Handmade Christmas Card

Hi..I did 2 cards for my friends during Christmas. I have first drawn the images of the snowman used in both of the card on the paper using pencil & later on had it outlined using pilot G-1 pen. After that, I used Copic markers as well as some color pencils on the images.

Christmas Trees

After that, I have cut out the snowman & the tress & stick it on a color paper. I have also used some DIY flowers that I bought from the shop earlier. Below is 1 of the cards that I have made.

Web 2.0 Christmas Email Design

Didn't actuaaly know what it was at first however the word 'Christmas' make me joined it. For your info, I love Christmas. Maybe because of the white snow, the friendly Santa or maybe the cute snowman. haha. I don't really know why.

Found some reference from the web about email template. Just submitted 1 design so far using the Santa that I have created earlier (reusable component). haha. Take a look at it & please comment....

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.

The top ten rated cards will be able to choose extra prizes from the list below..This means everyone ends up with something they want, rather than just something bigger or better!

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
