Birthday Pencil Drawings

Birthday drawings in pencil: a two-tier cake with candles, a tall three-tier cake with dripping icing, a cake next to a vase of tulips, a cupcake with a candle, a stack of gifts, balloons with a present, a party hat and a card with a cake. There are animals too: a teddy bear with a gift, a cat in a party hat with a party horn and a puppy next to a cake.

Start with a light outline in an HB pencil, then trace the lines darker or color the drawing with markers to turn it into a birthday card.
