    Hey, just got really interested with this stuff, too bad it's illegal to spray on walls.
    anyways here is what I made today.
    Took an image from internet, then re-drawn from scratch as close as I could, photoshop involved but not that I used it to change levels or some crap like that, this is bit by bit re-drawn using basic shapes in photoshop, I am thinking of printing these out, cutting out black areas and spraying on a cardboard sheet to see what it looks like :)

    Anyways here is my first stencil drawings:

    Inspired by Gasmask Goliath and laws.

    Unfortunately quite a lot of what you have done there won’t work as a stencil. You have to make what are called bridges between any areas of white that are surrounded by the black areas you want to cut out. Take for example the garda’s hat. From the star in the centre you need a line of white coming from the star or when you cut out the black around it on the hat you will lose this detail. The same can be said for most of the facial details and a lot of other parts. Once you cut out the stencil and paint it you can then cover up the bridges afterwards.

    yeah I read about it few hours later after I made those, I am planning on re-designing them a bit.
