Dennis, I absolutely love that kind of technique! It looks so exciting *_* .


I think the edges of the paper make the whole thing look kind of jagged and indented. I drew the cut-out lines on the other side and used a design knife to cut out the shapes. Any suggestions on how to fix that issue? Anyone else here done paper-cutting before? Criticism greatly appreciated. Diorama paper-cutting is tonnes of fun! Because these look so interesting with a light behind them, I'm thinking of constructing a lantern with this technique. Any suggestions on a scene?

Maybe draw the cutout lines on the same side which will be seen by the viewer, so that the edges will curve away from the viewer instead of towards him. Either use an eraser to remove the lines or always cut along their inside, so no lines end up on the pieces you use. It might also help to use colored paper to take the attention away from the edges.

Working on rendering a bit. Unhappy with the eyes and throat mostly (they look unfocussed and withered respectively), and perhaps the lips a little.
Self portrait.

Beautiful!

Hope you post the finished product.

(can't say I like the play on words there though, hehe)

Huzba: very nice :] would love to see it finalized.

I was inspired by some samurai jack animation backgrounds and I had some poster paints I wanted to try and learn to use:

This then prompted me to try some more backgrounds, as it's a weak point of mine. And to further my own punishment, decided to do them purely from imagination. I'm really satisfied with the results:

Real atmospheric, Ryumaru. I love the almost cross-hatching effect on the first one.

I did some giraffe skulls (graphite, watercolour, photoshop)

A grungy portrait, intended to be some ageing rocker reflecting on life or something.

Essentially a painting study. The hair was good fun. Ear's a bit low and big. Could have done with a bit less bloom on the light stuff in retrospect.
