My niece is expecting baby # 2 and she had a baby shower in the theme of “Woodland Animals.” So I created these cute little guys for decorations for her baby shower. I drew all of the animals individually, then I transferred them to mixed-media paper to color and ink. Once I had all the animals done, I photographed them, pulled them up in Photoshop and put them all together for a welcome sign and little tags for each attendee.
Here are a few of the individual drawings.
I thought the little moose was SO Cute! I think he was my favorite.
And here is my Oregon Beaver. (The shower was in Bend, Oregon) He looks a little feisty!
And a sweet little rabbit.
The bear was one of the last ones I drew. He is so funny!
I know we don’t have Hedgehogs in the Northwestern US, but I ran across a photograph of one and thought he was adorable, so I decided to include him.
These were so much fun to create!
Have a wonderful, creative, day, Janell

Adorable! You will have to create names for them and do a follow up. They would make great characters in stories. What a lovely thing to do for your niece!
