Description
I made this tutorial for the , Variation 3, Theme 74: Tutorial.The idea came from another work that I was doing for the challenge, a drawing that I needed to copy to have a decent version. I decided to make the light table, and then came the tutorial...
¡En español!
Hice este tutorial para el Desafío de los 100 Temas.
La idea surgió de otro trabajo que estaba haciendo para el desafío, un dibujo que necesitaba calcar para tener una versión decente (son tantas las rayas que hago y tanto lo que cargo los lá
ices, que limpiar mis dibujos en Photoshop es un parto) .Es primera vez que hago algo de esta naturaleza... XD

Some say using a light table is cheating and not art
In my opinion all art is art no matter how you make it.
That is an clever idea and a good one!

Have you uploaded a photo of the light table somewhere? I would like to see it, please!!!

You're welcome, and no worries! (I'm a late commenter myself :] )
No, I haven't, and sadly I can't either, because my (stupid)brother thought that he could use it to play with, since I had cut holes in it ._. It didn't stay in one piece for much long >_>
I was angry >_>
If I ever get a new shoe box, I'll make a new one, and then I'll upload it 8D

Is it the light bright enough to work with watercolor paper ? This table would be useful for me 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess it would be better if you use a better flashlight, but I'm not sure, that paper is very thick. I don't have right now, so i can't try it myself. Let me know if you get a light strong enough for the watercolor paper...
By the way... real thanks for collecting!!!
Hope you're doin' well...

Ah, thank you very much for replying ! I've been reading a few discussions about light table and I decided to try with a neon lightning. I did a test and it was ok for my watercolor paper, so I think I'm gonna keep it 
No problem for collecting, it was really usefull

Comentario aparte: te quedó muy bonita la cajita...
De verdad que es muy útil. He sufrido muchas veces al querer calcar algo (como mapas mundiales para ciencias sociales) y justo, justo, se hace de noche y ya no puedo hacerlo toda incomoda abrazando mi ventana.

Tanto tiempo así?
Estoy estupendo, yendo a clases de pintura...flojeando. Aún me quedan unos días para despertar relativamente tarde y vivir mi vida con ocio y tranquilidad. xD
Y tú? Cómo estás?
La tendré en mente para cuando tenga que hacer algo así...ahora no sé si me consiga una buena linterna para eso.

Hola! Yo bien, recién volviendo a la vida real... Voy a empezar mi tesis y soy ayudante de un ramo... A pesar de todo, creo que este semestre será bastante relax...
Qué bueno lo de las clases de pintura... así te perfeccionas.
Suerte con todo!
Saludos!

Te sonará estupido, pero nunca se me había ocurrido hacer una pese a que la necesito. Un tutorial muy práctico!
He llegado a la conclusión de que el sentido de la vida son 42 cintas de enmascarar.

Gracias por comentarme ^^. La verdad, yo hace rato que la necesitaba y no se me ocurría, hasta que la urgencia de que mis dibujos originales quedaran bien copiados (cosa que tengo que hacer por mi problema con cargar los lá
Lo del sentido de la vida... lo averiguaré en cuanto tenga a mi haber los otros 41 rollos de cinta ^^.

This is actually pretty nice. 42 made me laugh out loud!

Thanks for your comment ^^ So you catched the sci-fi joke, I liked that...
I hope your husband at least accepts to build this table! XD
Good luck!

I got home from visiting family, and the light box was done!!

Wiii! So good that you have a lightbox now...
I saw the movie too, recommended by a friend. He also told me that there are 5 books of Hitchhiker's, like a saga... Is that true?
Hope you're still having a good time. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's true. But don't expect the book to be exactly like the movie. Here's the thing, Hitchhiker's started out as a radio series, and when Adams wrote it for the book, he substantially changed it for each release (the radio series is different from the English book release, which is different from the American release, which is different from the first movie release, which is different from the second movie release...). The American compilation book I have contains 5 stories: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", "Life, the Universe and Everything", "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish", and "Mostly Harmless". I might actually pick it up and read it again.
I definitely am. Reply or note me back and I will link you to ~gdoggordon 's deviation where he shows my light box (it isn't up on here yet)...

Wow, the guy is really a creative, changing the story all the time... I'll see what can I find up here...
Show me the lightbox!!! please!!!
I hope you're doing well ^^

I have a hard time editing my writing... I can't imagine going through and changing it all the time...
Anyway, we finally got pictures... and he finally sat down and uploaded it... Can you tell I've been bugging him to get it done?
TADA!!

I agree wholeheartedly
I shall try, but, right now, I'll just find any excuse to use it

Its not crappy! Thats actually really clever.
Though...I thought glass would be heavy? o.o though you could use pexiglass or something I guess. Neato!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for your comment and your suggestion! I used glass just because I had one in my house, but another material would make the table less heavy ^^
Hugs!

It looks so cute in the end! How can you say it's crappy? This might help me out in the future. I'll have to
