SO, as the responsible adult I am, I just spent the last two and a half hours working on my House Stark tank instead of doing my homework. I was going to attempt to do layers. The first and whitest would have been the eye and teeth, the second would have been the inside space, and the last would have been the outline. It would have been *awesome* and challenging, but after a very failed first layer that bled waaay to far under the outline, I think it's safe to say this week's attempt was a failure. I still finished the rest of it with just outlines, and it would have been awesome if I had just done that in the first place. My mistake was spraying too much bleach, I think. Next time I will attempt to use a thinner solution in smaller amounts for layers, and be sure to blot the excess sooner. Or just do an outline; I haven't decided yet.
This is the stencil that I used, hand traced from the original image to be easier to use. It took forever, but I believe this method is well worth using. It eliminates clutter and color distractions, making it easier to cut only what you want to cut.
And the failure. I am reasonably pleased with how the rest turned out, though, so I may just end up doing that. I *do* want to learn how to do effective layers, though.
In other news, I have now successfully completed a 20 mile walk, and it was amazing. Perhaps, though, it is time to get to that homework before I pass out...
