How I make the paper cutting?

Hello~☆

Starting yesterday, I've started tracing the B2 size work with a black pen.

Now, ☆paper cutting has various styles depending on the artist☆

In the case of I...

→Draw on white paper

→ Trace with a black pen

→ Put white paper onto black paper together with masking tape

→decide which part is going to be black and white.

→ Cut two paper pieces together

→Coloring

The process is as follows:

Some people draw a rough sketch in pencil on white paper and then cut it out immediately, while others draw a rough sketch directly on black paper and then cut it out.

Some people, like me, start by drawing a rough sketch on a blank sheet of paper and then tracing it with a pen.

It's okay to do it in a way that's easy for you

In my case, if I only use pencil to make a rough sketch, I sometimes get carried away and draw too many small pieces while I'm writing with the pencil, which makes it difficult to cut afterwards! (→ It's too thin and I fail to cut it.)

If you trace your draft with a black pen, you can see if it's too detailed at that point, and you can also correct the thickness and size of the lines, so a black pen is essential.

By the way, the magic marker I use with the black pen is called Sharpie.

It's easy to use, but it has a strong smell, so I make sure to ventilate the room before applying it.

(I bought a lot of them at once, so I'm thinking of switching to water-based pens that have a gentler smell after I've finished using them all...)

See you soon!

It's been really hot lately so please take care of yourself!

Well, have a wonderful day today!
