Origami Narwhal

Inspired by my recent exploration into arctic marine mammals. This model is folded from a 12″ square of Canson. The tusk is produced from opposite side of the sheet as the rest of the model, so if I’d used a two-color sheet the tusk would be white and the body colored (same with my Walrus). I used an all-white sheet however, because I like the sculptablitly of the thicker sheet. I’m thinking of producing another model and painting one side of the paper with grey watercolors. It should produce a nice effect, but I’m concerned if I’ll be able to wetfold it later or if I’ll have to do the painting and folding all at once. Well I guess we’ll find out when I try it.
