The Origami Forum

Hi, my name is Chris and I am a Canadian folder. I have a copy of Joisel's diagrams (picked up in Tokyo) for his basic face, which ends up looking like something from Rossell. I have noticed that the majority of the superior faces have a seam in the middle.


For the life of me, and after numerous attempts, I still can not manage to duplicate the results others have achieved in their attempts to make realistic faces. I have a hard time visualizing the required folds. Is there anyone out there willing to meet up with me on MSN (hopefully with video chat) and coach me through making a not so simple face? I would say that I am a somewhat high-intermediate folder, so you won't spend the time teaching basic folds.

Eagerly awaiting a positive reply,
Chris.

I myself am not into origami faces, but you might want to read the following thread to get some inspiration and tips

Thanks for the suggestion. The thread was interesting yet it did not really address my needs. I guess I will just keep on searching for someone to help me out. BTW, this is not a request for diagrams. Just assistance.

Hello,

The only person who I am aware of who may be able to help is Annie; she has a website which focuses largely on Joisel-type faces.

Maybe if you tried contacting Annie she may be able to share some tips?
