Paper Cut Misha

[tripperfunster]

Still playing with the medium. I bought a new knife today from Lee Valley, then promptly broke the tip off! I didn't buy any replacement blades, since I didn't know if I'd like it or not. I do.

Here's Misha with a Kale background, and then just a simple black one. This was white cut paper, instead black, like last time.

that's my problem with paper cutting (the layers) -- I press so hard to get through the paper that my hand shakes, if I press lighter, then I either lose control, or it doesn't cut. *shrugs*

I"ve also been using a thicker 'art' paper (bristol) than just regular paper. Which needs even MOAR pressure. Then, I have to go back and basically re-cut all the shit I didn't cut the first time around.

Of course, I"m still a n00b, so I might improve in that department, or I might not!
