After being inspired by Hari and Deepti light box art I decided to make some cut paper light boxes and put together three tutorials, one advanced, one intermediate and one easy for you all!

TwinkieBuddy :D Thank you! I'm kind of bummed because in the Princess Mononoke one I cut out a few little forest spirit dudes in the branches, but you couldn't really see them that much after I assembled the whole thing. Oh well! I still love how it turned out :) Thanks for checking out my video! I'd love to see how yours turn out if you end up making some! :D

Also I noticed your tattoo and I'm assuming you're Filipino too?! :O are you full or mixed? I am half Filipino and Dutch! Haha anyway you have a fan!

@chezlin 7 жыл бұрын

Ahh thanks!! Honestly I don't think we sound the same... but that's a compliment to you because I hate the sound of my voice haha. I'm glad that that person connected us though! My husband and I have been watching some of your videos, and when we get home from this mini vacation I'm totally going to go and properly binge watch ;) I love your artwork! And yes, I'm Filipino :D Half Filipino and half French... but my dads side has been in the US for so long I usually keep it super generic and just say 'white.' 💚

@JacquelinDeleonart 7 жыл бұрын

yeah I didn't think so either but I'm glad they mentioned you hahaha. Oh wow that's so awesome! I am a bit french too, same here I usually say white but it feels weird sometimes haha. Does everyone assume you are hispanic because I definitely get that all the time. Anyway, I'm so happy to find other Filipino /mixed race creators :D

@chezlin 7 жыл бұрын

Yup, especially since I grew up in Texas. I used to be known as "That Mexican girl who can draw!" And now-a-days I'll get older Hispanic gentlemen randomly trying to make conversation with me in Spanish and when I say I can't speak Spanish they give me a look like 'How dare you not know the language of your people' But it's not even my people's language 😩 (But I still can't speak the language of my people either! 😭)

I'd be lying if I said I'd never use/need a Cricut, but honestly, I simply like to do most things by hand. Call me old fashioned I guess. So that's why I really appreciated your tutorials - and not just one, but 3 to include different skill levels! Yes! It's so refreshing to see your video amongst the hundreds, even thousands(?) of DIY shadow light box videos using a machine. Just know your work is greatly appreciated - and thank you!

If you can't be bothered to cut out the design...do the design in Photoshop ( or other editing program ) in black and white and to whatever size you like...then print it out on tracing paper...job done.

@Tunanunaa 7 жыл бұрын

What order do the layers on the spirited away one go in? 1-8 or 8-1? (I think it's 1-8 but I thought I should double check before I get ahead of myself.)

@chezlin 7 жыл бұрын

The one with the dragon is in the very back... so I believe it's 1 to 8? It should make sense when you start piecing it together :) And you can also do a dry fit (just stack the cut layers on top of each other) first to make sure you have them in the right order and then start gluing ~

@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss 7 жыл бұрын

+chezlin (it doesn't really matter which way you glue it because you can invert it in the end right? XD

@Chemeleon15 7 жыл бұрын

derek xiao Nope, the spirited away version has too many "solid" layers that would block certain details from other layers if inverted. Also the closer something is to the light, the more faded/transparent it is and vice-versa . If the dragon sheet was in front it would be completely black except for the dragon cut-out.
