Block Prints

This print was inspired by my passion for music and playing guitar. Since music plays a special part in my life, I've decided to draw out a guitar and the word 'Music'. I first drew both the guitar and the word on a peice of paper and then on the back of the paper, i traced the whole thing so I could have the letters backwords. Then I shaded the first drawing and then retraced my backwords drawing onto the block. Then I took a blade and cut out the rest of the block. After, I did several colored prints by rolling the paint onto the block and putting it through the block printer. I liked this project because it was a free choice and you had enough time to complete it. I liked my design because the guitar came out really well. The thing I dont like about this peice, is that the letters are in bubble letters and I dont like it. I should've just wrote them in script. Overall this was a great project.
