Linocut is a print making technique, usually by carving wood but this time I used rubber to carve out the pattern. I find this experience just like making stamp.

The challenge in this assignment is to draw the print on the rubber the opposite way you want them to be printed. So for example, if you want a tree to be printed on the right of the paper, you should draw the tree at the left of the rubber before carving it. Another thing about this print making is that if you accidentally carve a part that you did not mean to carve out, you cannot undo the process, so you have to be careful and patient.

The first print that I am making is the ship in the sea. I took this idea from Pinterest. I did not add much detail as I wanted to check and try out the printing first.

And then I carved more details such for the sky

I tried another print pattern with a design that I drew myself. This is about a guy who is lost and does not know what he is doing in life, what’s his goal and a little bit depressed.
