My piece of printmaking is a drypoint. I used a nail to create my lines in my drawing. On my plate all my lines are thick and all of them are the same. The way I hold my nail is the way I draw stuff on paper. When I was drawing it was pretty hard to get an angle because when you're using a nail to draw with its pretty hard because when your trying to get an angle you know that your gonna make a mistake but when I kept learning I finally got it. The greater you cut your work the deeper the line. Some of them won't show like mine, some didn't show because the nail I used wasn't sharp enough and when I printed it I saw that it was cut but not deep enough. In my drawing, I didn't use any tone. The material we used to wipe the ink off was a soft cloth and the tool we used to apply in on was a scraper. The equipment used to pressure the ink onto the paper was called the printing press which rolls up and down and puts pressure on your work.

When I looked at everyone's result they were all different to some had 6 as their higher number and some had 7 & 8 as there highest number and that surprised me because that means that 6, 7 & 8 are the most common numbers.
