Making it look easy
The online course, an introduction to cardboard sculpture, was a good start. A place to gain insight. To observe technique, identify tools of the trade, and observe a work in progress. But I must remind myself ... Beginner beware. It's easy to overlook the fast-forward jump in the instructional video that glazes over the hours of work condensed into fifteen minute segments. The instructor's experience that makes it look so effortless. And the editing that eliminates mistakes, and do-overs. So I remind myself ... Trial and error is part of the deal. Slow down, this is going to take time. Simple supplies ... a pair of scissors, hot glue, and repurposed cardboard don't mean it will be easy. Your mistakes can't be eliminated by pressing the fast-forward button. Just take it one step, one snip, at a time. Comments are closed.
