Lithography - Tumblr Posts

Been trying to teach myself how to do lithography using polyester plates. It’s been an adventure because my only experience with other kinds of lithography has been from watching other people do it. I went so far as to get an old laser printer for making plates. However, I finally printed what I would consider to be a successful print, so I’m pretty chuffed. That is, until I realized that I had made the plate the wrong way around. Oh well. It’s all an education.
Past Projects
Hello! I just wanted to share some past projects I did in school that I never got around to posting! I will also show the original sketches if I still have them!
Project 1: Miles
Class: Plate Lithography
For the first project I drew my OC Miles! She is actually a pretty old OC that I had for a long time. In this project, I redesigned her to what she looks like today! I remember being so satisfied with her redesign because I put a lot of thought into it. I didn’t like her previous design because it was very bland and generic. Unfortunately, I don’t have any images of her original design because I only drew her once on a flipnote on my brother’s DSi and the file became corrupted and deleted itself (along with all the other flipnotes I made on it).
Overall, I’m still really happy with how this project turned out! 🥰
