Merry Christmas 2020

The size of this card folded is 9" x 3.75". It's impossible to draw this much detail at that size so this is how you do it:
1. First you draw all the reindeer separately at a much bigger size. (You use parchment paper because it's sooooo nice to draw on with technical pens and not meant to be saved, anyway)

2. Then you scan and colour them and Santa and the sleigh (which you also drew separately and larger) in Photoshop.

3. You draw the text and snow and colour the snow in Photoshop, too

4. Everything gets reduced in size and laid out in InDesign software, with which you also make the night sky background, the logo is added and the final artwork gets sent to Printing in .pdf format. Ta Da!!

The same process was used to make this year's card: Merry Christmas 2021!
