I Designed My Own Deck Of Cards Inspired By Nature And Magic

ADVERTISEMENT

I have always loved playing cards and so I decided to design my own deck of cards. The idea is to design a whole deck and each card will be different from the other, and some even have games (the 3, 4 and 5). I took this challenge to increase my creativity and consistency!

I take inspiration from in nature, animals, the night sky, magic and I just try to create Magic on a piece of paper! I have always been fascinated by the fact that we as humans can imagine and dream and create!! I use Unipin Fineliners on a Moleskine Sketchbook.

This challenge isn’t over yet, and it already has been helping me with my creativity, growth as an artist and social media presence too! Hopefully one day it will become a real deck of cards!!

You can print cards with different designs of your own on moo.com ...not sure if it would work for what you're doing but worth checking out.

okay, but as an amateur cardist and card collector, i would absolutely kill to have a deck like this. it's so incredibly intricate and flows so well. i can only imagine what the back design would be like. ridiculously beautiful job.
