Progress: EMBOSSMENT woahhhh

So I've finished another "facial expression" drawing.

And Wednesday I worked on monotyping the image.

I blocked out ink with a textured placemat. I really like the embossment seen below.

I then printed the inked side of the placemat like a relief.

I then printed the subtractive monotype plate and blocked out the upper left corner with a foam flower thing I found. Then, I monotyped my drawing over the yellow.

This is a close-up of the lovely embossment.
