#6 Drypoint-Line

Drypoint prints by Christopher Skinner

This prints were done as an example for the artist's website showing how drypoint printmaking is done.

Out of all the drypoint prints that I saw when I googled it, I liked this one the best. Even though I could not find much on the actually prints, I still thought it was a good example of what drypoint is capable of. Since I was still kind of hazy on how detailed this technique could be. The blog post done by the artist on this was also very helpful to me, and that is my reasoning for picking these prints and this artist.
When looking closer at each print, especially the eye, you can see that the pictures are made up of a bunch of lines.Very sketchy, short looking lines which added to my "gee wiz such detail" reaction. These prints have given me some inspiration for my own drypoint project.
