Silhouette • dancing at the beach

Here is the final outcome. I think the black paper works best because of the contrast. The second picture shows the sketch on top of the black paper-used as a template.

figure sketch

This is a scan from my sketchbook. I am planning on using this one to create a silhouette. I had to make some minor adjustments from the photo reference. Maybe I'll post the photo/sketch/final cut paper in the next post to show the process. I scanned this in because I have been using the sketch on top of the final color paper. So, the sketch gets cut as well....Maybe I'll come up with a better process soon.
