more stencils using light table in order to add the skin color

final result :)

workspace and one unfinished mixed media and collage test

Drypoint: the image was incised into a plate with a hard-pointed needle and then printed on a wet paper.

drypoint final result

starting with drypoint again but adding more prints with the same plate, to give a blurry effect

adding the body color with monoprinting.

adding the outer effect with drypoint and a sharp metal brush

printing the color with the mask on a separate black paper as suggested by Sean

adding a light color on top of the contour to soften the contrast

final result :)
