Line portrait of my granddaughter

[Charlie E]

I’ve never done one of these as all I’d seen was a few celebrities and it didn’t seem worth the effort. I found a site called Spiral Betty where you can make your own patterns with lots of adjustments you can make like, orientation of lines, number of lines, contrast, etc. It didn’t turn out exactly as I’d envisioned but I’m thinking my granddaughter will like it.

That is pretty cool.  There has been someone posting lots of these styles.  I just did a quick search on Spiral Betty.  Can you post a link to the one you used, please.

Looks pretty good Charlie.

Found that the other day.   Got two patterns of dogs to do.  You did a very nice job.

Thanks. Not something I want to do again. Very tedious work with a so-so outcome. But I think she'll like it hanging in her room. Her 8th birthday is in a couple of weeks.

I had more fun playing with the program than the cutting.  I stack cut three and only the top one was usable. I used some 1/4” oak plywood that I had on hand which was not a good choice. The grain ruined the shadow effects of the cut lines so I had to put several coats of paint to hide the grain. It was a learning opportunity, just not sure I want to do it again to use what I learned.

That is pretty cool. Looks pretty fragile.

I don't really get it I imported a photo and got all the spiral rings. Now what do I do?

Click on lines and look for different adjustments.
