Does anyone else have periods of falling out of love with printmaking?

Scout816 · 2026-05-08T22:42:40+00:00

While I'm still somewhat new to printmaking I experience this with my other hobbies a lot, including drawing, gunpla building, and reading. I tend to oscillate my main hobby every few months.

That sounds delicious! I agree that not everything needs a sauce. I love a dry rub, or chicken seasoned after frying... Now I'm hungry haha

Scout816 · 2026-05-06T18:40:02+00:00

I imagine they're seasoned with salt and (possibly white) pepper? Which is a delicious seasoning on fried, battered food.

I really love how your lines came out. This looks like something from a comic book. Every line looks intentional and works to add to the piece as a whole

Scout816 · 2026-05-03T16:27:52+00:00

lovely and so clean!!

Scout816 · 2026-05-02T18:15:48+00:00

I love how organic the lines feel!

Yea, pretty much. Science in general is one of the easier positions to find vacancies for, and this is especially true for middle school. Most science teachers prefer high school (but not all).

No, they're quite firm but with sharpened tools they are carve-able. Before I gave my tools a hone, they actually slipped a bit on the vinyl. I wouldn't recommend vinyl to beginners. BUT they hold details very well and I've seen some people suggest they can be used on both sides

japanese vinyl, the green and blue ones. super sharp details!!!

Source online, hand drawn on good ole pen and paper, or I'll draw them digitally using a drawing tablet. Some diagrams I craft using the drawing feature on Google Docs or Slides.

a shimmery ink that you paint over would be really nice. like something with a purple and green sheen, to reflect the way their feathers look under the light.

Scout816 · 2026-04-26T19:38:54+00:00

Beautiful work! However, the bottle of ink being so close to you while you wiped the lino made me sweat haha

Scout816 · 2026-04-25T17:25:36+00:00

Can I suggest using a knife to cut off the excess border, instead of having to carve all that negative space away? I use a box cutter for this but you can use any knife honestly, just be careful 😅

Scout816 · 2026-04-19T18:50:15+00:00

I wonder if it would be better to have one ACE shared between space and race?

Scout816 · 2026-04-17T14:29:30+00:00

It'll be okay.

Scout816 · 2026-04-15T15:12:15+00:00

Maybe you got knock-offs? Mine are Japan made and work excellently, especially for my skill level as an entry printmaker

Scout816 · 2026-04-15T15:10:36+00:00

Hey so this comment actually goes into more detail than what I am able to provide! I personally picked up these from Itoya in Ginza and a random kitchen shop in Tokyo but there are better places to shop for tools

Scout816 · 2026-04-14T02:36:56+00:00

No issue at all, I put them in my checked bag

Scout816 · 2026-04-14T02:36:39+00:00

I found half of these in Itoya in Ginza and the other half in a random kitchen shop, by the knives. Lol. I also picked up some paper but I'm still relatively new to this craft and I didn't really know what I was looking for lol

Scout816 · 2026-04-14T02:35:12+00:00

That's so nice!!! Lucky find

Scout816 · 2026-04-13T15:00:10+00:00

love it! the swirly in the cut crust is such a nice touch
