Out of all of my prints, I think my screenprint was the most successful. Overall, I think it had the least mistakes, except for the circle surrounding the lambda which was a big issue. Though I feel the colors mixed nicely, but in one area there is a bit too much red. As well as the design is from one of my favorite games of all time.
My print I would want to change most is my monoprint. First off, it's not even a landscape, just a stick figure with a "pumpkin head". Regarding that, I would also try to make it look nicer by not doing something so basic. When I was making it, I wanted to make just a pumpkin since i was trying to orange and blue but they accidentally mixed. As well as, it would never take up a good amount of space, so I said screw it and just made a stick figure pumpkin head man, putting in little effort, which I wish I put more in. I enjoyed working with soft kut the most. It was easy to transfer a design since all you had to do was trace the design, which was easy in of itself. I also just liked how smooth the cutting was and how the gouge just glides so smoothly across it. Though sometimes if was hard to get enough paint on and then I would end up putting on too much paint. Cleanup was especially easy as well, all you had to do is wash it under the sink. |
