In this course, Gerard Miró from the Lo Siento Studio teaches you how to create a three-dimensional still life on paper using the papercraft technique. Learn to extract the geometry of an object and transfer it to paper in the form of a fold-out to assemble later.

The applications of this technique are endless, as it allows you to physically bring to life any object, volume lettering, packaging, and more.

## Pentru cine este acest curs online?

Designers, illustrators, artists, and creatives in general who struggle with papercraft or are interested in learning new forms of illustration, as well as those who want to know some of the methods that Lo Siento Studio uses to carry out their work.

## Care este proiectul acestui curs?

Create a free-themed papercraft still life from real objects.

## Cerințe și materiale

No previous knowledge is necessary to take this course, just a lot of enthusiasm and a little patience.

Regarding the materials, you need a precision cutter or scalpel, an endoscope, a compass, a metal ruler, a few different-colored markers, glue, paper, colored cardboard, and a basic photography set, as well as a computer with Photoshop installed for the final retouching.

Don't let the geometry part put you off, you use it as a reference for the shape of the object, but no knowledge of applied mathematics is necessary.

## Conţinut

### About us

In this unit, we will introduce ourselves and we will explain what we do in Lo Siento. You will know our influences and that we are nourished to do what we do.

### What's on the menu

In this unit we will know the material necessary for the development of the course, we will decide the objects with which we want to work and after knowing a couple of concepts of basic geometry, we will prepare our object through a process of plucking, to have it ready for the next unit.

### Preparation of ingredients

In this unit we will prepare the pieces of the unfolding of our objects. Let's start by moving the measurements from the original object to the paper to get the unfolding by triangulation. We will transfer this unfolding to another material and finally we will mark folds and add flaps for gluing. 
 From this point of the course it is advisable to work with a single object until the end of its construction, to better understand the process and to detect any possible failure, if any. We recommend starting with an object with simple geometry to strengthen the process well.

### Cook

In this unit we will work the cutting and gluing processes of the different pieces that make up our objects. As you will see, just before the gluing process we must present the pieces to verify that we have not left any tabs.

### Serve the table

If everything went well, you already have your objects transformed into papercraft. It is time to arrange them in an attractive way to shoot a good photo with the device you have, whatever. After throwing the photo, we will see a couple of tricks to slightly tweak the image, if necessary.
