My human form cardboard project


My finished human form cardboard project
All pictures of model Emily Ratajkowski 
The two cardboard carvings on the outsides are approximately life sized and centre image is a lot larger then life.
For these pieces I found pictures of the model online and edited them on Photoshop to a huge scale and made them into a mono tone so they were just black and white.
I then secured the group of A4 pages onto a door sized piece of thick cardboard and then carved around the black lines with a craft knife, once I had the main shapes I used a lino cutter to slice through the ridges to make the darker effect.
For the lighter areas I got a sponge and tray of water are dampened the areas so then the thin top layer would peel without going all the way through.
Finally, I sanded the darker area to neaten it and done a brown dark to light ink wash.
