Lo-Fi Printmaking: Monoprints

Below, in no particular order, are the drawing exercises we completed (blind drawing and partial peek drawing) and the monoprints that were inspired by the lines and shapes within them.

Done with pencil. I love the way the diagonal lines sing together. This one has a lot of vivacity to me.

I really enjoy the playfulness that comes out of writing back-to-front.

This one was really successful. Good clean blocks of space based on the neotan (?) single-tone charcoal exercise.

I isolated selections of lines that I thought were particularly lively, and blew them up for the monoprints. This one really reminds me of a cat playing.

This one’s terribly dramatic. I really like the noise and pressur ethat’s apparent that gives the face interesting tone.

I remember being quite annoyed with how heavily this one came out, but looking back at it, I love its atmosphere. It feels like big billowing stormclouds.
