How to Make a ZINE in 24 Hours | riso + screenprinting

It was a crazy day, making this zine in 24 hours! This is the sketching, illustrating and printing process, with a couple of mini struggles in between. I put together, mostly at home, with riso printing, and I printed the cover with silkscreen / screenprinting at the silkscreen studio (Miniprint Seoul). As hectic as it was, setting a deadline of 24 hours definitely helped me hustle to finish this zine---without getting stuck or being a perfectionist!
In this process video, I'll show you how to make an illustrated zine on a deadline. If you made a zine, what would it be about?
The finished zine is available on my shop at: www.kelbelter.com/shop

Hi kel!! I was wondering what brush you used for your drawings? I love your work!! thank you!

@KelBelter Жыл бұрын

Hi! It’s the Rusty Nib brush set from True Grit Texture Supply, in this video. I also make my own brushes but those are some of my favorites!

@Youtubewatcher90378 8 ай бұрын

I think they intended to describe how hands-on it is, maybe describing how “haptic” it is. Hapticity I’ve heard of only in chemistry and only once or twice.

@nidhishshivashankar4885 4 ай бұрын

Tactility is a more common word that describes *probably* the same concept you’re trying to get to. I say probably cause I’m not a mind reader so if you don’t think it’s the right word then that’s totally fine 👍 just playing thesaurus over here lol

wow! that's interesting--so they gave you the entire large ink tube to take home, or did you bring home like a mini version to experiment with? I've only ever used riso ink with the printer :-) I think if you're using it with a brush or applying in some other way, the main thing is to use paper that is absorbent (so doesn't have any coating!)

Hi! Just wanted to update you because I recently found one of these zine copies (it's from a few years ago, so I didn't have many left), and I thought you might be happy to know that I actually did write in the zine that the story is from the Kuba of Central Africa. On the finished zine page, 'Africa' has a star (*) next to it, and there are more specifics that credit the Kuba on that page. I was happy to find that it was there after all ^^
