frontpage

for the front page, i've decided just to put the face of the character of the onion man. the character i put is in color. different with the interior which i only put black and white.

firstly, i put up the wish "happy birthday mum" on the left section. make sure the "birthday" writing is bigger than both "happy" and "mum".

after that, i started to draw the picture. well, this time i didn't trace. i used pencil tool to just draw out the outline then started to insert the color. for the onion man, i chose yellow. i included it with a "songkok"; a malay tradition hat.

lastly, for the background. i chose rainbow! haha! red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.. arent they such interesting colors! i used gradient for it as linear. then, i made it straight. so the red to purple is from above to below.

just to make it look nicer, i added some of the stars. i just copy them from the backpage anyway :D

after i made the trace smaller, i've gained all of my mom's wish list and made it simple.. put the "happy birthday mum" in different colors.. the trick was to make the stars.

i let the drawings stick with the white background and so does the character.

head start!

all of us have different ideas eh? while everyone else are doing some other types of cards, i chose to do a birthday card. special for my mom :)

among all of the designs, i finally find my idea to make one. before i started to make the front page, i've created the inside first. ahaks.

first, i made the character. it is the same person as the previous works of mine. the "onion man". because it is sooooo cute!

i made the trace first.

then, i added the clothes of a sailor.. and because of the character is a baby, i made a songkok instead of a sailor head just to make sure it looked malay c(:

then i made it smaller in size...
