A paper sculpture of Gaara from the manga/anime Naruto made as a part of a larger sculpture for my god son. His mother has conspired with me so I can make him a piece for his birthday in December. I’m making all of his favorite Naruto characters. He specifically identified Gaara as a child as one of his favorites. Naruto fans will note the lack of the sand marking (tattoo/scar) on his forehead, which is a good indicator of his age.
I’m really happy with this piece. I’m especially pleased by the appearance of depth from his chin to his neck to the collar of his shirt. Anime characters are always a little difficult to make in a straight on pose due to the lack of lines in the face. Generally, drawn lines can be represented as cuts and cuts help create depth in a piece by allowing the paper to be shaped. I wasn’t able to get as much shape in his face I would have liked, especially in his nose, but his face isn’t completely flat. 1 character down, 6 more to go. Gaara is made from Canson and Canford papers and measures about 3.5”x2.75” Naruto and Gaara are copyright Masashi Kishimoto. |

I am Pokemon #180 Flaaffy in DA's Pokemon Crew!

I'm digging the hair too. Particularly the off-placed underlayer of flesh-toned strands on the forehead. The subtle shading they provide help to make the hair less helmet-like and more natural. Well, as natural as you can get with hair like that.
Will the other characters be similar to this or will any be full figures from their head on down to their toes?
The shadows of his hair are pretty common in anime, so I can't take credit for knowing to put them there, just the execution of it.
All of the characters I am doing will be busts rather than full body poses.
