The Star - tarot card art

Drawn ink and marker on bristol, finished digitally in Krita. For my upcoming tarot card deck which eventually will be on kickstarter and my website but it’s taking a good while, this is a lot of work! (sure looks pretty though, if I may humbly say so…)

That’s a beautiful card.

This is beautiful. I like how you scanned in the drawing to finish it. I’ve thought about doing something similar with some of my old sketches, and after seeing this I might follow through on it.

Amazing work, really good!

Thank you!

Thank you, glad you like it :slight_smile: I learned traditional fine art first before moving to digital much later. At first I tried to be 100% digital but it just didn’t feel that “natural” to me (if that makes sense) so I eventually adopted a hybrid approach where I now always do the sketch and often part of the shading trad so i can get the organic feel for the piece. And then I switch to digital to finish so i can add in the special effects and change my mind 100 times about what colors I want.

I like that. I’ve tried sketching digitally a lot but it’s neve felt as easy as sketching with pencil and paper (or pen).

Amazing website btw. I checked it out and you have A LOT of amazing work on there. Really cool stuff. I have my own too, (though the art on there isn’t near as good as your’s is)

I’m not terrible with the digital tools (brushes, effects, etc.), but I really need a lot more practice with the some of the fundamentals. Especially anatomy more then anything. I’ve took 2 life drawing classes in college but have been deciding if I want to find one again or just keep practicing with books on my own?
