I used the Creality Falcon 2 22W laser engraver to cut a four-layer Daredevil stencil on 120# cardstock and finished it with spray paint for a bold street-art style. This project is inspired by the Charlie Cox Netflix Daredevil series and shows every step, from laser settings to layering and painting. I’ve also made stencil art of Captain America with Thor’s hammer, Spider-Man, Captain Marvel, and a Spider-Man/Venom mix — but this Daredevil piece is a new favorite.
I recently made a four-layer Daredevil stencil using my Creality Falcon 2 22W laser engraver and 120# cardstock. The design is based on the live-action Daredevil image from the Charlie Cox Netflix series. After cutting, I layered everything together with spray paint to give it bold, street-art vibes.
This project was personal. My daughter Stella has been reading Daredevil comics and watching the Netflix show, and she’s a big fan. I wanted to make something just for her — a piece that felt like it really captured the look and mood of the character. I’ve created plenty of stencil graffiti-style canvas art before, but this one stood out because of who it was for.
Laser Settings I Used
Material: 120# cardstock Power: 80% Speed: 4000 mm/min Passes: 2
Getting the settings right took some experimenting. Too much power burns through the cardstock, and too little leaves cuts incomplete. Once I dialed it in, the Falcon 2 sliced through the details cleanly, leaving edges that were sharp enough to handle multiple layers.
Painting and Assembly
After cutting, I used spray paint to bring the layers together. Each stencil added another level of detail, from shadowing to highlights, until Daredevil’s full look appeared. Stella’s reaction made the whole effort worth it — she said it really captured Daredevil’s essence.
👉 Tip: Spray in light passes. Don’t soak the stencil. This keeps cardstock from warping and keeps your edges crisp.
Other Stencil Projects I’ve Made
Daredevil isn’t the only Marvel-inspired piece I’ve done. Over time, I’ve created stencil artworks for my kids, including:
Captain America holding Thor’s hammer A Spider-Man logo Captain Marvel A mix of Spider-Man and Venom
Each project gives me a chance to experiment with layering, shading, and spray techniques. I don’t sell these or make them for anyone else — they’re just for my kids. Seeing their excitement when a new canvas comes together is the best payoff.
Why Try Layered Stencil Art?
It adds depth compared to a single stencil. You can experiment with shading and color. Works for fan art, wall art, or custom décor. Makes a unique and personal gift.
The Falcon 2 22W is ideal for this kind of work. It has the power to cut thicker cardstock but is precise enough to keep the smallest details intact.
