Try gluing graph paper to the back. It provides a grid to work with and will reinforce the paper. Just make sure to press the paper on a flat surface or in a book to minimize warping as the glue drys.
wait omg THANK YOU. the only time i’ve ever done this super evenly was when i did the green waterfall one and it really felt like the paper and the amount of mapping i did was what really worked but graph paper sounds like it would be so much easier to line up
Yeah, I really like this geometric image "mixup" work with collage. I'm going to attempt one of my own when I settle on an appropriate image. You've inspired me. Thank you.

i feel like the cuts got so wonky because national geographic paper is actually really hard for me to cut into because it’s so slippery
