I often get questions about the tools and materials I use in my paper art, so I thought it might be helpful to gather everything in one place.

I try to make it a habit of tracing my artworks once they are ready. Here I explain how I turn my papercuts into digital vector files.

I’d love to show you how I approach the papercut process—from where I start, to my thought process while sketching and cutting, and finally, how I paint the artwork black.

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.

A detailed step-by-step papercut tutorial based on my DTIYS art challenge example: from art planning and sketching ideas to fine cutting and final painting.

While the toolkit doesn’t define the final artwork, it's always interesting to see how the tools shape the process. Here, I list all the tools I am currently using.
