Getting it right!
Today's Doodles!
Use of a lightbox
Using a Light box Most definatly has its uses, I have used it to copy down the base of the Dino's markings on to the square paper my next move is to design the markings properly by colouring in the squares in pen and ink, crayon and paint so i can decide on my final look. From here I will be getting the image onto the computer to print of the designs onto paper thin enough to make the dinosaur out of!
The markings onto working paper for the colour proses. |
Use of the light box to get the exact positioning of the markings. |
The Start of the Remaking of the Origami Dino!
The redesigning of the origami dinosaur is prooving a challenge and a long winded one at that! I have started by remaking and remaking the dinosaur so i can get a feel for the shape, I have then started putting markings on him and playing arouund with colour so i can see where about on the starting square piece of paper the markings for the dinosaur will be. Below are samples of the making of the paper dino and the rough mark making

Origami Dinosaurs
I discoverd through this that u definatly need thin paper for origami, the thicker the paper the harder it is to achieve what it is you are building. below is proof of this, the brown thicker paper is very cumbersom and in the end the head was next to unachievable!
Diplidocus
The next book i used has proved to be much better and the designs are perfect i have throughly enjoyed playing around with my new herd of paper dino's!
My move from here will be to incorporate my own design into an origami dinosaur as i would very much like for it to be one of the things included into my interactive dinosaur book!
A starting Point
After numoras Brain storms I Decided that Discovering the ways of paper and paper folding would be a good place to start. So using a book on pop up designing i started to create ideas from the book. Here is my first attempt at a dragon!
I found i needed to use a heavier paper as sertain aspects of it were two week his wings should have been in a more up right position! .....But he did fold and do everything else i was hoping for him to do!
So i Have been playing around with pop up books and how the paper moves within the book
