A commission for three custom watercolored popup graduation cards. Although I only have images of each card’s illustration process, each card had a part of the illustration that was cut out from the overfold of the card, creating a pop-up effect.
The first for a boy who liked fantasy and reading, so I decided on a forest dragon composition.
The second for a girl who liked horses, and had adopted several rescued ones, so a definite horse theme with luck and compassion symbols.
The third for a girl who liked to create fantasy characters, so I created a rendition of one of her characters with her permission.
