Printing the image is a simple task in inking the face of the matrix, making a firm contrast with the paper.   1.) Prep your block, you can tone it using Indian wash or jet black film ink. 2.)

pop art project starting the project When I started this project I was very excited. I love looking because it is so unique and different than other pictures. I had ideas from other pictures I had seen in the past but I wanted to make it different. We had requirements for this project like using a variety of colors, adding a filter, using blending modes, and adding adjustment and layer masks.
