Principles and Practice of Illustration. More Monoprinting workshops.

After researching Adam Higton I wanted to give monoprinting another go but this time I wanted to add more fine lines and more texture. The image above is of Wolfgang Flür who is one of the members of Kraftwerk, I have tried adding texture to his face with the monoprint technique. Lines and marks have been made with different tools such as pens, a roll of tape and a rubber.

More printing here, continuing with adding texture and lines.
Working closely with my Artist research (Adam Higtons) here I have added lots of fine lines to the whole image helping me experiment with different mark making. Something I really like about this piece apart from the strong connection to my research is that the combined white media with a stark black background you have got an instant contrast this helps create a more dynamic image.
This monoprint of Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür is the final piece that I worked into for a small task in the workshop. I have added blushing cheeks to tie it in with my research on an article from the magazine Jackie which was popular in the 1970s. I also added white acrylic paint to help separate Wolfgang from the background. This image was created to help connect my research and workshops.
