Penguin Linoleum Print

in art •  7 years ago 

A few months ago I made this Penguin print. I made various color combinations, but here's one of them.

Linoleum printing works like this:
You get a sheet of linoleum
You carve out what you want to be white
You roll ink onto the linoleum
Press paper on the linoleum
Press HARD
When you peel away you will get the final product
For example, I carved away everything surrounding the penguin, the penguins breast area, some of the beak, etc.
It's basically like a bigger fancier stamp!
