I've written about my process previously on other collection pages but I'll still include some process photos to take you through the making of each of these.
Materials used:
Vintage magazine pages, spray paint, acrylic markers, ink, acrylic, gel pen, pencil.
I did a lot of sketching and mapping of the card template (using rulers and circles) before I made the actual illustrations on vintage paper. I then used gelpen, pencil and ink to outline the girls before I started adding more texture (spray paint, pieces of vintage paper, acrylic paint). The color selection was based on the characteristics each card is said to have; Hearts is Summer, Diamonds is Spring, Clubs is Winter and Spades is Autumn. I also tried to match the vibe and expression to each suit creating four very different but still cohesive illustrations.
