A tiny (5cmx6cm) cut-paper illustration for Illustration Friday. This is (as so often) a test patch for several other projects, one of which is working on capturing the shadows cast by the paper rather than dropping them in digitally. I do not, however, have a modern functional camera, so this is taken with my phone, and assorted living room lights, and the picture raised by a piece of kneadable eraser. I may need to call on some photographer friends to show me the way. Possibly if I cut the picture to a larger scale, getting a decent resolution for print would not be an issue.

Actually I think I like the multiple overlapping shadows – it gives the image a slightly mysterious effect.

Thank you! Working with capturing them effectively… on a phone.

This is beautiful! I am always jealous of cut paper artists… I can’t even make a snowflake!

Draw on it first, then cut? :)
