Let's Start Cutting & Printing!

This process is called the Colour Reduction Process
 
Here, you will see my demonstration and mistakes made.
And also my second attempt starting with a new piece of lino (in green colour).

1. Cut "white" areas. 

White areas - NO colour. Makes sense that we remove this layer first.

1a. Print "yellow". 
Do a minimum of 3 prints.
There is no turning back later when you want more prints. Here, I only did 2 prints, which I already regretted not doing more.

2. Cut "yellow" areas. 

Tip:
Cut the outlines of the eyes, nose and mouth first.
Cut the outlines of the other areas within the yellow colour.
Proceed to cut out the areas within the yellow.

2a. Print "pink".

Mistakes:
1. Not using back the same template for alignment in yellow print.
2. Printing on yellow print right away without testing first.

STOP & CHECK!

1. Test print the pink layer first.

2. Look at all the markings on the face and untidy areas. Cut away stained area on face. Wash the Lino and neaten all the cuts before proceeding to second colour print.
