Step 1: The first thing we were required to do for this project was trace over the details we felt were most important with pencil. Then we had to go over the pencil tracing with sharpie on a separate piece of tracing paper. This part of the process was probably the most frustrating for me since I didn't feel like I was capturing what I 'should'. I was a bit lost with what I should've focused on.
Step 2: The second step we needed to do was transfer the picture onto the black paper we were cutting from. In order to have the graphite on the back of the finished product, I didn't flip the tracing paper when I did the transfers. This was one of the easiest steps in the process, but it was extremely hard to get myself to do since I didn't find it fun, and I lost interest easily.
Step 3: The next step was actually cutting the paper out, and I enjoyed myself a lot. It was therapeutic to work on even though the time crunch made it a tad stressful.
Step 4: After cutting out the paper, I tried out various ways to place them to make a good composition, and since two of them turned out really bad, I re cut them.
Step 5: After placing down and getting an idea of where I wanted the different cut outs to be, I had to glue them down. This was probably the most fun I had in the project because it meant I was getting closer to the end, but I took my time to make sure I didn't get glue on the front of the piece.
Step 6: The last step was cropping the illustration board down to size and cleaning up any excess rubber cement or graphite. Unfortunately, one of my classmates dropped her pen on it, so I have to re-cut it.
