I've been looking at the effect of the cutout filter to give an idea of how this could look as a lino print. Katherine Tyrell (makingamark.blogspot.co.uk) talked about this on her excellent blog some time ago. It helps get you into the way of thinking when creating images suitable for lino prints. A' scribbly' free style of drawing is difficult to translate into the areas of tone and, although this isn't now ready to be transferred to lino it does kick start the thinking process. I'll be re-drawing it and making decisions as I do so.
Do I want this amount of shadow on the faces? Should I work with just 2 tones or increase this? If so, shall I do a reduction print or a multi-block print? Is the pose too static? Do I want these figures superimposed/layered over other figures, using transparent medium mixed into the relief ink so that both layers are visible?
