Drawing 5 December
So today I opened up this drawing tool: http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php and printed off this image. I used my watersoluble graphite pencils, the first image is dry and the second where I have added water. I can tell by the clumsiness of the execution how long it is since I have done this sort of thing arrrrh!! and I only had one suitable brush to hand to so the finish is not good.
Well anyway although I know this isn't very good, I feel I am certainly moving in the right direction, and I am happy that at long long last I am doing some consistent practice, which is the key thing for me!

I love these. I prefer the second one. More drama.
I don't see the problems you talk about. To be honest the only thing that kinda takes my eye in the wrong way is the wobbly paper. The artowrk is spot on!
I continue to "watch this space."

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
