Which Side to do the Silhouette?

Many guests were asking me which side of their face from side view is the best, to me it doesn’t make any different.

Technically, the producing of a portrait silhouette (side profile or the portrait’s side viewed shadow) is emphasized on the edge of the shape of the neck portion, to the jaw, the mouth, the nose, forehead till the shape of the hair style and etc.

Not like caricature or portrait drawing, silhouette cutting would not describe the rest or the details like what type of eye, what type shape of the ear and so ford, therefore hardly differentiate which side view of your portrait silhouette had been produced from.

Hence we are very demand on the likeness of the final product for sure.Talking about the likeness, not many people can tell by themselves whether the silhouette artwork being done was look alike with them or not, this is because in the whole world, majority of the human being only emphasized the front look of their own faces through the mirror, therefore the guests need to get their friends to tell them whether the silhouette artwork being done whether looks like them or not.

Wedding Dinner at Raffles Hotel Singapore

I had done a roving silhouette cutting service for another special date: 10/10/09. The so call special date usually is the combination of the numbers (day, month and year etc.) like this year’s 09.09.09 (9th September 2009).Nice, classy and simple deco.The sepia color mural painting was look like a real sculpture that was really interesting.Just take this photo because I found it interesting in this angle.

Wedding Silhouette Cutting

Chinese Paper Cutting Chinese Mid Autumn Festival

Just did Chinese Paper Cutting Demo cum workshop to an event for Chinese Mid Autumn Festival. Many guests were very interesting to participate in this demo and workshop.

I just realized many people did not know how to use scissors, so I had tried my best to guide them.

Talking about Chinese Paper Cutting, the traditional way was to draw the design on the back of the red paper then do the related cutting.

Chinese Paper Cutting is actual belonging to one of the graphic design category in my view; one of the methods to produce it was using the template. We can just use the computer to design it and then print out the design and stable it on the red paper and do the cutting.

Front View Silhouette Cutting

It had been many times that many people asked me why cant I do a front view silhouette cutting of their portrait, the reason is because in traditional silhouette cutting which very emphasized on the outline of the artwork was hardly tell that is the person’s portrait if they compare the art piece with the real person; because usually not much people having a strong features during the event unless they really make it a big different.

That was what I mean having strong feature front the front view ;p

Silhouette for Couples

Thought cutting 2 persons in one piece of paper is one of the difficult tasks; because you really need to handle the scoring of the portrait size very carefully else the artwork will not be nice eg. One head too big and one head too small, the aiming direction of both portraits in your artworks was different etc.The hair style and the related accessories of the guests, is one of the factor that affect the ‘design’ (which mean how you like to arrange them in you art piece) of the artworks.
