Paper Cut-outs

I simplified from the figure drawings and tried cutting out some shapes.  These ones were figures from movie posters.  I cut them out without drawing a guide-line first.  This made the task quite difficult to do without planning proportions first.

By cutting out these paper silhouettes, I learnt to look more closely at the outline of a picture before drawing it and that planning and thinking ahead whilst sketching can make the outcome much better and more accurate.

Here are some other paper cut-outs of animals that I tried but I drew them before I cut them out.
