Etching-drypoint

I don't know what that is, but it looks pretty freaking cool in my book.

>>2928291
youve got a book about it and you dont know what it is?

but really explain this, someone.

>etching thread on /ic/
Sorry senpai, /ic/ is too full of normies to know what etching is

>>2928381

We had ceramics thread which was very good, but yeah, it was more of a bizarre happy accident than anything. /ic/ can't even hold sculpture threads, artistic printing is just waaay too obscure and specialized and I think only art students had any experience with it during selected classes.

Art student here, etching is an entire subject at my school.

>>2928291
OP here, etching is a form of manual printing and drypoint is one of its subtechniques.
Im interested, what is your book about?

>>2928381
Op here.
Im a newfag and i noticed that there is no etching thread,and decided to give it a try.its a shame that there is no people interested in this form of art

It would be good to se one of your prints if you have some of course

we had some in art school, i'd love to do some at home but getting a press and having bowls of acid around are not something i can go for at the moment

Use plexiglass so dont have to mess whit acid
Use sandpaper for grey areas (thicker=blacker)
Go back to your art.school,(in my case they let me use the press)

I do, but this is the only one I have a picture of atm. So far, we've only worked with wood. Next year we are going to get into metal.

I did etching once and fell in love with it, I want to do it again as soon as I get access to another press, so there is interest :)

It is like nails on a chalkboard to me when people confuse etching with dry point engraving.

Prints or GTFO

You have pretty good curves there,thats a sign that you have a proper use of the tool,work in the design itself.
