In paper projects, the drawing function is performed by a circuit or a thorough algorithm for assembling individual parts into one. When building a realistic paper machine model, scaling the components and the order of their merging are of paramount importance, we cannot do without a detailed guide. The papier-mâché sculpture only requires the shape you want to create. In sketchbooking, it is better to use a combination of a template and creative fiction.
