In Process Print Making Reflection

I have spent most of my time familiarizing myself with the process of print making using a pronto-plate.  My prints have so far turned out fairly sloppy––especially with my black prints. From now I think I need to change colors between my layers (the pronto-plate and the lorax) so I may try to print a white layer or red layer of the lorax over my black prints, and I already drew the lorax onto my red print in black pen because my plexiglass plate was not complete. I hope to make a couple more good pronto-plate prints and then later this week I think that I will print different colors of the lorax on the backgrounds.
My original hope was to portray the lorax, a symbol of protecting the environment in a very urban environment (on a street corner) but in my red print it looks almost as if the lorax is homeless. I think this is interesting because everyone can take their own ideas about what this symbolism means, but it is clearly an environmental statement. I plan on finishing this week, but I may need an extra day or two to refine my work and produce some nice prints.
