Stencil Attempt 2

After a period of reflection, contemplation and doing nothing really exciting except for doodling I thought I would try and stencil again.

Taking one of my previously doodled characters, itself taken from some previous sketches and scraps, I set about making the stencil in thin card before trying it out on a piece of scrap card. I'm not too sure what I think at the moment, I have lost a lot around the mouth and the cloud edges could be thinner. I think I will try again and define the mouth some more with a thin strip cut out from the top of the teeth. If it turns out well I will see what I can do next.

Using my previously made stencils I have made a fairly worrying start. This dismall effort is the result of not liningg up the different stencil forms. I think I will scrounge some more card and make sure that I leave a guide so that I can line the three different stages up. This way I can better assess if I can move forward with this technique.

Assuming that this work pays off I can also utilise screen printing techniques.

Something I just googled is this: www.art-e-zine.co.uk/stentut2.html advising how to make stencils, not too sure if this is the best way, but there is a fair bit of info and should prove fairly useful if I decide to continue down this route
