New Years E-Card

✏️ Draw it yourself

✨ Remember: don’t lift your pen — keep the line relaxed and continuous. The charm of a one-line drawing is in its flow, not perfection.

Part 1 (First Champagne Glass)

1. Start at the bottom left of the glass and draw a small loop.
   Go into the base of the glass.

2. Continue straight upward to form the handle, keeping the line flowing or add a little wiggle.
   At the top, move into a short zig-zag line.
   With a loose, swinging movement, draw upwards to create the outside curve of the glass.

3. Turn your line 90 degrees to the right, and after a short line turn again and go down.

4. Draw back down close to the zig-zag lines.

5. Curve the line upwards to the right corner of the rim. Creating the inside of the glass.

✨ Remember, this isn’t about perfection — it’s about flow and expression. Let your line be playful, enjoy the process, and celebrate every wobbly curve. Each time you draw it, it will feel easier, freer, and more uniquely yours. 💛

Part 4 (Add Colour)

Now it’s time to bring your drawing to life with a touch of colour.

• Add a soft pop of red to the heart to make it stand out.

• Gently wash in a light champagne tone inside the glasses — keep it transparent so the line drawing still shines.

✨ Keep it simple and light. A little colour goes a long way, and the magic is in letting the lines stay the hero of the piece.

Part 2 (The Heart)

6. - From the top of the glass, move the line upward.
   - Start the heart with a tiny loop.
   - Continue smoothly into the heart shape, letting the line flow.
   - In the centre, draw a slightly bigger loop for character and movement.
   - Finish the left side of the heart, keeping the curve soft.
   - End with another tiny loop to close the drawing gently.

Part 3 (Second Champagne Glass)

7. From the heart, move the line downward in a soft curve to create the inside of the second glass, just like you did with the first one.

8. Loop down, then guide the line back up along the left side of the glass.

9. At the rim, turn the line to the right to draw the top edge of the glass, then turn right again and move downward to form the outside of the glass.
   Start the top of the stem with a short zig-zag line, then go straight down, adding a gentle wiggle in the middle.

10. Finish with an oval shape for the base of the glass and end the line with a tiny loop on the right side.

Ring in the New Year with a simple yet meaningful design — a one-line drawing of two champagne glasses clinking, finished with a heart floating above.
