Some people have been asking me about this stuff so I decided to gather all information in one single article on how to make your own portfolio, in a profesional and clean looking way. I hope it's useful, because these steps I myself take.

This is the actual drypoint plate for my first print in my printmaking class. It's made of copper and is 6 x 8.
I hand carved in all those shiny lines you see with one of these

It's called a scribe. It's a sharp metal stick, basically! They are DAMN expensive, so unless you mean SERIOUS business, don't get one.
"Erasing" is done by rolling over the lines with a burnisher. Mine looks like this because it was pretty much the only one in all of Vancouver.

This plate took a VERY long time and she requires re-etching already *sigh*
She will eventually be chromed so it lasts forever!
Drypoint is an intaglio process, meaning the carved out lines are what actually prints. The pressure of the press pulls the ink out of the lines. Pretty great!

Community News74 Stage a Male - Photography Contest^Staged
 reports, 1d 5h agoDeviantArt is full of extremely well produced artistic fashion and fine art photographs. Make up. Styling. Creation of scenery. Story. Light. Glamour. A combination of these expressions sometimes make up a great photograph. But the protagonists of these pictures are usually female. So... now it's the time for male models to come into focus. 60 The LOL Corner [#26]$Tachy-on

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |
