Original image.
Scan of first etching plate.
This is a scan of an etching of the great letterpress artist Alan Kitching, I have not printed it yet but learning about the process of etching has been really interesting. I decided to used hard ground on my etching plate. I really like the flowing quality that you can create, especially in the hair. I will update this post when printed.
After Printing the etching above I decided it needed something else, so I filled in the Background to give the image more shape and better white space ratio.
Final etching print.
