Make it in TelegramDepth comes from shadows
Papercraft only looks real when each layer casts a small shadow on the next. Ask for clean cut edges, a slight paper grain and three colors in total. Faces cut from paper are simple, so describe a few bold features instead of fine detail. If the scene feels flat, rerun with 'stronger shadows between layers, deeper box, light from the top left'. A moon or sun behind your head makes a natural halo.
Build it for real
The generated picture can serve as a design sketch for a real shadow box. Cut each layer from card, glue them on thin foam spacers and keep the same order as in the image. Craft shops sell frames with a deep rim for this purpose. As a print, it also works well as a greeting card. The result is an illustration of the style, so mention that if you sell finished pieces.
Tips
- Ask for five or six depth layers.
- Limit the palette to three colors.
- Mention soft drop shadows.
- Order a square crop for a shadow box.
