Poster for Valentine's Day: we make sketches
The first stage of creating a wall newspaper on the theme "Valentine's Day" is:
- preparation of necessary materials (you need a sheet of format A1 or A2, markers, simple and colored pencils, proofreader, eraser, ruler, glue, etc.);
- preparation of thematic pictures and textual content (pictures can be copied, congratulations written by hand or both, cut out of magazines and postcards and pasted onto a sheet of paper);
- choosing the style of the poster design and finding the most successful arrangement of the elements on the sheet (carefully plan the appearance of the wall newspaper being created so that you do not have to radically change it later);
- Create a draft with a simple pencil (mark on the sheet of paper the places on which the title should be placed, the blocks with texts and illustrations, sketch out the sketch of the future image, sketching out the outlines and outlining the proportions of the composition objects).
Council. If you do not have large paper at hand, you can glue several A4 sheets together.
Poster for Valentine's Day: create a drawing
When the preparatory work for creating a poster for the Day of all lovers will be ready, you can begin to draw details of the romantic picture. Hover a simple pencil outline of a pre-planned composition and erase the rough lines. Paint with bright markers or pencils the individual elements of the depicted drawing, trying not to go beyond the outlined area. If the illustration to the wall newspaper is to be borrowed from a greeting card or magazine, and not drawn by yourself, move in a different direction: cut out the paper blank from the printed products and carefully glue it on a piece of paper. Allow the product to dry slightly, and proceed to the next step.
Poster for Valentine's Day: we write the title and the main text
Any poster drawn for Valentine's Day or for any other holiday should have a catchy and attention-grabbing headline. Write on the paper in large letters the phrase "Valentine's Day" or "Happy Valentine's Day," drawing only the outlines of the font, and then paint the inside of each letter using bright pencils or markers.
Council. The heading of the wall newspaper is not obligatory to draw on a white background, and then paint over in the right color! You can cut out the necessary letters from colored paper, paste to the paper and decorate with beautiful decorative sequins.
Write a black (or any other) felt-tip pen with a congratulatory text, without going beyond the boundaries of the framework. To give the poster a complete look, erase the pencil sketches and other unnecessary details with the eraser, mask out the gluing places and refine the background design.
