My Evaluation

You don’t cut just one way you think carefully on how to shape your lines to create shape in the face. You also have to cut out the face and not the lines because the bits you don’t cut will show up on your face, you can’t cut too much or you will not see the face. When it comes the printing it you have to have the right amount of ink one because if you have to much it will come out gluggy.

At the start I wasn’t too sure about the linocuts and woodcuts because me and my sister always caved into the tree and that wasn’t so easy but when I learnt how to hold it properly and all the best ways to do it, it was a breeze. I also learnt to be careful with what you cut out.

I think I did really good because you can tell the difference from the black and white but it still has detail just not too much.

I only did my eye because I am not the best at drawing my face also, I thought a face would be too hard but now I have done it once I have noticed it is a lot easier than I thought, so if I got to do another one I would give the face a go.  Also there are little lines under my eyes and I would make them a bit thicker because you can only see them if you look very carefully.
