TIPS FOR DRAWING
I generally used the negative/white space to create colour rather than just colouring the entire area. As with the Christmas tree, it would have been a lot to colour the tree area so I coloured the outside boundary of the tree and it still makes it very clear that it is a green Christmas tree!
Notice how the size of the character's features are out of proportion? Itty bitty eyes and a big head. Or the facial features are all small and drawn really high (or really low) on the face. Squishy smushed-up facial features make for all their cuteness!
My other favourite place to go to level up my creations is Skillshare (30% off annual subscription here: bit.ly/3VXPRnK (aff)). I got the inspiration for these characters from Yasmina's You Can Create Christmas Cuties course bit.ly/3VHvThj (aff).
You could place small items like jewellery, gift cards, or cash in these gift boxes. Or you could make a game of it - split one gift between all boxes (Lego works well for example) and then turn it into a scavenger hunt.
I have much more detailed tips on using these paint pens in my blog post. You will find the full tutorial at the link below.
