The self-imposed drawing tasks come thick and fast for me at this time of year. No sooner have I sent out my Christmas cards than it’s a race to draw my daughter’s birthday invitations in time for her to hand them out at school before term ends.
This year she’s having a party at the local trampolining centre, and here’s what I came up with:
I’ve left it blank, so feel free to print it out and use it if you are having your own trampoline party! All I ask is that you keep the web address on the side there, so people know where the pictures came from.
For my own invitations, I added text between the figures with all the details of where and when the party was, etc, and there are faint guidelines so you can fold it into three. It then fits into a nice standard-sized envelope.
And now, some process pics.
Sketches:
I inked over these with a lightbox and coloured them in digitally.
Then went to print them out. Oops, I guess my printer is low on yellow ink:

Phew, finally. And here they are all printed out:
