I learnt to fold cranes on a whim, and I got pretty good at it (I've also folded most of the basics). I'd like to make this my hobby, what should I do next? Any cool books? Any awesome models? Anything is appreciated
The best book for a beginner IMO is "Genuine Origami" by Jun Maekawa.
It has a lot of models from simple to complex.
My favorite designer is Hideo Komatsu. His book has a few easy models as well.
Another excellent book with really beautiful models is "Origami Essence" by Roman Diaz. Also, must try designers are Robert Lang and Satoshi Kamiya.
Op here
Thanks y'all
