Fig 1- 1st paper cutout: Asymmetrical Cutout
This is the garden which I had added a classic or a vintage garden bench and two cats. To make it more mature, I drew the cats tail joined together and make it a love shape. I also try to design the branches and leaves to be more classic and details just to challenge myself. By the way, there's a squirrel on the tree. Spot it! :)
Fig 2- 2nd paper cutout: Symmetrical Cutout
This is the symmetrical cutout which I basically added the cats.. AGAIN!? Besides, I decided to put the white color fences at the back to make it look more like gardens style and I added the swing which tied on the branches. I followed my pretty lecturer'suggestion and that is put the background color as baby blue or peach color. So I chose baby blue as the background color and it looks perfectly matched thanks to Ms.Lisa. Moreover, I feel that is not enough design on it so I added a speech bubble with a quiver music note inside of it and put it on top of the cat. I chose red color for music note just to make a little stand out for my design and to be honest, I got this idea the day before presentation. :)
On the presentation, most of my friends really done a fantastic job for the paper cutouts and compared to their works, I feel like mine was a little simple so I was't really happy for my work. I think I could done better than this.
My pretty lecturer, Ms.Lisa reviewed my paper cutouts and she said she preferred my figure 2 cutout because it's cute. For the figure 1, she said that is very nice yet the cutting skill at the bench was poor because the cutting wasn't clean and clear due to my blunted blade.
However, through out this assignment, I know how to use and control the blade more efficiently now. Maybe I should try using knife and do fruits cutout or vegetables cutout since I'm a little good to handling blade, I might able to control knife as well.
How I cut my Symmetrical paper cutout:
1. Draw half of your design on the black color paper
2. Cut out your design
3. Draw the outline of your design at the butter paper
4. Flip your butter paper's back to the front. It will end up become your design is below
5. Using pencils and shade the back of your design which is at the butter paper
6. Put the shaded butter paper onto the back of your black color paper
7. Follow the outline and trace it at the back of the black color paper
8. Then cut out both side of black color paper and you'll get a symmetrical design :)
I used different method to do this because I don't wish to fold my paper into half and leave a deep line on my products. :)
Lessons of the Assignment!!
I learnt how to be more Patient with my assignment. Honestly, I accidentally cut off many of my tree leaves for the figure 1, Asymmetrical cutout. Basically, you can see that my tree was a bit bold. Teehee :)
Next is Time Management. Never ever do your assignment at last minute because it'll just make your paper cutout looks horrible and incomplete. Time management really are important. I need to calculate how long I need to take to complete one product. If you didn't analyze or manage your time well, it really drives you crazy in the end and you'll go simply cut it.
Determination is also the key in this assignment. During sketching, I just draw what I want in the sketchbook without determine it. I did not realize and didn't ask myself, " How am I suppose to handle the branches and leaves?". In the end, I had wasted my precious time thinking on it. sob* :'(
Well, after completed my final products, I only feel like half satisfying because I think I can go further than this.
No Pain No Gain.
JUST FOR FUN :)
