So here's the Aquatinted version of the Intaglio print I put up before. Sorry for the nasty shadow in the corner of the image, I didn't see it until it was too late.
Here's the whole edition: [link] And here's the next print I'm working on: [link]
[EDIT]: Wow... Thank you SO MUCH for the DD! I can't believe it! I saw it just after waking up, shot out of bad and ran to my room mates screaming, I was so excited! Like, you guys have no idea! All the other work that got DD's was so much better than this piece... though a lot of it it digital work, and this is an Intaglio Print, which, for any of you that know printmaking, that is a very different story. ^ ^ But still, I'm very happy. You have no idea how thrilled I am. ...And this isn't even a good photo! There's a nasty shadow on the side. I'm really tempted to replace it with a better one but I'm worried I'll accidentally delete the deviation or something. XD
If you guys want to see some really fantastic prints check out who is a helluva lot better than I am. ^ ^
And again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[2nd EDIT]: I realized this thing fits in my scanner. So there's a better image of it now. XD
Yes! I have looked on Youtube to find a video about aquatint, but I cant seem to find a good one. I am in a printmaking class (just for fun, my vocation is Graphic Design) and it is beginning printmaking. I am currently doing an etching on a zinc plate. I have so many questions! I dont want to bother you, but if you have time to answer I would appreciate it very much. 1) I am etching this image: [link] for piece. My professor hinted that I would be able to achieve ambient textures like the ones in the background on that piece, but I have no idea how. Would I attempt that when the ink is rolled on? Meaning that I only etch the plate with the most basic lines? 2)I have to produce 5-10 pieces that are exactly alike, so I worry that blotting the ink will result in dissimilar prints. 3) My professor said "aquatint is for printmaking 2 students" but I can do it if I figure it out on my own.
Ok I think that about sums it up. If you have, or know if, a tutorial or video I would love to see! I think your etchings make the strongest pieces in your gallery, the style seems to suit you. Ps- I hated shaving that zinc plate down!
This is great. Lovely work.

Great Job!
