How to Become an Expert at Origami

I have been a huge fan of origami for most of my life. For probably about 20 years now I have been creating origami models and by now I've gotten decently good at it. Nevertheless I almost feel as if my skill level has plateaued and I've stopped getting better.

I'd say I'm at around an average skill level when compared to the awesome models I've witnessed on the Internet created utilizing origami. I'm unquestionably interested in getting better but apart from just folding more models and possibly trying to fold more challenging models, I was always kind of at a loss as to how get better.

After performing some Internet research and asking several people who are a lot better at origami than I am I've come up with some good advice that I would like to share with you about how to boost your origami technique.

An excellent way to learn more about the art is to meet other origami artists in real life to learn from them and to fold things with them. Origami conventions are a wonderful place to meet other gifted artists.

It's possible to also try folding various types of different models. As an alternative to folding only animals for instance try folding dissimilar things like shapes, modular models and tessellations.

Paper of course also plays a big role in origami. Try various different kinds of paper and utilize the paper to fold various kinds of models. Soon you will learn what kinds of paper work better for you or for different kinds of models.

Another awesome suggestion that works great for all kinds of things, not just origami, is to try to fold something much more difficult than you're used to. Work with it for a while and even if you are unable to fold the more complicated model, when you come back to the more or less easier things you were trying to fold before, they will seem much easier.

If you're interested in endeavoring to design your own origami models then folding a great deal of models using crease patterns rather than diagrams is definitely going to be a huge help. Pay extra close attention to each fold and try to understand why it's there.

Folding as many models as possible from various kinds of designers will also enable you to see how each designer produces similar elements in another way. Breaking down a model into smaller sections like heads and limbs for instance can not only make it easier to see how to form each section but also how each segment of the model fits into the larger unit.

And naturally there's always practice. Fold as many models as you can, fold frequently and don't be afraid to ask someone for assistance. There are tons of proficient origami artists on the Internet who are rather friendly and willing to help you if you ask them pleasantly.
