Description
Papercraft Sakura! I tried to use fairly different patterns from theΒ previous time I made her , which was a fun exercise. (Still used several sakura-patterned papers, though, because of course.) This one sold at Anime Midwest back in July.Related content

She's Sakura, the protagonist of CLAMP's "Cardcaptor Sakura" series! It's a really cute series. ^_^

I looked it up on MAL. It looks quite old school - I prefer your version, although I'll probably give the series a watch.

Haha, it's a bit old by this point, but it's a classic! The sequel series is also currently airing, and it looks gorgeous.

Perfect paper for her. ^^ The ribbons are a particularly lovely combination of colours. She has such a bright expression! <3

You're very sweet! Thank you!

Thank you! It's always fun to make the same piece with different patterns and see how the feel of the results differ. ^_^

They combination of patterns works well for both versions.

No, I can't have hit a thousand yet. Hundreds, then.

Haha, I guess so! A good chunk of my apartment is taken up by my paper stash.

Do you usually buy bigger sized paper? Like A2?
π: 0 β©: 1
I have all kinds of sizes! A lot are A2-sized, since that can be found in a lot of specialty stores, but they run the gamut from larger than that down to some that are only a few inches square. Β

That sounds nice! I kind of collect craft paper but never do anything with it - I'm always afraid I'll ruin the paper.

Aww, try it! Papercraft is super fun!

I'm actually working on something papercrafty right now! Thanks for the tip with mock-ups, that's what I'm doing and it's working very well.

Ooh, that's awesome! I'm so glad it helped!

Can I ask what kind of glue you're using? I only have liquid glue right now but I'm a bit afraid that it'd seep through the paper or squish out on the sides

I use paper cement and rubber cement - whichever is on sale at the nearby art supply store. (I know there must be some sort of difference between them, but I've never honestly never noticed much of one.) They both dry flexible and nearly clear, which is helpful if you don't want any glue to be visible on your final piece, and excess glue can also be carefully peeled off the piece once you're done. On the downside, they can yellow with age and stain the paper unless you keep the final piece airtight.
Good luck!

I've never heard of that kind of glue. 
Thanks for the help!
This might be a weird question, but do you have a FAQ somewhere?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm glad you found a good transparent glue!And good luck on your upcoming papercraft work; that's so exciting!
I don't have an FAQ, per se, but I do have the "askbox" tag on my tumblr -->[yutaan.tumblr.com/tagged/askboβ¦ I tend to get similar questions a lot, so I suppose that's sort of like an FAQ.Β

Thank you! It's super exciting to experiment with papercrafting; I think I caught the papercrafting bug.
Thanks for the link, going through the tag has been very helpful!

Awesome! I hope you have a great time crafting! ^_^

Oh gosh, I'm not even sure at this point.... Hundreds, if not over a thousand.

OOOH no wonder I feel like I've seen this before x'D I REALLY like the hair pattern
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! I'm fond of that one too - it's so versatile!

Thanks! I tried a slightly new thing with the eyes, and it was fun to experiment a bit.

I'm not sure which Sakura I like better! I feel like the gold in her hair from the previous piece gives her more depth, while she seems a little more flat in this one, but I do love the patterns for clothing more. Great work!

Haha, thank you! I like different things about them both, but they were both really fun to make, which is what matters most.

i think both versions are really good : )

Thank you! I like different things about them both. Drawing Sakura is always fun, after all! ^_^
