⭐ Step-by-Step: Draw Your Custom Christmas Card
1. Create a New Canvas
Open your drawing app and choose a card-friendly canvas size.
For printing or sharing, we recommend:
-
2000 × 1500 px, or
-
A4 / 4:3 aspect ratio
This ensures your artwork looks crisp on any device.
2. Sketch Your Basic Layout
Using your stylus, lightly draw:
-
A simple frame or border
-
Space for your message
-
A main holiday element (tree, reindeer, snowman, gifts, etc.)
The high-precision tip and smooth pressure response make sketching feel natural and controlled.
3. Add Line Art With Smooth Strokes
Switch to a pen brush and trace your sketch.
Thanks to the stylus’s low latency and stable stroke tracking:
-
Curves look clean
-
Lines don’t wobble
-
Thin & thick strokes respond instantly
Palm rejection allows you to rest your hand comfortably while drawing — just like drawing on real paper.
4. Add Color, Shadows, and Highlights
Use layers to add festive colors:
-
Reds for ribbons and ornaments
-
Greens for trees
-
Gold or white for glowing accents
Tilt recognition in the stylus helps you:
-
Shade smoothly
-
Add depth
-
Create soft-light effects
Perfect for warm, cozy holiday illustrations.
5. Add Your Personalized Message
With the stylus’s precise writing feel, hand-lettering becomes easy.
Write holiday greetings, such as:
-
Merry Christmas
-
Happy Holidays
-
Warm Winter Wishes
Or add personalized names for an extra special touch.
6. Export & Send Your Card
When your artwork is complete:
-
Export as PNG for clarity

Share through iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, or email

Or print it if you prefer a physical version
A digital card lets you reach friends worldwide instantly.
