The quality of a finished origami model depends not only on the design and technique of the model itself, but also greatly on the paper you use. Especially for beginners, not knowing which paper to choose can often become a stumbling block.
Paper is the most important factor in determining the quality of an origami work.
Even when folding the same model in the same way, simply changing the paper can dramatically affect both the ease of folding and the final appearance.
Learning to choose paper according to the model you want to fold and your intended outcome can be considered the first step toward becoming an origami artist.
When expressing animal horns, spikes, or sharp pointed forms in origami, it is important not only to achieve a sharp silhouette, but also to give the form convincing three-dimensional presence. Creating shapes that are not merely thin and pointed, but that clearly occupy space, greatly enhances the overall quality of a piece.
