During Maker Space Camp, I started serval things and finished some. One of my favorites I did was three shark mural. Now you can only see one in this picture but the three I made were of a Dusky shark, a Whale shark, and a scalloped hammerhead shark. I made these by drawing the picture on the Super Note and then exporting them to the computer. I made many other sharks but had to narrow it down to the three I knew I would be able to accomplish in the time given. After they were exported on to the computer I imported them on to Corel, and had to edit the bitmap to put the detail to the max. Then I had to make it a blue hairline and get rid of any details I didnt need or want to have on the finished product. After all of that was out of the way and the design was ready to print on the laser cutter, I had to get the wood. For the wood I just used a piece of General Soft Wood as big as the laser would fit. The longest one took to print was the whale shark which was around 7 minutes. After they were done printing I got out my supplies and started to paint. After it was all dry I used Posca Paint Pens for the eyes, spots, and outline. I then put the year at the top right corner and the type of shark at the bottom right corner and I was all done.
