How to make a landscape shadowbox?

I received lots of questions about how I make my papercuts. So I made a detailed papercut tutorial video, where I show a step-by-step process of how I cut my paper artworks. I also talk about my technique, and show the tools I prefer to use.
Full papercut process
Sometimes the best way to learn is by seeing the entire process from start to finish. In this video, I walk you through the complete process of creating a papercut: from the initial draft sketch to tracing, detailed drawing, papercutting, and finally painting the artwork black.
