16/04/21 creating me as a cut-out

Previously I created this, to help me create me as a cut-out in the future but this was actually was a huge mistake as i drew in a4 paper and where as the cut-out was going to be way way way smaller. so I drew multiple times the middle me where I'm looking at the side.

As you can see I worked backwards because i cut out the first attempt in the wrong side however you can see the progress though. First attempt was way to proportionally wrong. I realised the head is the key to making the whole body proportionally all correct so i worked on the head size be smaller. I used lines and blocks to create the proportions. It was a lot of trial and error until i ended with a final cut-out which I cut out with scissors. The only thing i hated about the final cut-out is the hair is trimmed off flat.

The ultimate step was putting the coloured cards to create the clothes on me. It was lot of trimming and adjusting. The first error was the first jacket. You can see in the second slide that the jacket was cut short in the ends. I picked up on the error and covered the mistake with the trouser being a bit longer. I think the best thing about this cut-out was the shoes because I love the extra detail of the N and the brown card which I had to use a pencil to glue onto because it was really tiny. The bag was crosshatched instead of fully coloured in black to not mess with the linework of other clothes. I really hated the little smudge I created on its face.
