Hello, good afternoon, my friends. I hope you are all well. I want to share with you a banner I made for my son's school to kick off the Christmas season. As we all know, Christmas, my favorite season, was welcomed with open arms this October. I drew Santa peeking out, a mini nativity scene, and a large "Merry Christmas" sign. They asked me to do this quickly, so I wanted to be as fast as possible and also share some photos with you.
I started by doing my drawing in pencil, as this allows me to see my mistakes and correct them at the same time. As I mentioned at the beginning, I drew Santa Claus' face, then a sign that says "Merry Christmas." At the bottom, I drew a nativity scene, when the baby Jesus came into the world and was in the stable with his parents and animals.
Next, we are going to paint and bring our drawing to life with color. First, I painted Santa Claus' face, then I continued painting the letters, using green for "Merry" and red for "Christmas."
Next, I continued painting light green to simulate grass, then I continued painting the stable brown, and the characters of the baby Jesus and his parents.
I painted the background of the stable skin color. On one side, I placed a sheep and a donkey. At the top of the grass, I painted a light blue background like the sky.
On the other side of the stable, I continued painting an adorable cow, remembering that there may have been several animals present in that place.
Finally, continue painting stars at the top, with yellow stars, and on the other side, blue snowflakes around Santa Claus, as you can see, thus completing my creation.
This is the final result of my beautiful Christmas banner. I hope you find it useful and inspiring. Thank you for your attention. Credits: I took the photos with my Redmi 12 and translated the texts with the Deepl translator. Have a great afternoon, everyone!
