Obrigado! Eu não faço grande coisa. Lavo sempre os pincéis com água quando acabo de trabalhar e uma vez por ano ou assim quando noto que as pontas já não estão no melhor estado meto-lhes um bocadinho de condicionador do cabelo - ajuda a devolver-lhe alguma forma.

Also since most of if not all of my pieces are nature focused I find that also helps with mistakes: it's easier to disguise mistakes within organic textures and shapes and if its really really egregious I can always cover stuff up with extra foliage for example.

I avoid white ink at all costs unless I'm way too far into a piece or it's a comic page or something where the cleanliness of the original art doesn't matter as much.

Since my drawing style is many many fine lines, it's actually pretty forgiving: if a line gets wobbly or escapes a shape I just slightly obscure it with rendering or sometimes lightly fade the ink with a ink rubber.

Good question! I ink over printouts of my sketches and I tackle what I perceive to be hardest bit of the drawing first. Often restarting until I get it right ( faces are the usual focus). Once I'm happy with those I usually commit to inking the rest with little mistakes. I work slowly to avoid them.

He paired it with relaxed laws so landlords can raise rents even higher and charge 3x times the rent as security deposits. As to the "selfish" claims he says there isn't a housing crisis and that people are importing greavences from other countries. The man lives in an alt reality

The charm of Riso is that it has some of the same qualities of hand-pulled screen printing even though it's a very different process. Apparently it was never meant for illustrations with my degree of detail, I've been told, but my printers are exceptionally competent with that tech.

Rent takes away probably 80% of my monthly earnings, and the costs of living only keep getting higher. This is true for most of my peers in Portugal. When people here dare protest the housing crisis this is the reply from our government. Our PM gaslights us with some fantasy about us being selfish.

Hypothetically the limit of colors would be ones available in the Riso catalogue, but I'm no expert

Well, to be fair it's not ALL they are doing, or to put it better that would severely diminish how extremely tricky and meticulous it is to align the color layers alone with Riso printers. Especially for works with this amount of detail. I personally never even seen prints like this done this way.

Yeah pretty much, with the added factor that you can choose hot pink instead of magenta for example.

I do know this: since the lineart is separate from the colors in the file I send them the black outlines aren't built up of the stacking of the different colors, it's overlayed on top of them. So even if colors deviate from each other during printing the black overlay ensures readability

I can't claim to understand anything about the process as its the printers that deserve all the credit: I just digitally paint the piece like I would any other and they do the color separations. Here's a peek at the process:

You really need to experience these in person: the colors are electrifying and full of a character only risograh can give them.

The purpose of this print series is to fund the production of my next book but it's also a cool way to re-interpret old pieces, expecially because the printing done by Arco Ignis is so mind-blowing to me still.

If you don't mind sharing this post, please do. I really welcome your help.

Some very kind words about a particular piece (and making of video) of which I just coincidently released a colored version today. Up now on both shops.
