Welcome to Gaia! ::

I posted this in the art discussion forum, then I realized Im actually in a few art guilds, and I might actually get an intelegent response here <3

COPY/PASTE:

My problem? I dont know where to start! Ive seen some more primitive cardboard sculptures that appear to be made of cut-out triangles and a large ammount of hot-glue. I dont care for hot glue, but I assume I could use tape instead (I plan on covering it in paper mache anyhow)... but I dont know how well that'd hold.

Should I have some sort of wire-skeleton to apply the cardboard to, or would it be stable enough without? Is it possible to bend the cardboard into smooth curves like that, or is there some sort of trick?

If anyone has done this before, Id appreciate any advice you might have!
Thanks so much <3

Awesome, thanks! Thats already going to be helpful!
Im planning on making a scorpion. It might be too ambitious for my first go...
