Hello friends! Shei here. :)
It's my cousin's birthday! Yay!


Unfortunately, we're not able to celebrate her birthday together this year because of Coronavirus. She and her family lives in the countryside, and we have no means to go there. Well, we're not allowed to go out to start with.

Her birthday is during summer vacation here in the Philippines, so she and her family comes over for a few days and we celebrate together, or we go to the countryside. When the problem about coronavirus is finally finished, we will have a lot of late celebrations with family. :)


Anyway, let me show you the artwork I made for my cousin on her birthday. :)

Ohh... I actually used a reference for this... Check it out below. :)

This baby cousin of mine is finally of legal age, but she still looks super young... Well, whatever her age may be, she will always be my baby cousin.

Now, let me show you the process as to how I created the artwork. I used my XP-PEN tablet and Paint Tool SAI to create it.

Of course, I started with primary draft and then a much clearer draft.

After completing the line art, I colored the artwork with its base colors. I tried to make some changes as well, and made the artwork a bit anime-like. :) Well, I still can't make realistic ones though.

After the base colors, I did a bit of shadowing. :) I'm still not good at it, but I find it interesting how the drawing somehow transform. :)

In the Philippines, or maybe in other countries, we associate birthdays with red, so I originally planned to make the background color red. However, this cousin of mine is really crazy about the color blue because of the university volleyball team that she admires. So yeah, blue it is!

Of course, I attached my username, signature as well as the date today, her birthday, April 27th. <3


I already sent this digital artwork to her, and she likes it a lot! I am so happy!!! I really hope the best for her and as much as I can, I'll do my best to support her. She's like a sister to me, after all. :)

I'll end this post here. Thank you very much for checking it out. See you again! (^^,)/ Take care always everyone and keep safe. Let's all hope for the best! :)
