Sketchbook work

These are a few pieces from my sketchbook

Collagraph- Homeless prints No.2

For my 2nd collagraph, I created a side profile image of the homeless man , crouched in a corner of a dirty street. Beside him is a broken window to signify the harsh lifestyle he endures. I build this board using tissue, masking tape,paper, glue, carbrundum, and I also scratched into the surface with a knife. I used a bright yellow and black ink for contrast. The yellow colour is also reminiscent of the unnatural environment he lives in and the city lights. I then monoprinted phrased like "have a nice day anyways love" on top to bring my prints to life and add character.
