CUTTING TOOLS
The most important thing is choosing the right cutting tool for the job. Using improper tools—like cutting paper with scissors that are broken or dull or using scissors that are too big for your hand—can lead to mistakes and/or physical fatigue over time. This may seem relatively unimportant in the short-term, but it can lead to poor creative results if unchecked.
If you are working on a small technical area of your picture that requires tiny cuts in the paper, use small scissors or a craft knife to make the fine detailing look sharp. When doing bulk cutting or working with thicker paper, use heavier scissors.
