Paper Art!

0 min read
So since around last October (2012) I had begun working on Paper Art projects as Christmas presents for family members. I was inspired by the paper art of Brittney Lee, and I really wanted to try it out for myself. Those of you not familiar with her can find her blog here: http://britsketch.blogspot.com/ Anyway, I did a couple and they turned out pretty decent, and I loved doing them! I hadn't drawn in a very long time, and this form of art was something that I was actually inspired to work on. So I completed 4 of them before Christmas. However, I hadn't finished all the gifts I wanted to, so over the next 5 months, I have been slowly makin

Been awhile, as is typical of me in terms of updating. I have recently decided to do some self-improvement in the areas of art and animation. &nbsp;Trying my best to draw once a day or animate something. &nbsp;Working on this month's 11second club, but we'll see how that goes. No longer working at HAS, and am now doing freelance work in Hawaii. Not sure how long I'll be able to live off of this as jobs are scarce in Hawaii. I was fortunate enough to have some work from ReelFX, but you never know when you'll have work. Hopefully I can improve myself and make myself more impressive!

Well, as obvious by the fact that I haven't really updated much at all... I'm still busy. Just to update some info though...

The department is the Academy for Creative Media (ACM) and it's actually divided into animation and game design, Film, and critical studies (of media things). I had decided that semester that I didn't really want to just get a art degree in drawing and painting (didn't know what I'd do with just that), so I tried for ACM. Very diffic

I love your paper art :) How do you know how to layer the pieces? Do you play with it beforehand?
Thanks! Sorry for the super late reply since I rarely check my own dev account.  I do a sketch ahead of time so I generally know where the pieces will go. I make up the color along the way as I look at the paper I have available to me.
Thanks so much for the watch!!:hug: it really means so much to me!:aww:
Thank YOU for having such a lovely style. :) Very inspirational for me.
Thank you very much for the watch ^_^
I can't believe I forgot to +watch you!
Thanks for the favourite!
