LAUIL503 - Printed Pictures

More mono print testing..



I'm having problems scanning the mono prints which means the colours aren't coming through well.

Instead of a strong orange I'm getting a horrible yellow and the pink mono prints aren't coming through maybe because they're too luminous which is frustrating.

The group crit idea was to print on to the drawings so no need to scan in but I'll try some other colours as I want to be able to move things around compositionally in Photoshop.

I'm happy with the idea of combing abstract mono print shapes with the drawings and the concepts of desert hallucinations is working but they are too bare, floating in white space and need a solid base to make them stand out.

LAUIL503 - Printed Pictures - print tests

Print tests


The mono printing is the way to go - the simple shapes and speed of mono printing means I can get lots of printed texture and colour into the finals. 


I want to keep the drawings and abstract nature of the characters and desert landscapes to go with the hallucination theme. 

Combine the drawings with the coloured mono prints 
Use jarring colours to contrast with the drawings
Work out compositions for final ideas
How subtle will the prints be within the image?
