Stencil work
    #7144016 -

I've kind of been getting into stencils lately but I haven't really gotten good at making them yet. I'm trying to make this one of a groundhog standing up like this. I get how to alter the contrast/brightness/color field to get a nice black and white image, the thing about this picture though is the fur is so detailed. I don't know what to do to simplify the design so it's something that can be cut out by hand but still easily recognizable for what it is. Any tips?

I believe in photoshop theres a way to pasteurize a photo into as many colors as you want. All you need to do is set it to two and render it. It wont be in black and white, but it will be in two colors. Id say cut the chipmunk out of there so it doesnt render it green and brown. And then do all the editing needed so that one stencil doesnt break down into 50 small stencils.

you could also try a paint daub filter to make it a more simplified picture before you mess with the contrast then cutout filter.

or you could just do what my girlfriend does and do the whole damn thing by hand.  :smirk:

This is what I could do. I'm only using paint shop though.

LAGraff I've been looking around their site for the past week or so, I looked over their tutorials real quick but right now that section is down.

I'm working with GIMP instead of Photoshop. Idiot that sounds like the kind of thing I'm trying to do but I don't know how to do anything like that in GIMP. Jonom do you have any idea on how I could do that in GIMP?

I get the process of making something into a stencil in GIMP. I guess what my question is more like "How do I make a stencil suitable to be cut out by hand?". Even in those tutorials look at the final images, they'd be nearly impossible to cut out by hand.

most people just prepare an image to use as a guide. take that shit... glue it to some plastic and start cutting. you have to be a little artistic to do stencils... it's not always a breeze.

Before attempting to work with this image, I'd first try to find one with more dramatic lighting. The best stencils in my opinion are the ones that are able to be recognized easily, even if they're not very detailed. I doubt that you would be able to do that with a stencil based off this picture. You could still create a pretty contrast-y picture as a base for a stencil even with the image you posted, but you'd have better luck finding a different image. Hope this helps.

You also only want to work with very very large photos to start with I find the med in google search to be to small then make it like 12000by120000 and you will have nice crisp lines still after you have digitalized the mess out of it.

Well I've got a couple other things I wanted to try so I guess I'll just start off with some easier stuff like you said, and then maybe I can come back to this sometime later. Thanks for the help everybody. Have any of you done any stencil work before, I'd love to see it if you have.

Alright here's something I did a little work on today. I think I did a pretty good job and if I decide to print and cut it I don't think it'll be too difficult. If somebody can tell me who it is then I'll be happy with it. Let me know what you think.
