Paper-cutting We are very familiar with it, but unlike the domestic paper-cutting method, foreign paper-cutting artists often use knives instead of scissors. So people often call this type of paper-cutting paper engraving. However, the two are usually collectively referred to as paper-cutting by default. The set of paper-cut and engraving works that I admired today was designed and produced by paper-cut master Craig Tinsky. The clever combination of lines gives us an unprecedented visual impact and conceptual input. In particular, the unique scanning line form breaks past paper-cutting routines in one fell swoop, introducing new elements and vitality into the palace of paper-cutting and engraving, thus enriching the types of paper-cutting.

Ingenious design is also a key reason for the emergence of these masterpieces. Since the main style used in his works is the scanning style, the production time requirements are very high. If you don't have enough time and patience, it may be difficult to complete a similar work.

The scanning style allows you to freely adjust the shadow locations and concentrations. Make adjustments so that your artwork looks freely spliced ??and combined in terms of shading. The final effect is also very amazing. It feels very much like it was carved from a woodblock print, with excellent visual effects.
