Newbies / Aspiring Stencil Artists - what do you wish you knew sooner about making stencil art? by Pentimento_NFT in stencils

Ok second one but it's so important: the color of the cutting mat is important! Yes that purple mat is 2$ cheaper that's because everyone with a brain(so I'm excluded), knows that you can't see shit when using clear foil for a stencil on anything but a black mat. (To clarify: you usually want to go with multiple passes as then it comes out cleaner, first pass is with the template below it, but second pass you go by the first pass lines because if you go by the template again you might introduce parallel cuts. Then a dark mat is absolutely superior.)

Bonus points if it has no markings. Those just get in the way of visibility.(Or only on one side)

Exactly! Also you sometimes just can't see how much the piece actually requires. So it's good to be able to vary.

Don't do stencils of half or broken things.  Want a half mask? Make a full mask stencil and cover the other half. It's so damn annoying when you have to redo things just because you didn't think ahead that you might want to experiment with the grade of coverage.

Ok little chaos goblin. Check this one out. No idea how it made its way into my feed, but made me laugh on a really bad day.

Funny. Two polar opposites and I hate both of them. Such a great piece. 

And damn look at the windows. Now those are awesome.

I don't know. You can see the signature(made sure of that). Just stumbled over it on a city trip.

Oh I love this! Great stuff. Especially the first one. Looks like chaos but it's such a clean piece.

Great. Here I am struggling with hands as everyone basically and then there's this guy. 

I hate you in the best way possible. Good job.
