If you want more practice drawing banners, I have two full tutorials – 1.0 and 2.0 – and they come with free worksheets!

Step 1: Draw the banner outline in pencil

You can draw in some guidelines on the sides and at the top and bottom to give yourself some width. Next, you’re going to add in three separate “ribbons.”

Step 2: Draw in some florals

These are some super basic florals, like spruce and berries, below.

Step 3: Write your message in the banner

Make sure your letters follow along the curves of the ribbon.

Step 4: Ink it!

First, go over the front banner pieces with your Micron pen, followed by the florals with a thinner pen, and finally finishing it off with the message on the banner.

Step 5: Add some pops of colour!

Using a red brush pen and the white gel pen, add in some colour and snowy dots all around. You can also shadow your letters.
