Advanced Papercraft Techniques: Designing with Paper
|
Explore the possibilities of paper by transforming designs into volumetric shapes
Have you ever pondered the endless creative possibilities of the humble sheet of paper? Diana Beltrán is a designer and paper sculptor who has worked for major international clients like James Cropper, Hodder and Stoughton, Marina Rinaldi, and many more.
In this online course, join her on a journey through exciting techniques and innovative ways to design with paper. With a range of simple exercises combining manual and digital methods, discover how to model this cheap and easy-to-find material, transforming two-dimensional designs into incredible compositions created with volumetric shapes.
Start by learning about Diana Beltrán Herrera’s background, her influences, and which pieces of work and artists inspire her the most when creating her own art.
She then explains how to search for references to help create your design. Diana focuses much of her work on birds and nature, so the piece she shows you how to make features flora and fauna. Once you have your folder of images, import them into Illustrator and design the first sketch of your final project.
Now it’s time to get your hands dirty! Diana explains how to cut the pieces and use the glue correctly. Apply watercolors and other painting materials to develop all the elements of your design.
Next, dive right into creating the main volumetric component of your design. Look at how to create the main structure (in this case, a bird) using paper and how to assemble each of the parts, which are created separately. Learn how to dress the skeleton of your bird with paper feathers and add the eyes and beak.
