Ok. Another try at a portrait monoprint. This time I stippled with a small stomp. I sanded one flatter and wider to do the snakes. Interesting technique. Mindlessly dotty, so to speak. I'm sure I can get it lighter next time. This was fun.
Not a resist. I inked up a zinc plate then drew (traced) thru a piece of paper on top. Where ever the pencil touches down, ink is pulled up (sticks to the back of the paper). I then un-stippled the face with an art stomp to remove ink where ever it touched down. Tedious but effective. 8-]

I love this!!! How in the world did you do it? It looks like a resist of some sort?
Thanx all,
