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.

Mona Lisa's Side Profile
Produced this artwork based on my years experiences of portrait studies.
It was very difficult to produce a silhouette based on front view of the photo or painting unless the detail was very clear: the clear portrait, the lighting and etc. the provide many details that I can trace and retrieve my experiences database to match the shapes of the portrait silhouette during the cutting process.
