Decorative stickers on walls and furniture

For the manufacture of designer labels for children's furniture, the walls in the baby's room are fine with the usual sheets from the album for drawing. To simplify and accelerate the process of "multiplication" of patterns, it is recommended to make templates: a common outline, a scarf, a face of a nesting doll.

For each sheet from the album, the outline is redrawn by the template, then the details of the kerchief are added. After that, the face is translated from the template. After coloring a sarafan and a scarf, the dolls begin to draw a face. If there are no skills of drawing faces from the master, the schematic face is quite suitable: symbolic eyes with dots, a nose can be represented with a short arc or a vertical segment, the lips are represented by an arc, an asymmetrical nose, but larger in size.
