My block print critique is officially over. Needless to say, I am tired of printing and reprinting silhouettes of floating men. At one point, I became so discouraged that I began to create a large-scale drawing of lines. I am learning that I should actually use the things I enjoy to draw in my prints.
(These are in reverse order, but you get the point)









We are continuing to use our blocks to create prints on fabric using bleach and inks, but I am most likely going to begin carving another block so that I have more interest in creating something that I could possibly use. I have had this incredible urge to draw lately and I want to incorporate that into my prints as much as possible. Hopefully I will be able to report back with some more interesting prints that I am willing to show. I did end up putting a white block print over the finished version of this drawing, however it is not something that I am proud of to show yet. It needs much more nurturing to become finished.
