As the spiritual totem of the Chinese nation, the dragon has received the highest worship and respect from people since ancient times. Therefore, the image of the dragon is often seen in various folk handicrafts including paper-cutting. The dragon itself is a divine creature, and its image has slightly changed in different periods according to peoples understanding, but the unique courage and majesty of the dragon have never changed.
In the paper-cut pattern used in this paper-cut tutorial, the image of the dragon is more specialized. Because it uses relatively simple lines, you can see that the dragon looks more cartoonish. However, the ingenious combination of detailed production and the structure of the dragons body makes the entire dragon look more complete, and of course it has an unstoppable impact.

1. Preparation work before paper-cutting. First of all, before paper-cutting, you still need to prepare the basic materials. You need to use several single-sided colored papers to be stacked and fixed with a stapler.
2. Tracing. Tracing is still a necessary step in making paper-cutting. Since this paper-cutting tutorial is not complicated, you can get the complete effect by using ordinary hand-drawn tracing.
3. Paper-cutting and carving-cutting. Paper-cutting uses the outline method to first obtain some basic pattern shapes, and then uses paper-cutting to carve the patterns inside the dragon body. You can also use symmetrical paper-cutting to complete the pattern production. It should be noted that because the dragons limbs are relatively slender, they may break during operation and need to be cut carefully.
