My sister's old sketchbook led to our first digital art collage
I found my sister's childhood sketchbook in the attic last week and got this idea to scan the pages and make a digital collage for her birthday. Using a free drawing app on my tablet, I layered her doodles with some family photos from when we were kids. It was tricky at first because I had to learn how to use layer masks and blending modes, but watching tutorials helped a lot. When I showed her the finished piece on my laptop, she got really quiet and then hugged me, saying it felt like our whole childhood in one image. We spent the next hour talking about the memories each drawing brought back, like the silly cats she always drew. Now she wants to learn digital art too, so we plan to work on more projects together. It's cool how something as simple as old sketches can bring us closer and spark a new hobby. I never thought digital art could be so personal until this happened.
