You got it right on, its just Spider-Man 2009 You can see where it fell through as I was carving.
ITs just that corner that drove me nuts. (I fault myself for cutting out his eyes and working around the web however).
Zombie Pumpkins! wrote:I know with the Spider-Man pattern, I tried to simplify the webbing pattern on his face. Looking at several reference photos, I realized that he often had so many thin lines. So I asked myself... how can I reduce the number of webbing lines (and make them thicker) and have it still look like Spider-Man? That's the goal with most of my patterns. Simplify the details to the point that they are easily carvable, but still look like the intended character.
Another factor in carving difficulty is how organic the design is. If the design is of a natural creature with organic shapes, the carve is more forgiving. If you change the shapes slightly, it doesn't hurt the look of the characters. Meanwhile, designs with straight lines can be tougher because if those lines aren't just right, then it becomes more obvious that you didn't quite follow the lines when carving.
Also, 2D cartoon characters can be tricky. They are usually made up of thin outlines, and it's fairly easy to break those when carving.
