Valentine's Handmade Card

Here is a handmade Valentine's card that I did today. Before starting to get myself dirty with glue & stuffs, I prepared all the things that I need to do the card (lots of color papers, images, handmade craft) The images that I used in this card was drawn using pencil which later on was outlined using Pilot pen. After that, I used Copic markers to color them. Then, the process of cutting the images took place.

Below are a few snapshots of the card:

A girl, a boy & a cat

A monkey

A rabbit & chicks

Handmade craft

A puppy

In this card, I used the concept of a photo frame. 12 heart shapes were sticked on the border of the card. Here is the completed card...

Christmas Card competition

I have just submitted my design for Christmas card competition...in this site (http://www.foldees.com). The due date of this contest actually postponed to 25th Oct. Before this, I actually thought of not joining. However, when the due date was postponed, I thought of giving myself a try. Is because of the prizes offered actually.

It is not just a normal Christmas card contest but the designers need to create a comic book theme Christmas card which is actually quite challenging. The toughest part of all, I need to create it in Illustrator. :(

During this contest, I have learned alot about Illustrator. Before this, I really wanted to learn the way to draw character using Illustrator...something like fashion illustration. Now, I know how to use Illustrator to draw a Santa. hehe..a good achievement I should said.

Below are some of my cards...hehe. Quite proud of it as a first time Illustrator user. :P
