For artist Karishma Chugani, the art of paper cutting is a way of connecting with a more intuitive sense of creativity. She believes that playing with paper cutting techniques–both inside and outside the sketchbook–helps reduce the fear of the blank page and discover a place filled with inspiring possibilities.
Learn Karishma’s entire creative process when developing an illustrated book for children. See how to use your sketchbook to explore ideas and play with a series of cutting and folding techniques to then create a dummy of your first papercut picturebook, ready to share with publishers.
This is Karishma’s third course on Domestika. If you would like to further explore the world of paper cutting, go to Paper Cutting Techniques for Storytelling. If you’d like to explore illustration techniques to develop your creative process, go to: Inside a Creative Notebook: Explore Your Illustration Process.
Description
Meet Karishma and discover the most important moments in her artistic career. Delve into her inspiring artistic influences and see interesting paper formats for books and toys.
Learn about the importance of creating a toolbox that grows along with your skills. Explore Karishma’s sketchbooks to visualize her entire creative process and take a look at her sketchbook manual to understand her method. Begin playing with an idea for a story by using just three elements, creating a quick paper cut format for each. Then, start your own paper playground. Have fun with simple cutting formats and explore a naif method of expression.
Discover different book formats and see how each one offers its own distinct narrative. Develop your narrative from nighttime to daytime with basic cuts and folds for your first dummy. Then, create your pop-up accordion book and your tunnel book sample.
Hear Karshima’s advice on how to publish your book by looking at a series of options. Finish the course by seeing more references to awaken your curiosity to keep looking, learning, and making.
