Because Everyone Needs a Hand Drawn Card...
Anyone who knows anything about me probably has realised that I love to draw my friends' cards; Christmas, Birthday, Good luck with your pet rock - The usual.
Whilst this is a great way to save money show your appreciation o_O... it is very time consuming and once you've drawn the balloons, flowers and swirly things... the ideas run a little dry and you have to start getting a little creative.
Just Smile and Wave, Boys. Smile and Wave
I understand that you may not understand a lot of the cards because my mind works in **mysterious** ways... i.e. I have tenuous and interesting inside jokes which I sometimes try to put onto cards. Usually failing miserably... but don't worry, even my friends sometimes fail to get the joke... aimed at them... because it's our inside joke. Ahaha! *sobs*
Anyway, here are a few of my favourites. These are more doodles than drawings and a lot of the time I just opt for the easier cartoon rather than real drawing so bare that in mind when critiquing :')
Various Celebratory Cards to Various People - 2012 onwards

| Harry Potter themed Birthday Card - Feb 2014 |
I drew this for a friend after managing to make him FINALLY read Harry Potter - 16 years old and never reading HP - a crime, I know. Long story short, he was hooked. Mission - Success! *self five*

| Belated Birthday Card - Feb 2015 |
This maaaay have been a little late in arriving... It was supposed to be for a January birthday but... shhh...
Anywho, anytime you can throw in a Portal reference is a good one and personally, yes the drawing is shoddy but I definitely didn't laugh at myself for a solid 10 mins when drawing this... No sirey... o_O

| Bane Birthday card - Sep 2013 |
Yes, the image quality is poor atrocious but it was a really small card... This was a last minute Bane card for my brother (I may have editted it a bit but hush hush) and it turned out ok :)
 |
| Batman vs. Bane Bday Card - Nov 2014 |
I may have a thing for drawing Batman/Bane... o_O
 |
| Caribou Christmas Card - 2014 |
This was a Christmas card to my dear friend this year. And her name is Cariboo (yes boo... not bou), The Wizard of Understanding (hence the wizard hat, obviously...) And you can check the birth certificate if you don't believe me... *nervous twitch* I don't think anymore explanation is needed other than - we're a little unhinged.
 |
| Pokemon Themed Birthday Card - Feb 2014 |
He liked Pokémon... so do I. It just made sense.
 |
| Faerie Birthday Card - Apr 2014 |
I must admit, this is one of my favourite cards. I know it's simple, and hella girly but this summarises exactly the relationship me and my best friend have. I loved drawing/??watering?? it <-- makes it sound like a plant! It was a wet paintbrush and fine-liner... not that that matters...
 |
| Penguin Christmas Card - Dec 2014 |
Ok, this one I am proud of. This is a Christmas card for this year so you are seeing this before even the receiver does. He is a penguin fan - Surely there's a club for that? and this is probably the only seriously drawn card here and I must say I am a lil' chuffed.
Woo?
So, hopefully from some of these you can see what I mean about the 'improvement' as time went on compared to the Espada... *cough*oh dear*cough*
'Til next time. Stay Awesome :)
Penguins reminded me of this Chappy :')
