Risograph is a printing technique in which can print one color per time. Artists can make layers in order to print out different areas with a different color.

How it Works

The machine is loaded with the appropriate ink drum, corresponding to the artwork. The artwork is then sent to the printer either through the flatbed scanner (like a photocopier) or via a computer. The printer then burns the artwork onto a stencil that is wrapped around the drum and ink can then pass through. — http://www.dizzyink.co.uk/guide-to-risograph

There are many techniques that can be used with the risograph method such as, overlaying, each area uses different colors, gradient, etc.

overlay to make the ink mixed
each area, each color
overlay > gradient > texture

These are my first draft and experiments

This is the final design in grayscale

Then separate into layers. The colors I chose are yellow and purple which is the complementary color. I chose one light color and another one to be dark color.
