Description
In the beginning of 2009 I came up with the idea to create a birthyday calendar with my baby character. I didn't get to it till nearly 3-quarters of a year later, but there you have it.

The idea was to draw and ink 12 pictures (manually), colour the figure in Photoshop and do the backgrounds with watercolour paint.

January is winter month and winter stands for snow, even though it doesn't always work like that. I was really happy with my background here, used white acrylic paint to create the snowflakes. But somehow it did make it difficult to choose the right colours for the drawing. I like using a limited colour palette, but in this case it made the baby disappear against the background. Greens and browns it was then, still sticking to bluish hues, even in the skin and carrot.
