intaglio prints i did of my oc Dave for a class assignment like a year ago! a bit about Dave's feelings being a friendly but eternal, undying, and interdimensional sort of guy. being a little outside of the rest of the world's phase of reality, wanting to connect but knowing it can never last etc etc. was very fun!

#art #traditional art #printmaking #intaglio #done with like a vaguely photogravue-esque method: putting transparent film with drawings on a plate that has a photosensitive film over to #transferring the image via a uv light partial cure - removing the less cured parts (where the drawings lines were)#and then fully curing the film so its hard and can be used as a very low profile intaglio!#its very fun and fast - and thats why the drawings look so drawing-ly LOL they were pen drawings photocopied onto transparent paper #these were supposed to be like a sequential storytelling thing for the assignment where each plate was supposed to stand alone well #but i lost the plot half way through and made mine too intended to be layered so i understandably got docked a few marks for that LOL #BUT thats okay i learned a lot (1. remember the assignment instructions) and i still like these!#i should do more intaglio. i thought i hated it but then i realized the method for inking i was taught first was overkill #(i was taught to put way more ink than is needed and it took FOREVER to polish) but now that ive figured out easier methods #its really fun! and works well for someone like me who loves their sketchy lines
