Dashes-----&........Dots

[papart1]

well I must be advancing, I'm asking questions here. When cutting dots and dashes in orientation to the image, are the dots and dashes cut in the direction of flow and form of the subject please? And does depth of dots make a difference in final view perception? thanks paps

for me, the depth makes a real difference. if cut evenly, not sure it would clash with the flow either way. just my limited experience. if you get tails going the wrong way, simply recut lightly in the opposed direction.
