Description

Do you remember when you were a kid and you imagined everything was alive? Those little creatures living under the floorboards, or hiding between the leaves? Using simple illustration techniques you can make these creatures come alive and draw cute characters onto real photos! How? You only need Inkscape and a photo to draw onto! And some creative playfulness of course!

Use the free tool Inkscape and your imagination and create a cute elf reading on a mushroom today! Even better, apply what you learn and create your own character on any photo and use it as a greeting card, Instagram post, or a cute poster for children!
