FINAL SCREENPRINTS
- here's my final three colour screen prints ! i'm pretty chuffed. the whole process went much smoother than expected, and that I remembered.
- the process itself was a bit stressful at first while I was getting into it, but I made sure to keep telling myself it was ok if something went wrong which helped
- I also made sure not to rush it and took my time with things like mixing my inks and lining up each colour so they fit together perfectly; this did take a little longer but it was definitely worth it
- I printed on two different colour stocks to mix it up a bit
WHAT I LIKE:
- I really like the colours I went for. they are bright and compliment each other nicely
- I have really enjoyed seeing my illustration being translated into a screen print and actually liking it! it has made me feel a lot better and so much more confident about the whole process and excited about what I could do next
- I like the illustration itself, it's quite charming and works well as a print. I'm looking forward to giving a couple out to my family and friends as gifts. it will also be good to potentially sell at any future print fairs
FAILURES?
- something you can't really tell from the scans is that the edges of the people are very slightly pixellated. I think this is due to making my positives in Photoshop instead of illustrator, which meant that when I changed them to black the lines weren't clean. i need to get into using illustrator especially for things like this! i'm just so comfortable using Photoshop it's hard to make the switch
- I should have thought about blowing it up a bit. I think it would work well as a large print! but I guess I needed to start off small while I'm getting used to printing
