You'll Need.....
Pencil
Earser
Black marker,sharpie,fine liner ect.
Colouring supplies
Glitter (optional)
Ruler
Paper
1. Fold a piece of paper in half. Then, draw evenly measured lines across the page. I made mine an inch long. You can draw as many lines as you think you need, I drew six. The lines are optional- I drew them so that my letters can be straight. For the cover of this card we'll be writing THE EARTH WITHOUT ART IS JUST "EH"
2. Draw your letters. Make them big and bold and preferably block letters. If you can't draw block letters just write letters then outline them. Space them however you want. Small doodles are optional (earth next to EARTH Art written with paintbrushes ect.) Don't worry too much about earasing the extra lines, you can do that when you outline everything.
3. Finalize- is there anything you want to change? Once you're done, outline everything in bold black, or the colour you're going to colour them. Example: green EARTH = green marker outline. For the finer details in something thinner such as fine liner. Or black pen if you don't have any. That's what I did.
4. Wow! As you can see this is a very easy card as we're already almost done- and only one step four! Now it's time to earse all the extra lines. Again, any last minute details should be added NOW!
5. Colouring time! For this card it'll look great to use BIG, bold colours that stand. Also, chose a theme. My theme is bold, primary-like colours. For this reason I'm going to use pinks,blues,greens,yellows and reds. Rainbow is also eye-cathing plus easy. Now for the background I'm leaving it white. There're two reasons for this. 1. It's easy 2. It draws attention to the words. Another option is to leave it white with simple designs at the edges (ex. Rainbow swirls) or colour it lightly.
6. Almost there! Next just write a message on the inside. If you want, you can draw a mini cartoon on the bottom. Keep to the same colour theme.
7. You're done! Wow, was this tutorial easy! Send this card to your Art teacher, a friend who loves art or just cut off the cover and use it as a poster! Well, see ya next time!
