I created this design on 28 May 2021. It's my first figurative origami design.
I was sitting on the beach and my friend was swimming. I looked at the sea and thought "Why not?" It's not perfect but it give the feeling of the movement. That's even surprising because I created it in ten minutes or so.
As I was taking photos, I realized that it wasn't as easy as the geometrical ones. But I'll give it a try anyway. (They are also reminders for me.)
It can be used as a bookmark, too! I tried to change the color so that the man could really seem to swim. But then it was no longer a bookmark. So, I left the variation aside for now.
How to fold the Swimming Man
Step 1
Fold the square paper in half on both sides.
Step 2
Fold both diagonals.
Fold one corner as if you are folding an octagon.
Turn the paper back. Fold the line shown.
Turn the paper over. It will look like that.
Fold the side of the paper inside as shown.
Fold the other side inside, too. Don't fold too hard. We'll work on both sides. There you see what's going to be the head.
Fold a layer down to the line and aline three layers at the bottom.
Fold the left part behind the "head".
See the shape that will be the second arm. Don't flatten the paper yet.
Fold the back of the arm as shown.
Fold the arm back.
We'll shape the bottom part. First fold the right side in.
Then fold the middle part in.
You have the basic man now. Turn the paper over.
Fold the back of the left arm as shown so that it becomes thinner.
Turn the paper over again.
Fold the left arm a little as shown. Now the figure is swimming.
Shape the head from the sides and the top. Don't forget that it should point towards the "sea".
Fold the left side back as shown, if you want to use it as a bookmark.
If you fold the Swimming Man and share it on Instagram or Facebook, please don't forget to tag @origamidekor!
