What is you mean?

>>3271963
¿Qué?

I wish I could get into printmaking. It looks cool as fuck.

>>3271963
you are doing litho and all you can think of is doing floral designs? :[

>>3271977
You realize you can continue etching into a stone after printing it right? That is how you build layers with a single stone. This is just the first layer lol

>>3271963
Everything's allowed but 70%+ of the board is tunnel vision concept art wannabes

>>3271983
yes i do know about litho techiques, ms. smartass. this is OC by me >>3271977

>>3271977
why do you have to be so petty anon

>>3272005
because it's a badass printing technique and it's a waste to use it for some decoration christmas card type of project.

>>3271977
you know printmaking is normally for making multiples right? so you should make something worth printing more than once lol

>>3271963
is this actually your work? it reminds me of a very well known printmaker who normally does intaglio...

>>3271963
>so you should make something worth printing more than once lol
exactly what OP didn't consider. instead just doodling away at vaginal / floral decoration.

>>3271963
Beautiful piece. I did a lot of serigraphy while in school but haven't done it since then. Not having a giant studio with everything i need makes it hard. I have a small screen and could do it at home, but it would take so much to prep my apartment and clean up after each session. I really do miss it tho.

>>3271963
>Includes tools in photo of drawings of generic flowers
Know how I know this artist is a woman?
Including your "pretty" or "nicely patina'd" tools in your art photos is like using makeup to improve your looks. The quality of the drawing can't stand on its own so you need to accessorise it and use camera tricks to make it appealing
9/10 times it will be a girl who includes their pens and pencils or a cup of coffee or some leafs and flowers and toys in the photo alongside or on top of their art. The other 1/10 times will be an insincere or hipster guy aping this, thinking it will trick people or get him pussy
Gay

>>3271977
I would say this is bad and you should feel bad but if it’s a self portrait then it looks like you already do jajaja

>>3272014
why you so triggered anon

>>3272087
by your anime standards, i suppose? gilipollas

>>3272067
yup, is also my sentiment: >>3268274

>>3272067
yup, is also my sentiment: >>>3268274

Didn't do litho but always loved the prints i saw my classmates producing over there.

>>3272216
that's a cool motif. the only thing i don't like about it is the obvious hipster clothing, ugh.

>>3272172
I replied in the thread

I did a tote bag a while back.

>>3272227
>t shirt and jeans
>"obvious hipster clothing, ugh."

You need to get out more.

>>3271977
desu, that generic floral design is far better than the garbage you just posted.

>>3272301
and what kind of art do you usually prefer, if i may ask?

that flower crap OP posted is nothing better than anything in here
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=flower+decoration+patter&bext=msl&atb=v94-3&iax=images&ia=images
but I understand why you are all butthurt and shit on something that is different.

>>3272328
Do you honestly think a portrait of an angsty white boi is "something different"?

>>3272458
are you butthurt OP or why don't you tell me what art you usually are interested in?

>>3272172
>>3272280

that sorry bitch deleted the entire thread after i went on to discuss symbolism in fashion ….. how fucking lame is that.

>>3272458
>white boi
found the SJW !

>>3272504
>>3272504
"Haha, chased away another SJW! Right, guys?"

>>3271977
I actually love the expression here, it's kinda eerie but coy and playful at the same time! And the mark making is fantastic!

>>3271963
>>3272516

omg i love your flower lithograph! if i had any talent, i would draw something like that! my grandma would LOVE to get an envelope with cute lithograph print and she would sooo appreciate that it is a unique print! "ohmygod, mom look what i've printed in class today! i mean, the teacher did all the printing obviously as i'm a stupid cunt and know nothing about chemicals and colors, but look what i did!" - "oh my god sweety that is the BEST DRAWING EVERRR! nobody has ever drawn cartoon flowers the way you did, it is so significant!"

thread was deleted:

"it's typically a female thing to be into flowers a lot. may that be as a gift, as decoration on cloths, furniture, books or as ornament in illustration. are you trying to deny the fact that women have always enjoyed this?

it's the main principle that when people like to dress with an erotic touch, they will include a sexual notion in one way or another. it's not you who's been smart about this, fashion designers throughout the centuries have found a lot of ways to do that. for men, there are cloths that emphasize the muscles, decorated seams which run along a contour, ways to accentuate the crotch area and so on.

the erotic and lure in female cloths is employed in an elegant way, but it has a long tradition of experimenting and finding different things that symbolize sexual anatomy. as I've said, it's present in frills of a skirt, in an oversized sweater that ends exactly on the crotch line along with leggins that accentuate not only the legs OP pic, floral designs on the cloths (the flower as the symbol of blossom, innocence, "to deflower"), showing hints of skin (trendy atm: shoulders, sideboobs, knees and legs in ripped jeans; traditionally: neck, cleavage, back, legs, tummy), the ripped jeans being another good example of unclear origin: did someone "rip them apart", violent force from outside? do you want someone to get "under your skin"? do you want to hint at what's underneath? underage girls are wearing ripped jeans these days, which is in a way problematic, as this is another strong sexualization.
the subc. connection of the flowers as a sexual symbol is so widespread, it is found in classic literature and in fashion in hundreds of examples. are you trying to deny that? the pleasent smell of the flower alongside the experience that most women will have at one point - unpleasent body odor in the genital area - is another aspect in this whole story. flowers are even used in tampon ads! it all has a history and clear connections."

OP here, looks like a shitstorm has been taking place since this morning wow lol

>>3272013
Yes, this is my work and while I wouldn't consider myself "well-known," I am pretty skilled after attending Tamarind Institute and Highpoint Center for Printmaking. And yes I normally work in intaglio!

>>3272067
It's a process shot I took for my Instagram/Facebook, people like seeing WIPs especially with the materials used. None of the works in my portfolio/website have tools in the images. Can't make everyone happy though I guess lol

>>3272216
I'm actually familiar with his work, he went to Tamarind too! Fantastic printmaker, really sweet guy too from what I've heard

>>3272467
Not op. Is your head so far up your own ass that you can't believe there's more than one person that wouldn't fawn over your work? You're not a bad artist but you seem like an insufferable human being.

>>3272525
not gonna lie, if the colors of the flowers were similar to the unicorn i would legit buy a print of that, if only for the irony.

the eminem teenage angst is still a bigger pile of dog shit though desu

>>3272550
What a coincidence! I went to undergrad with him. I was a year younger than him and since i mostly did serigraphy we didn't mingle much. Always admired his work tho.

>>3272556
and you seem like a shallow little teenage mind type of girl who won't ever grow up and ends up dependent on a man.

>my flower desings!
>my sweet unicorn fantasyland!
>bad white bois, so evil!

LOL I had to save that image, I'm going to post it to my facebook as a mock-up for the next layer, my friends are going to be like "WTF"!

Seriously though, why the animosity towards me?

>>3272570
you're that much of a joke and get that excited over a mock image that you post it on your shitty facebook. wow. just wow.

not you in particular, although i fucking hate flower design shit, but this femanon cunt >>3272087

Do you think anyone is remembered for their average tools and materials? Or do you think they're remembered for their vision, imagination, hard work, sacrifice, obsession, success, personality?

this is literally same generic shit as OP pic

Why is that drawing of eminem so scratchy and blotchy? Is that what litho is supposed to look like?

Also that guy must be new to /ic/ haha

>>3271977
lol thank Christ you're not a tattoo artist, you can't lay black down for shit

>>3272637
Hey if printmaking isn't your thing then that's fine, but you really shouldn't judge it until you've tried it.

>>3272540
Love this, it's way more interesting than the flowers. I never tried multi plate intaglio because registration was always a weak spot of mine.

That other anon repeatedly shitposting is pretty jealous of you, if that was his self-portrait then he nailed the whiny little bitch look haha.

>>3272647
>pretty jealous
jealous of teenage diary type flowers. sure, my child.

Dude you are just feeding the trolls lol.

i will try to re-rail this thread, as i like making prints in my spare time.

>>3272676

>>3272676
Do you make your art at home or do you have access to a studio?

#3272677
wow, normally i have to work for my (you)s

>>3272682
thats a monotype, you just need a plane of glass or acrylic, i do use a public studio to roll out my etchings though, i dont have a press roller.

>>3272690

>>3272690
How quickly do you have to work while monotyping this way? I experimented a lot with monoprinting and monotyping with my screen but was never very good

>>3272700

>>3272676
>>3272678
>>3272685
>>3272690
>>3272700

Thanks for rerailing my thread, I had abandoned it because of the trolls! I really enjoy your etchings! Never been a fan of monotypes but then again I never got the hang of them so that's on me.

Here's another intaglio print of mine since people seem to really hate my litho flowers lol.

>>3272705
Forgot the image lol

>>3272702
i mix my ink with acrylic, so i would put almost 60% black ink and 40% black acrylic.
that keeps is loose whilst still being malleable.

also, just in case, >>3272690 is a lino cut not a monotype.

>>3272707
>that much cutting
oh my lord, hows your hand?
>>3272705
np.
try mono-type, its dead cheap and you can do it anywhere.

>>3272707
Is there a reason the plate can't be masked off instead of cut? Just curious

>>3272710
is monotype really worth the effort? if you can only do one print, why not work directly on paper?

>>3272710
Jewelry saw and flex-shaft dremel actually makes it's (relatively) easy. Though a friend of mine uses a CNC machine for his plates and makes me seriously jelly.

Here's another litho WITH materials because I can lol

>>3272718
My phone is buggin out sorry

>>3272712
I mainly did it for the deboss (emboss?) effect

>>3272723

>>3272723
wow i love how this is so raw, the stone and all. but you make such delecate drawings, with the cute little bees and the flowers and all. and then you put a cute owl on top and the owl has crowns and teeth floating over it's head, because it's tooth fairy owl and there's cute sneks in the picture ….. this is so cool! such a dirty, rough work environment and such heavy stones and the tools and the dirt around, so cool! what kind of instagram filter do you usually choose? the blueish-yellowy one or the polaroid retro-style?

>>3272730
>attacks artist posting litho and intaglio prints
>doesn't post own work
never change /ic/, never change

>>3272713
>>3272713
get this effect going directly on paper.

>>3272730
Holy shit I actually agreed with you and preferred your portrait over the stupid flowers but you really are a petty little anon.

>>3272718
I've never seen intaglio plates with that much cutting, doesn't the paper catch the inner edges?

>>3272730
post your work my dude.

>>3272740
>doesn't the paper catch the inner edges
i back this, close ups of the burr requested.>>3272707

going to make this a woodblock soon, got some nioce cherry coming my way soon.

>>3272740
>inner edges
usually, you are always advised to take the edge off the plate, no matter which shape. otherwise it is liable to cut the paper and you may also want to avoid getting that fat ink outline that collects on the rim, but not everyone works clean.

>>3272739
huh. might be a nice effect, if you know how to use it.

>>3272743
i did, but alas, it is "eminem" white boi and far less interesting than flowers from a tattoo artist

>>3272740
>>3272745
I just make extra sure edges are completely beveled and it's usually fine!

>>3272749
when pulling your print from a monotype glass, you get a transparency you cant really get from direct application to paper, some drawers put down their solid shapes first via monotype and then go into detailing with direct drawing with ink.

>>3272749
lol, typical /ic/ artist

>>3272749
like, post more work my bro, thats the point of the thread, if you want to argue about shit got to reddit, you will get up boats that way at the very least.

>>3272768
That guy just cannot stop harping about my litho prints. Intaglio is my main medium and I make a living off that and teaching printmaking (all forms) part-time at the private art college near me. The litho prints are just fun projects I do with the class.

Here's another etching which I sell through a gallery that represents me.

>>3272768
don't get him to post more, for fucks sake this isn't deviantart, he can take that shit there

>>3272768
>>3272761
i've been experimenting with acetone transfer prints. this is a crab i've been working on.

>>3272781
post your work, flowergirl

>>3272781
Lol even DA wouldn’t put up with angsty white boy drama, those SJWs would shit all over his portrait. Which would be improvement desu

>>3272782
bro, why are you still here?

>>3272786
and what does flower-deco-lover have to offer? some of that good fantasyland escapism shit? same mushroom and animal romanticism?

>>3272789

>>3272806
not the gif i thought i posted, but im ok with this.

>>3272777
insta?

>TFW you attack an artist only to find they’re far more talented then you’ll ever be

Don’t let this thread die, it’s hilarious how triggered that anon got lol

Not as good as the other prints in this thread but here is a series of screen prints i did. Can upload individuals when i get homeif anyone is interested.

>>3273591
This is from a set of monotypes.

>>3273593
>monotypes
How? Could you explain your process?

>>3273596
Burned 2 screens, one for the figure and one for the moths. Printed the figure regularly, but for the moths i had several cups of ink and kind of drizzled the different inks onto the screen. When you pull the squeegee, it prints the colors almost exactly how you drizzled them or brushed them on. But all the colors get very mixed and muddy so you have to redo the process for each print so they all come out differently.

>>3272723
Your work reminds me of Irina Vinnik. Shit is tight senpai.
>pic related

>>3272540
oh wait wow, im >>3272748

>>3272743
this dude, diddnt realize it was you, i have been following you on insta for a while now.
love your stuff.

>>3272564
not the guy you're replying to but this is the second thread in which I see your smug ass bitching about other peoples work while your stuff looks boring and unoriginal m8. You sound like a cunt

>>3272564
holy shit you are so obviously butt blasted, just quit

>>3272723
wow

>>3272713
you can pull it about 3 times, but yea, its mostly for the love of the printing process and effect it makes, not the amount of prints you can produce.
if making money from ones prints is the goal, naked monotypes is difficult.

>>3272707
>>3272756
Holy shit, this looks amazing. Probably the best (not most technically skilled) art I've seen on /ic/
I will find a way to steal your approach for myself.

Thank you!

litho and intaglio is great! just started graining a stone and it feels so good

i honestly can't think of anything more boring than naive flower drawings this is so painfully girly and to think that that person is an art instructor and runs a workshop jeez id be better off burning my money with cigars than pay that tuition

Just give up

>>3273547
yup, i've always wished i could draw girly pocket calender flowers, animals and mushrooms. i understand it takes years of practice and the most imaginative mind to come up with that.

being this butthurt and obsessed to create a thread like every other hour now.
have a tea and relax, tattoo-femanon. get your shit together, stop being a sore cunt. or are you recruiting your students to shitpost now?

Why must we hurt one another like this

some artists are sensitive type

I don't get it. If the art is done well, looks okay, who cares if the subject matter's generic?

You know I'm not the only one who thinks OP does some rancid girly flower shit, right? --> >>3272067

>>3278429
There is literally nothing wrong with flowers/florals. There is nothing wrong with beautiful women, or mythical creatures, or brooding men, or landscapes with mountains in them. These things are all overdone, and they're all still nice to look at now and then.

>>3277743
/ic/ cares apparently
Or just that one embarrassing anon that cares way too much

>>3278444
trips of truth.

Has anyone done any installational work using printmaking?
I only know of a few artist that do it and it tends to just be screen printing. Installations seem like they’d be a pretty creative and challenging leap from typical printmaking.

what is going on here lol
so flower girl posted more of her work
did the eminem fan art guy ever post more or did he just bitch and moan

I would like to mess with monotyping but I have MINIMAL supplies: some glass, tempera, brushes, and that's about it.
I want some abstract piece with different textures to use as the background for an illustration, something like pic related
How do I go about it?

>>3279150
fucking hell

>>3279151
I'm not all too experienced with printing, but I imagine that if your paint is opaque enough, you could just wash/paint your textured background as needed, and then print over it, could you not?

>>3279120
has not posted another work, on any thread.

>>3279090
It was very very popular at my university. We had one professor that really encourage it. Mostly done with screen prints or risos.

>>3279090
>>3279307
If you are interested in this the professor's name was Jason Urban. Looked at his website and he has examples. This one's relief prints.

>>3279335

Really cool stuff thank you! I'm taking a printmaking class this semester and trying to gather inspiration!

>>3272703
my fav from this thread, neat

>>3279252
You can do that if the ink if thick enough, but i don't think that's something you can do with the supplies you have on hand.

>>3271963
hi printmaking OP
your hated angsty white boi here. your stuff is still not my thing, thematically or stylistically. anyway, i've seen your insta account in that other thread. it shows that you're really into printmaking, you love doing it and you do it a lot. it was unfair of me to shit on your work for whatever reason, as it is unfair in principle to shit on something that someone is passionate about. i hope you accept my apology and we can settle this flamewar now. i'm an asshole, but i'm not a complete asshole and i'm able to feel remorse.
