Step Two Use image editing software (Photoshop, Procreate App etc) to resize image as required and then remove the background.
Step Three Duplicate the image on to a new layer and isolate the highlights. Repeat this step to create a layer for the mid tones and then the shadows. Print off individual layers.
Step Four Place graphite paper and image on top of Ezy Cut Stencil Paper and secure with masking tape. Trace over the areas of the image to cut out.
Step Five Check that the lines are tracing through to the Ezy Cut Stencil Paper.
Step Six Create “bridges” on the Ezy Cut Stencil Paper to make sure areas of the stencil do not fall out.
Step Seven Use a stencil knife to cut out the stencil. Make sure your other hand is always in front of the cutting hand. Cut out all layers of your stencil – Highlights, mid tones and shadows.
