A near finished card

This is card 1, -parent-. I still need to add the boarder and type but this is the two colour style i am going for.

Si Scott playing cards

Thanks to Saeed I can say that the box designs for the cards isgoing to help me in packaging, and they are good to look at. It gives me an idea of possible materials i can use to make the box, card, shiny card or something lighter.

si scott is known for his fluid style that could grace a formal occasion.

Easter scans!

Portraits of my aunties, I apprechiate them staying so still for me :) all good practice.

A lion with a mane of  fire lillies, somehow this fills in the 'fantasy' category for me. Though I wish I didn't sketch in pen for this one.

I do not use tarot cards, however I remembered I had some to scan in, these are my favourite two

This is the back of the unicorn card, keeps to the theme and has a classical feel.

I can't begin to name them all but these crystals just sit there in a dish on my shelf, I figured I could make the card boarders decorative if I just use some stones. They slid down my scanner too so I'm surprised at the spacing in between!

People portrait..?

I love how he has NOTHING to do with this project, 'cept the fact I was drawing people in profile and was in the mood for trying out a more realistic style. I fell flat on my ass because he still has that cartoony style. I cheated and used a reference to make this :) Anyways.. it's Sid, he gave me a break from drawing fantasy for a while. Next up I will scan mom's tarot cards and other things to help me draw the card boarders.

 

These are sketchy ideas for type on the tarot cards, done in ink pens.

Sketchbook scans part 4

Some sketches with combined techniques of ink and water, things get interesting here by just simply observing pictures and drawing them.

Fantasy- horse to unicorn! i mention why i want to use a horse on a card.

The anatomy is well off..the legs were the biggest dissapointment, I edited the original in PS and used the heal brush to make a boarder sort of patter, since tarot cards usaully have a boarder, this was just a lucky accident.

I am recording sketches of people, faces, expression and bodies so that i can use this research in some of the tarot cards, I'm drawing them so I can improve the look and feel of my FMP.
