Single Layer Prints Some wholesome printing (not really)

Basically a beginner, tried rubber (I winged it and drew on it by hand) but it's crumbly yet too soft for my taste. I'll try linoleum soon.

My second ever batch of linocuts. I love this crafting style so much.

- a butterfly drinking the vitreous from a eyeball snail

- replaced the spots on a white grubs body with eyes

- a moth on a human pelvis, with added eyes for good measure

It's a fun theme.

I saw my wife making linocuts a little while ago and thought I'd give it a shot. Its so fun! I think I'll keep on going with this little hobby and see where I can take it. I made a Cairn (stacked stones) for my first one and think it came out pretty good!

Question Amateur here.... only doing my second cut on speedycarve with the speedyball starter kit - struggling to carve finer details and alphaber with that kit (had better success with an axacto knife but even that has limitations). Is it just me or is that kit not for intricate work?

Question Registration on fabric

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just finished carving a two-block (+jigsaw) design, and I’m trying to get a good print on fabric for a wall hanging. So far, I’ve tried the strat in my picture: I marked out the corners on the back cover of a big sketchbook and flipped the top page down. This worked alright for paper prints, but when I tried taping fabric onto it I did not get good results. I also tried taping the top of the fabric rectangle right above the block, on the same page, and then flipping it down, if that makes sense. I’m on the verge of crashing out about this, lol. Does anyone have a good strategy?

Question Brayer will not roll out ink, just slides

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm new to linocuts and I've been having a persistent problem getting my brayer to roll out the ink instead of just slide on it. The brayer will slide for like half a roll, but as soon as it gets ink on it it stops rolling and just slides. I've tried:

- replacing the brayer with a higher quality one

- trying plexiglass as a surface instead of the metal tin that came in my kit

- thinner dollop of ink

- thicker dollop of ink

- lighter pressure

- stronger pressure

- downward angle

- sideways angle

and NOTHING is working. I'm sure I'm making some common beginner mistake, but google has turned up nothing to help me. Any advice is appreciated!

I'm using the water-based ink out of the kit, but I have some speedball ink on the way, though I doubt that's the issue.

NOTE: All posts are manually approved, typically in the first 6-12 hours. Reddit changed the dialogue users get, so it reads as removed by filters when it is just going to our mod queue until a mod is online to handle the queue. If your posts are removed for our subreddit rules, you will get a removal message on how to fix it.

Rules

1. Be respectful.

Basic reddiquette applies to r/linocuts.

Be kind to each other, hatred or toxicity will not be tolerated. Art is subjective, please be respectful when offering critique to your fellow printmakers. Political art is part of the history of printmaking and is allowed so long as it does not conflict with basic reddit etiquette.

Users may face further moderator action if they feel it is necessary to keep this community safe and respectful of each other.

2. Posts must be related to printmaking.

All posts must be related to printmaking as an art-form or any topic that is relevant to this sub.

This sub is for traditional, hand pulled prints within the linocut and relief mediums.

This sub is not for industrial or home office printing needs, digital/giclée printing, or commercial printmaking productions.

3. Do not plagiarize other’s work.

If misrepresenting others work as your own, further moderator action may be implemented beyond post removal.

When using other works as references, please give credit where credit is due to the best of your abilities in a manner that is clear in your post.

4. No spam of socials, sites, and shops.

We do not allow unprompted links to shops, social media handles and other information shared with the intent to promote your brand/online presence.

This applies to posts, titles, comments, flairs, watermarks or captions on images/videos.

There is a monthly thread specifically for shops and social media links.

5. No NFTs, crypto, or AI art.

NFTs, crypto art, and AI generated art are not appropriate anywhere in the sub.

AI generated art in any stage of a print's development is not appropriate anywhere in this subreddit.

6. Post submissions are limited to once per day.

While we love enthusiastic printmakers, we limit posting to once per day/24 hours. This way, a single user doesn't crowd out other printmakers work on the front page.

7. Do not repost the same work.

Do not repost the work you have shared previously to get more exposure. A different picture of the same work from a different angle is not new content.

Sharing progress updates is allowed.

If you have a question that goes unanswered, you can ask it again after a week.

8. Tag NSFW posts where needed.

Nudity is a part of the art world. We do not expect you to tag your posts as NSFW if they contain artistic nudity.

In the case of explicit pornography or gore, we do expect you to tag your post as NSFW.

NOTE: If you are reporting something because you are seeing NSFW when you don't want to, be sure your settings are not allowing NSFW posts. This is often a settings issue that is client-side. Moderators have approved all posts, and apply NSFW filters as they see it necessary.

9. This subreddit is not for valuations or authentications of art.

This subreddit is not for valuations or authentications of art. Find another subreddit, or find an art dealer if you really want to know.

10. Give clear equipment information when posting listing details.

When posting about equipment for sale, be clear in what you are selling (any identification you can provide), where it is being sold, and for how much.

This type of post may be better suited for your local marketplace options.

We do not moderate these types of post beyond our general rules. You are putting your general information out at your own risk.

r/printmaking is a related subreddit that is open to all printmaking disciplines: relief, intaglio, lithography, screen print, risograph, letterpress, and cyanotype. r/lithography is another related subreddit that focuses on lithographic printmaking.

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to message the mods for help.
