How to Draw Surprise Party

Simple steps to draw surprise party, based on what works in the examples above.

1 Start with the setting using two or three large shapes instead of lots of tiny scenery.
2 Add big silhouette and clear outline early — these are the features that make a surprise party recognizable.
3 Add the main event in the middle so the prompt reads before the background does.
4 Keep it simple at first. Do not spend the timer decorating the background before the core idea is visible.
5 Practice by drawing a surprise party in Artbitrator, where you can also watch how other players approached it.

Tip: The most recognizable surprise party drawings get big silhouette and clear outline down early. Add those first, then refine.
