Drawing Tips!
Here’s how to get the best result for your child’s beautiful artwork.
-
Use strong, bright marker pens, paints, craft dyes and good quality photos. You don’t have to use special pens, just make sure the colours are bright and bold.
-
Don’t use pencils, crayons, metallics, fluoros or glitter. These don’t show up very well on the finished product.
-
Draw inside the drawing area marked on the template. Keep in mind up to 2cm can get trimmed off from one or more edges during manufacture, so make sure to keep important names and dates away from the edge.
-
Write your child’s name in the box in the top right corner, and write the number of copies you’d like in the box below. Some drawing paper templates are used for more than one product, so make sure you are filling out the right box.
-
Photos should be glued in place well. Large, bright close-ups are best as they will slightly blur and darken during manufacture.
-
Any marks in the drawing area may show up on the final product. Rub out any pencil marks properly, or use a fresh sheet of drawing paper.
- Don’t roll, fold or crease the paper. Keep it flat and free from damage.
