Self Portrait Linocut
What I created, was a self portrait stamp basically. I used a picture of myself and used a graphite pencil to print the picture onto a linoleum block. Then I used a linoleum cutter to carve out the white pieces. This was to make the important parts stand out. Finally I rolled ink onto the block with a brayer and printed the portrait onto the paper. My portrait picture was a chill. The main purpose was to test my creativity. My goal was to get the portrait to look as similar as I could to the picture. Overall I felt like I did pretty good. I feel like my nose and eyes could have been better but my hair was perfect. You could see the hair and how it goes into the bun. I really enjoyed this project.
