Post-Initial print development

After creating my first outcome, I was quite unhappy with it. However, i did not want to just go ahead just cutting since lino cutting cannot be undone. Because of this, i spent a while trying different ways to make it better.

CUT OUT SKY Experiment

This print has the "sky" cut out. I quite like the way it looks without the sky.

DIFFERENT SKY Experiment

This print has a blue "sky" stuck in. I quite liked the way it looked.

RIGHT WINDOW MONOPRINT Experiment

This experiment was where i made the right window a monoprint. I wanted to see how it would lookin a different color (windows).

However, looking back, a lino print with a mask would have hade the same if not a superior effect

BACKGROUND EXPERIMENT

This is where i tried printing red lino on a blue background. However, since the ink was still wet (i think) it failed, and the colors mixed.

LINO PRINT X2

This experiment was where i printed once in red, and then used a paint brush to add ink onto the lino for the second print. I only added ink onto two areas, and i think it worked kinda okay for a first attempt. However, not good enough for an outcome

MONOPRINT DRAGON Experiment

This experiment was to see if i could really make the dragon from my initial design.

After doing this, i concluded i do not have the skill to do it properly (only doing the outline was hard enough, but the scales and stuff would have made things much harder)

That being said, if i were to impliment this design, i would not do the outline and only cut out scale outlines. This would give it texture and the look of a dragon without the need of good cutting skills.

The head however i would not be able to make unless i have more pracrice monoprinting and making stencils.
