Cut paper process

So I recently picked up this method so it's been lots and lots of experimenting this semester!


I make everything at half size of original.  I make a tight drawing, flip it, trace it on colored cardstock paper, and then cut it out.  Then glue whatever pieces together and draw in the small details!  This is always the fun part for me.

Then onto photographing.

For this page, I decided to give it a digital background instead of cutting out all the trees.  (because of time! Or else I would've cut those trees out!)

I also added a 'canvas' texture to this one.

This one's still a work in progress so the colors will be changing.


And who knows if I come up with a different process again!  I'm always experimenting.

Happy Valentines Day!

This is one of my really graphic illustrations.  So for anyone who knows me, they know I'm obsessed with Stegosauruses.  I normally color them in teal and pink but I went for a "little boys color scheme"


Make it a nibble on hearts and feast on chocolates kinda day!
