic devices before bed they wanted to scrap that idea, kinda crushed my motivation on that one.

I've been working on a comic idea, that's more a learning exercise than anything else. I've got about 6 pages written and I'm aiming for around 10 total, and starting to mess around with character concepts. I haven't really drawn in a long time, so I'm having to relearn a lot of stuff that used to be second nature.

This first guy is nobody, but I'm going to recycle parts of him into another character:


This fella is one of the main character's that I've been calling Slug the Strong and Many:
