How to make a lightbox

Description

In my first ever tutorial, I show you how to make a lightbox by stealing doors off Ikea furniture.

The end.





But for serious. I decided the quickest way to ink my Generation comic was traditionally, but I figured we would have some perspex laying around to use (actually, my first idea was to use my scanner bed. THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA. RIGHT? BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS TOTALLY ALWAYS ON)

But we didn't have any, so I was like... "Fuck, man. What's some hard transparent thing I can use?"

And there it was, like a beacon. Motherfucking Ikea furniture to the rescue. So I popped the door off one of our cabinets (Very easy, being Ikea furniture and all; you just have to lift it). Get a lamp, and presto. Instant lightbox with a lipped edge to keep your pages in place.

Inking done with a sepia Copic nib pen, Copic E71 'Champagne', and I-C comic paper
