I love prints like shin-hanga and ukiyo-e but I look to more incorporate that into a graphic design style with watercolor and digital than to actually carve shit. I frequently copy and learn from them along with other notan carvings for black and white.

People like David Bull are a treasure on youtube in terms of printmaking. Take your pick of where to start, he's a great storyteller.
Here he is making op's pic

modern practitioners keeping the tradition alive

David Bull is amazing. Maarit's also a pretty good resource for linocut printing

I wish there was more resources and artists out there doing this sort of stuff.

I like doing minimal woodcuts

Anyone have experience using a ball-bearing baren? I'm wondering if can print blacks this solid without a press...

my guess is woodcuts (hand printed)
a decent set of 'beginner' stuff to get started will probably cost $60

And for 'professional' stuff a little over $100

also after the initial cost of chisel/s, roller, your first ink etc the ongoing costs of materials (more ink, paper, mdf/cheap wood) is incredibly cheap.

chisels set for begginers are like 10 bucks, and then you can print with anything that you can cut into. wood plank are not really expensives, medium is easier when you begin. To print you'll need any kind of paper, try some, wet them before if you want to. You'll need some ink, that might be expensive tho. You can print with some weights and a wooden spoon

I'd recommend avoiding $10 sets, even for beginners. It'll be a bit like trying to learn to skate on a $20 board...

Pretty cool

Barenforum.org looks like a good source of information, they had also a nice shop but seems like it's closed now

I personally like lino and woodcut and have good results with these techniques but I'm incredibly meticulous so the process takes so long it's not enjoyable. I'm kind of torn because printing outcome is different than regular drawing or painting, feels more neat but I don't know if it's worth the pain. I just can't change my pedantic mind to stop making all the lines fully planned and immaculate.

Thanks for reading my blog

yay a printmaking thread!

im just getting into it after learning about it from daves yt channel, these are my first prints
they kinda suck but thats because i was using a 15$ tool set on shitty free wood and printing by hand(instead of with a barren or whatever) lmao

got some better tools, wood, brushes, and a barren coming, so hopefully my next ones will be alot better

You just need to practice carving till its all muscle memory. IMO woodcarving has a pretty low skill ceiling and when you hit it, woodcutting becomes a relaxing activity.

Something about Japanese prints always make me reflexively think of pixel art. The pixel art scene in Japan probably gets its aesthetics from such prints - I like it a lot.

japanese printmaking has a tradition of layering 'flattened' space together (like a 2D game)

Just got done with a printmaking course, actually. I think linoleum blocks are also good for a beginner. It's softer than woodblocks, and they're fairly cheap.

Yes, I've dabbled and I really want to get more invested in it, but I just can't seem to commit.
