must take long to make all those stencils,, is there an easy way to get the stencils so accurate?

@ultimids Just time and patience. I'm experienced enough now that I'm able to cut 10 layers like this one in about a week. From creating the lines, to transferring them to the correct size, to cutting them, then spraying... it's usually about a 2-3 week process. Spraying only takes around 6 hours. If you are wondering about how I align them, I have little tricks to make sure they're good, like visual markers or something. Thanks for the kind comments, all. It is much appreciated!

@bennie628 I use an overhead projector. I draw my original layers on an overhead sheet, then use the overhead to blow the image up to whatever size I want. Then I draw lines for each individual layer on each piece of posterboard (or other material) and then cut them out. Hope that helped... DC.

@chrismchoi dude the big art of stencilling is the cutting process, its not easy and asks a lot of time. poser -.-
