Artist's Comments

This is a stencil of Meiji from errant story. I did a cutout filter on a picture of my friend, changed the eyes and mouth, and loosely followed the rest of the form.

This is the best use of suggestion in stenciling that I have done yet. The shirt is suggested by only some lines, the hand, legs, elbow, neck, and some of the hair are only suggested by the beams from the ball of light, and the ear is suggested by the hair.

I could have made the background hand look more normal, but I wanted to keep it a fist, and didn't want to keep messing with it.

Also, I now sort of understand the pen tool

wow. O_o your style is super unique...i've never seen anything like it (not that i am all that well versed lol) it's makes for wonderful details which arent weighed down so the overall effect is really light and beautiful even with such heavy contrast colors like black and white...i totally dig this. and that...would you call it a rising sun? is really beautiful too. <3

I've just now figured out (I think) the pen tool in photoshop. The little beamy magic ball, her hair, and some other stuff was done with this. It's sort of a path tool. All I know for sure, is that I've never made such crisp lines using a mouse so easily before.

Also, in case it was unclear, this is a screenprinting stencil, for putting on t-shirts, walls, or anything really.

You have such nice things to say!
:iconjigsaw-girl:
yes yes screenprinting! that's what interests me! this looks so easy to print and cut out to make stencils. i am always doing them by hand for my husbands skate boards and for my t shirts...
LOL and that pen thing sounds familiar... is it the one that links lines ends automatically? i dont know its logic so i have a hard time to control it i think (if that's the one you mean!)

that's so cool i simply must learn this @__@...
also you make it sound like you put stencils on walls quite a lot! LOL
:iconchuuko:
I learned from the lengthy description here :[link]

However, just make 3 or more points to make a shape, then click your first point (your cursor will have a little 0 next to it) to close the path. Click control on one of your lines to move a point, alt-click to make bends, go to the select tool to move and free transform the pen shape.
But mostly, it's getting used to the crazy thing.

You sound like a prolific screen printer also!
:iconjigsaw-girl:
oh wow O_O you're the best...i've got to go try this! <3!
wish me luck!
a LOT of luck!

about screenprint i actually never have O_O only spraypainted and fabric painted through a stencil so i am so ready for the next step and have been stopped several times from buying equipment yet because it's not in my 'budget' or something yet lol <3
