Ever since I moved away from my hometown in 2002, I've been making cards for all my nieces and nephews on their birthdays and holidays. At first I made them by hand, scrapbook style, but I really wanted to illustrate them, and when I went back to school to study design, I shifted from hand-made to hand-drawn (and digitally created). Now I create most of my card illustrations in Procreate on the iPad. Here are a few my favorite birthday illustrations from the past few years.
