the sketch on paper !!
Embedded Files
done w the outline 😋 - not directly on the line as its my first time to try but i get better after more practice
finally done 🙈 - it was kinda hard to cut the smaller parts at first and i might have ruined the leaf by adding elements but its worth the shot
my print :0 - i didnt really cut well on one side of the leaf as reflected in my work
original photo
took at home and edited to 50% transparency, print out black and white
halfway done with my sketch - to outline the main face and elements eg eyes. mark out the shadows seen on the picture
reverse side shading - using the light to trace over the opposite of my face and shading the black parts like my hair and shadows in
coloring the reverse self portrait in colors that I wish to add in to my print afterwards, state it at the bottom/top of the color scheme
transfering it over to the linocut - using carbon paper and a ballpoint pen, we can trace the previous colored self portrait on the linocut, look how good it turned out!
i didnt take a picture of my first cut on lino - cut eyes, lips shirt and the reflection on my hair
