WHAT THE HECK IS A PAPER CHILD?! - Bringing My Art To Life

"Paper Child" or... children...? Either way, illustrations of characters that are cut out and seem to interact with the real world! It's not a new concept, but it's always been something I wanted to try! Once I made one I couldn't stop... these li'l guys are so cute!

“Is that a human or an animal?”

Imagine walking in the middle of the woods with no one around, and then just seeing this little school of paper people

I actually jumped when you said "I know what you guys are thinking" because I was just vibing with the calm music and then you suddenly talking scared the living heck outta me

"Is that a person coming or is that an animal?"
Me, every time I leave my room

[Dorkyzzz]

"paper children" are actually one of my introductions to taking art more seriously than just doodles, as well as actually making an original character that eventually developed into my fursona of about 7 years now !!

[whateverisayisinvalidyea]

ok but like... are we ignoring the cinematography? it’s so incredible!

[patriciarevajova]

Paper children always remind me of when I was a kid. In Denmark, it has been a tradition around Christmas to make or print "Kravle nisser" (google it for photos :D ) which is translated roughly to Crawling elves.
Kravle nisser was invented by Frederik Bramming in 1947. They are small elves dressed more in the Scandinavian style. You cut them out, and they got small flaps that you bend so you can tape them on shelves or on top of your tv, etc. etc. They are usually drawn in poses where they hang from the edge, sleep on the edge, or other fun stuff. Some also hang with another Elf dangling from their leg, or their pants (So you can see their butt :P) and some wrap gifts etc. It is an easy and fun kid's activity here, as they get to pick the spots for the elves normally etc. (Ps. I am not saying that Frederik Bramming invented paper children, just that I love how the concept is so similar to what I have culturally grown up with ^^ I can deffo recommend googling Kravle nisser :D they are super cute usually)
