As we’re arranging a kids’ party in the near future, I’ve gotten a very festive mission.
The theme of the party is woodland creatures, and I’ve been asked to draw up some cartoonish creatures to go with the table decorations.
So I drew up some outlines with a pencil, went over my favourite ones with a pen and added some colour to them using my pro markers.
Some of the creatures I’m quite happy with, and some I don’t like at all. But I’ve been told that they look good enough, so I guess I should settle with that.
Anyway, I drew up the creatures on a marker pad, glued them to a thicker cardboard paper and cut them out with a scissor.
I made seven in total, and this is how they looked ( I used a reference photo from google by the way):
Oh they are so cute!!
Great job!
Thank you! ☺ I’m quite happy with some of them, and hope they do a good job as decorations ☺
Fantastic work! Great job of singling out the key features to create clear bold characters.
Thank you, Phil!☺
What fun….. They look terrific!
Thank you, Anna ☺ It was quite fun making them ☺
I think they are adorable! Have fun at the party. 🙂
Thank you, Judith ☺ And thank you for following ☺
I started my art journey in June of 2015, so I enjoy getting to know others who are pursuing art. I’m glad I found your blog. I think your drawings and paintings are very good.
Thank you very much! I also started out in the summer of 2015, and have been hooked ever since 🙂
I really never thought I could ever learn to draw. I figured I’d give up after a week or two of trying. Instead, here I am three years later, drawing, painting, entering art shows, and becoming a part of the arts community in our area. It really has been an exciting and rewarding journey.
That sounds very familiar! 🙂 I’ve very recently taken part in my local community painting club, and are planning to soon show of some of my paintings for the very first time 🙂
Good luck! As a member of the art club, I not only entered the show, I also helped with all the behind-the-scenes work — learning how to check paintings in, how to set up the displays, keeping records of the entries — and it was a very enjoyable experience. I also monitored the show on two different mornings. That was fun, too. I was very hesitant about joining art clubs, and for a time I felt a little intimidated by all the talent surrounding me. Now that I’m getting to know the other artists, I’m gaining more confidence in my own abilities. I’m starting to feel like a real part of the clubs and community now.
I’m very glad to hear that! 🙂 I’ve also waited a long time before joining, in the fear of not beeing good enough. But, as I figured out quite quickly, it’s not about how good you are but sharing the love for it 🙂
Very true. It’s good to be in a creative atmosphere. That alone is inspiring, I think. At first, I was hesitant about asking any questions. As I’ve gotten better acquainted with other members, though, I’m a lot more verbal. I enjoy sharing my artwork and learning more from other artists.
Ohhh what a wonderful idea! I’ve done a few parties myself back some time ago and LOVE to come up with designs and stuff for decorations! These look awesome, I’m sure the kids will love it!
Thank you, Kate! I sure hope so 🙂
These are adorable, Kim! The expression on the raccoon’s face is priceless.
Thank you, Shirley 🙂 I think some of them turned out rather nice 🙂
