About the final project for: Amigurumis: Design and Create 2D Characters

Amigurumis: Design and Create 2D Characters

“We have reached the end of the course and of our 2D amigurumi adventure. I really wish that everything we have seen has not only surprised you, but also motivated you to start your own story in Amigurumi 2D. Find a plain notebook and a pencil to start from scratch. It's wonderful to learn new things! I know that everything we have seen has been a lot of information and, above all, new dye, that is why I encourage you to remember that the fabric is achieved point by point and that is also the case in the learning process. Make small tests, try to know a little more today than yesterday. Fall in love with the results you get, even if they are not what you expected, you will see that if you change your perspective towards them, they will become your great teacher, after all, that is what 2D Amigurumi is all about, a change of weaving perspective that will transform you completely. Before we say goodbye, let's review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Your character Look for inspiration and decide what character you are going to create. If you choose an animal, as I have done, I recommend looking for a real photo as a reference. Also, make a first sketch of your amigurumi and look for the materials to carry out your project.

Graphics Create the necessary graphic(s) to weave your 2D amigurumi as we saw in the Unit 2 lessons.
Fabric In this phase of the project, I crocheted the head, body, and legs of your amigurumi. Then do the stuffing and sewing according to your design.
Latest details Give your character personality with details such as the nose and teeth, or an accessory such as the float or the hat.
I congratulate you! You already have your first 2D amigurumi and I am very happy to have shared this course with you. I'm sure that, technically speaking, this is your first encounter with her, so enjoy the process a lot. Learning and taking first steps is the most beautiful thing in this life. Now share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I want you to know that I am grateful that you have chosen me as your 2D amigurumi teacher and that we have traveled the whole course together until the end, I am really anxious to see your final project and your designs, so remember that I will wait for you in the forum to get to know each other more and share. I invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. It sure is very enriching! See you soon! This is just starting… With love, Viceroyalty ”

“Final project We have reached the end of the course and I would like to leave you some recommendations. To begin with, that you are encouraged to create your own sketches. Make sure they are always simple, that they allow you to experiment and find your own creative process and that you go checking step by step that you are assimilating this new concept. Remember that the most important thing is to start. See you in the Forum And thank you for accompanying me throughout this course.”
