I'm a beginner stenciler. Great tips, especially the cutting out part of small outlines. I was going to buy a stencil burner pen but I think I've changed my mind. You make it all look so easy. Thanks for the video.
These videos are great for people just starting(and longtime stencil artists). When I started I'm not sure TH-cam was even a thing yet. A lot of artists are protective of their methods but I don't see the point. Share the knowledge. Keep up the great work.
I like your tips, it shows that you have a lot of practice. For those interested in discovering an ancient stencil tradition, just do a search in an online bookstore for JAPANESE STENCILS. They have done fabric dyeing with stenciled designs for centuries and have a complete mastery of all the specific difficulties of stencil design. There are inexpensive, royalty-free books of such stencils showing repeating patterns of natural themes, all beautiful. One particularity of Japanese stencils is how they use bridges as a decorative feature. Another is that hey also reinforce the empty spaces with a wide-mesh silk gauze which allows them to cut very thin, narrow details that seem to hang in the void but are in fact resting on the gauze.
Extremely new to this so bare with me. What are the pro's and con's with HP spray paints and LP? If you have something that you want to white wash or fade in to the background can you use a can of white from a far distance and mist it or is there a better way? Thanks Andre
So what gsm paper would you go up to before it would be too hard, or just annoying to cut? 150gsm? 200gsm? would probably make a better stencil than 80gsm stuff??
whats the name of your gooseneck light/where purchased it's exactly what I have been looking for. Looks like you plug a usb into the light, instead of how others are made.
Can you please give me some advice on image stencil. What I meant was, I plan on making candles on catholic saints and want the images on the glass. Can I use a drawing and cut it out? Thanks
Hey dude, thank you for spreading all the knowledge! You've helped me out alot! A word of knowledge that I learned that you might not know us that you can buy off brand #11 blades that work just as good as X-acto but are MUCH cheaper. I buy packs of 100 for like $15 at Carter Sexton which is just an art store. I'm sure they are other places too,. Hope I helped!
Hey I'm new here to the channel and the hobby and on the x-acto blades you only really cut with the tip so as it dulls out needle nose pliers can be used to snap off the tip and you have a fesh blade. Anyways works for me. Great video.
Thanks for all this info man, really awesome. Can you please make video about making stencils on computer and what type of images can be used to make stencils, because I when making them on computer can't make it those like you made. You are awesome I know that but still if you can make a little awesome too. :P
Yo dude this is awesome I'm in the middle. I'm making stencils to stencil faceplates for modular synthesiszers and electronic gear so ideally yea I would like to be able to spray em over like 50 times? Any advice on that? (Totally understand where your coming from in your world of not surviving the same one over and over)
It's more to protect the surface underneath, you don't want knife marks in your kitchen table or your desk or whatever. Just something to make sure you get a nice flat cut without ruining anything else.
whenever i am cutting a very thin piece of paper from a stencil, it will always lift and when i spray on it there will be a lot of shadow behind it, what do i do?
Spray adhesive. And for extra help, put a few nuts/bolts or pennies to weigh down vulnerable areas. Or wear gloves and hold downs the spots you are spraying...
how about you make a video with every single step.. like a fast pace video. from you cutting to you laying everything out.. even when you spray the adhesive onto the stencils.. just a thought... a detailed video..

Thanks a lot I am excited to try all this. I need to get an x-acto knife first
Great stuff man. Really informative and lots of videos. Do you just make all the layers in photoshop then print them on regular paper taped together?
likely one of the more complex stencils ever. The average person would likely not see this level of difficulty for some time. Great vid!
i likely think you likely used too many likelys in that likely sentence
Very well explained. Thanks for sharing...✌
THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD MAN YOU GOT A NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE!!! AN ENJOYABLE WATCH!!!
What kind of printer you recommend for large size stencils ?
Extremely new to this so bare with me. What are the pro's and con's with HP spray paints and LP? If you have something that you want to white wash or fade in to the background can you use a can of white from a far distance and mist it or is there a better way?

So what gsm paper would you go up to before it would be too hard, or just annoying to cut? 150gsm? 200gsm? would probably make a better stencil than 80gsm stuff??
I have a question. the paper that you use is a "normal one" like the really thin paper ? or not as much as im thinking....
whats the name of your gooseneck light/where purchased it's exactly what I have been looking for. Looks like you plug a usb into the light, instead of how others are made.
Great vid! Thank you!
what kind of paper do you use for the stencil or is it plastic
are you just using regular paper? what kind of paper? thanks for the vid man!
Can you please give me some advice on image stencil. What I meant was, I plan on making candles on catholic saints and want the images on the glass. Can I use a drawing and cut it out? Thanks
What type of paper do you use?
I understand that the bridges are for support. Do you cut the bridges out before painting? What exactly do you do..? Thanks.
Thanks for the Tips man
Do you computer render your stencils, or do you draw the stencil out and scan it to make it bigger? Awesome job!
can i ask you, what s type of paper is these one what you use in your video thnx for answer
Gracias, maestro.

Hey dude, thank you for spreading all the knowledge! You've helped me out alot!

I buy packs of 100 for like $15 at Carter Sexton which is just an art store. I'm sure they are other places too,. Hope I helped!
how long did it take you to cut out this entire stencil?
I'm trying to use stencil paper, which isn't think. Any advice?
are you just using like normal paper you buy at the store?
Right now i'm using stencil adhesive to glue my stencil to stencil paper. Is just using the paper easier?
Dope!!
Hey I'm new here to the channel and the hobby and on the x-acto blades you only really cut with the tip so as it dulls out needle nose pliers can be used to snap off the tip and you have a fesh blade. Anyways works for me. Great video.

Where do you sell your paintings?
leather cutting mats work great
I use lamination sheets for drawing on and cutting out
I don't like detailed small sections on stencils because the thin shaped get over sprayed
doesnt' your hand start to cramp after doing so much cutting? mine goes nutts..
but a card maker and I love stencils and stamps...oh my
what is the benefit of using a stencil cutting board? does it break your blades if you go too deep?
It's more to protect the surface underneath, you don't want knife marks in your kitchen table or your desk or whatever. Just something to make sure you get a nice flat cut without ruining anything else.
How long would you say it takes you to cut out a stencil like this?
hours
What about making your own stencil?
whenever i am cutting a very thin piece of paper from a stencil, it will always lift and when i spray on it there will be a lot of shadow behind it, what do i do?
Spray adhesive. And for extra help, put a few nuts/bolts or pennies to weigh down vulnerable areas. Or wear gloves and hold downs the spots you are spraying...
Pallet knife to hold edges down.
I can't explain bridging. I will sound like an idiot.....proceeds to explain it perfectly
I really need to get an xacto. Using a box-cutter is a fucking nightmare.

i prefer to use a scalpel blade as its really precise and sharp
no burner?
