Okay, so today I messed around with making some digital balloons. It wasn’t anything super fancy, just a fun little project to kill some time.
Getting Started
First, I just kinda sketched out a basic balloon shape. I wasn’t aiming for perfection, just something that looked vaguely balloon-like. You know, roundish, with a little pointy bit at the bottom where you’d tie it off.
Adding Some Color
Next, I picked a few colors. I went with your standard red, blue, and yellow – can’t go wrong with the classics, right? I filled in the balloon shapes with these colors, making sure each one was a solid, bright hue.
Playing with Shading (Sort Of)
Then, I thought I’d try to make them look a little less flat. I grabbed a lighter shade of each color and added a little highlight on one side, like where the light would hit it. Nothing too precise, just a quick swipe of a lighter color. I think that makes them look more three-dimensional！
Making it a Bunch
One balloon is lonely, so I copied and pasted a few more, changing the colors and sizes a bit. I overlapped them a little, like a real bunch of balloons. It’s so vivid, right?
The Final Touch
Finally, I drew in those little strings. Just some squiggly lines dangling down from each balloon. It is not very difficult.
And that’s it! A super simple way to draw some balloons. It’s not gonna win any awards, but it was fun, and that’s what counts, right? It’s the kind of thing you could do with any basic drawing program, or even just with markers on paper.
