Carly Stafford Birthday Surprise

Here is a picture that I did as a birthday-themed gift/request for my good friend : A picture of his original character, a female tiger named Carly Stafford, celebrating his birthday with a cake and presents. Because my friend was able to let me know about his birthday being this month while I was accepting requests as gifts for my friends' birthdays that took place in April, I decided to take the opportunity to draw something that I would be able to post in time for his birthday, which also involves drawing at least one of his original characters in my cartoon style as well. For this picture I've done, I was able to draw Carly holding up a birthday cake with a stack of presents in front of her, and she would even be seen holding one of them with her other arm; Because of this being my first time drawing this character in my cartoon style, I tried to keep things nice and simple. As I was coloring the picture in, I was able to use a red texture for the background, and I decided to fill up much of the empty space by adding stars in different sizes. The picture turned out very nice after being completed, and I just know that my friend will love it no matter what.
