First week on my one-a-week monster girls brief and I already know I'm enjoying this so much more than trying to force myself into doing illustration Friday or Inktober that I'm not really invested in.
This week I drew a faun, and god was it something.
As part of my brief I decided at least part of the image had to be papercut - so I can expand my skills in this. So I decided to do the legs out of brown paper, and oh boy that was an experience. The paper was barely the right texture to be cut and just ripped a lot, so that was frustrating. Also I found when I sketched the legs they looked fine but when I cut them out they were just all wrong, so I ended up having to chop bits up and stick them down in different parts to make them look acceptable.
Papercut is kind of weird because you basically have to guess what size everything has to be to fit and look right, I found myself cutting out the same pieces a few times before I got it right.
