High-Contrast Engraved Football Portraits
Three adult football portraits use black ink, fine cross-hatching, and textured ivory paper in a consistent linocut system. Dark contour lines and fine cross-hatching turn facial volume into a printmaking texture. Ivory paper and an otherwise empty background keep the centered face legible, while heavier shadows under the chin establish depth.
