Hi, I am Welles Tan, welcome to my blog. I had been a caricaturist for events and parties since 1990. Silhouette Cutting also called Portrait Silhouette Cutting,Profile Cutting or Shadow Cutting. It is an art that using scissors to cut out a shape of a person’s side profile using dark color paper. You can frame it like a photo, put on the desk as a decoration for memories. Within an hour, it should be about 40 - 50 cutting of A6 size to be produced, this is a professional artist's speed.

Couple and Group Silhouette Cutting
Most of the time I only do single portrait silhouette cutting which cut one person at a time during events. I seldom couple or group silhouette cutting because it will take longer time to produce such artwork especially during the limited booking hours. Usually, if it is a wedding event, I only do for the wedding bridal and broom, the rest of the guests will only get my single portrait silhouette done.Single portrait silhouette cutting is much easier than couple or group silhouette cutting, because producing 2 or more portrait profiles on the same piece of paper need to control the scale carefully, you also need to know whose profile to be produce first.Just like drawing the real portrait, all the face in the drawing must be logically event, if one head moch bigger than the others in the drawing, that will looks strange.
