Merry and Bright Stickers
Sketches
At first, I wanted to do something in honor of my pets in heaven. I sketched out my two birds and two dogs and my cat, and then I decided it would be too difficult emotionally for me to re-create stickers of them.
I did other sketches as well, thinking of things that I enjoy and would like creating a few stickers of. I thought of national parks that I love visiting, including Arches and Yellowstone and sketched a few things to go along with them.
I then thought of something to do with birthdays or presents and that's where the Christmas idea came from. I also love Jeeps, since I own one, and thought it would be cool to have a Jeep sticker.
In the end, I decided to go with a Christmas theme since the holidays are approaching and I thought it would be fun to do something festive. The objective of these stickers is to have something fun to enjoy the holiday with. I think children would be the main audience for these stickers since they are of fictional Christmas characters.
First Draft
Elves, Rudolph and Santa: three icons of the Christmas holiday. Where would Christmas be without them (in the make-believe side of Christmas, of course)?
For the elves shoes, I discovered a secret way of making a mirror of an object from a YouTube tutorial. You only have to make one shoe, and using this trick, a mirror image of the object automatically appears on the other side.

First to second draft
Some feedback from classmates included adding more details to Rudolph and Santa so I made changes accordingly by adding shadows to Santa's hat.
Second to third draft
After receiving some more feedback, a few changes were made including adding a face to Santa, adjusting Santa's beard, and adding more details to Rudolph like antlers and a shiny nose.
This all lead to the final product!
I feel like these stickers have come a long way from the very first draft, thanks to feedback about what to improve. It took a lot of patience and trial and error to get to this point.
