Well, Blogathon is starting now! I'm excited. Thank you to everyone so far who has generously donated to Alzheimer's Association. Remember, if you would like, you can suggest something for me to draw, using the comments feature below.
I'll probably be scanning in my progress once every hour, since it takes so long to scan and upload things, but I will keep up updated each half hour.
To start, as a warm up, I will work on my Tarot deck. In an art class a few years ago, we had the design challenge of making the 5 of Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs represent Anger, Aggression, Peace, and Love, using nothing but the suit symbols. That was fun, but the emotions were kinda vague, and I would have liked to have made a whole deck. So, I am using the tarot suits and meanings, plus an occasional prop. I don't believe in Tarot having divinatory powers, but they all have cool symbolism that is fun to draw.
It's taken a few years, but here are the cards that I have made so far:
I'll probably redo some of them eventually, like the Ace and Two of Coins, the Ten of Swords, the Queen of Wands, etc.
Alright, so, to start the day, I will continue working on this card:
I'll let you my reasoning behind drawing it that way next update, at around 9:30. Feel free to comment on my art below, I would love constructive criticism. Thanks!
