Emulation

For my emulation I copied the technique and design previously created on my lino copy.

I decided to do a emulation of a canine / wolf design so that it would match the little red riding hood theme. This would help me determine if I would use the lino technique for my final piece, and if it would be easy enough to show fur on the wolf. I started to draw out in pencil on the piece of lino the wolf design I was going to try and cut out.

I spent about 8 hours cutting out the pieces and trying to make it look like the wolf possessed fur, this was harder than I originally though and took longer than I expected previously.

Once all the pieces were cut out I then rolled out the ink, covered my piece of lino in ink and then pressed it down onto a A4 sized piece of white paper. following the same steps I did in my copy I then rolled onto the piece of paper to transfer the ink onto the paper before pulling it off and setting it to dry.

Scanning in the dry pieces of paper after 24 hours, I put the photos into photoshop and changed they levels so that it would emphasise the black and white background and foreground. This was then changed to various different colours which I could overlay on top of each other.

This was my final design.
