Cardboard Sculptures for Beginners

Cardboard Sculptures for Beginners

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the design you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Model Choose a model you want to reproduce and draw a sketch with the measurements of the model.

The Proportions Pick a size for your course project and calculate the proportions. The Core Structure Create the structure of your sculpture. The Surface Use strips of cardboard to make the skin and the details of your sculpture. The Final Touches Varnish your sculpture and if you like, add color! And that's all! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”

“Final Project Thanks for taking this class. I hope it was enlightening. In this video, I'll do a quick recap of the course and give you final tips. Choose a 3D model. Don't forget to keep it with you all the time. Draw the sketch, measure it, and make sure you know where you'll install it, so you can measure it and choose the right scale. Make your structure. The more structure you make, the stronger your sculpture will be. Use the structure to place the first strips of cardboard and always look at your model to know what you're doing. Making the details can be quite tricky, but don't worry...”
