My samples of Mono-Printing

Mono-Prints:

To create my mono-prints I used 3 different colours of ink; blue, yellow and purple. I used blue for the sample I did of other women from magazines faces. For the first practice sample I did, I chose this image as she has clear feature on her face. The outcome of this practice sample has not been the best as pressed my hands and the paper as I drew around her features so the ink has made blemishes were I didn’t wasn’t the ink to go. So on the second practice sample I tried my best to not press on with my hand but when I looked I had pressed on in small places. For this sample I chose another woman but his time I got the image from a newspaper not a magazine. This one had the features more clear but still with blotches in places. Now comes my samples of myself. These samples are better than my practice ones as they haven’t come out blotchy like the others. The cube faced mono-print has made first with yellow ink. The outcome is very similar to the second practice print I made. It has a few smudges on it around the edges. The features on my faces seem to be very sketchy and don’t have a lot of detail like the second print I made. Now, the last print I made was created using purple ink and I used the shuffle image of myself for this one. The outcome was very effective and by creating practice samples first I finally learnt not to place my hand on the paper at all whist making my features. As I have marked where the horizontal line are as well as my face, I think that this ad to the affect the final outcome gives to the audience. The only thing I would change if I was to re-do this printing technique would be to be more careful when coping my feature as I have rushed it a little and it has made me mark places which didn’t need marking.
