I decided to create my own Christmas cards this year. I love snow people and this sketch really seemed to sum up the joy of a recieving a great gift. I also enjoyed coming up with the little snow creature for the snow girl to be getting as a present. In my first drawing it was a bunny, but it seemed to be looking rather hungry gazing up at the carrot on her face - I could almost picture the next panel as a gory scene... so, I changed it to a kitten with little twig whiskers and I can imagine her naming it "snowball". I never did a pen drawing of this picture because, I wanted it to be more of a painting. I came up with the final sketch then painted it with watercolors and used pen and ink to add details at the end.
