MOKU HANGA
For our final we did a Moku Hanga, a Japanese styled woodcut. With these type of prints you carve on different blocks your layer of colors. after awhile of having a hard time picking what to do mine about, I settled on making a tarot care for the sun. Instead of drawing on a separate piece of paper and transferring onto the wood, I decided to draw directly onto the wood. At first the whole piece was gonna be just warm colors, but after looking at different color schemes in illustrations I liked I realized that in order for this piece to look visually pleasant so I added green. Her cape is meant to resemble a rooster so I studied roosters feathers. |
