Since I started making my creature cards people have been asking HOW and WHERE I make them... well time to spill the beans, here is how you make them (sort of) + a bonus redesign an old critter!

Go check out my patreon.com/dinanorlund if you are interested in collecting my creature cards + stickers and a limited postcard!

You can also support me by buying my books at hushbird.com
Thank you for all your support!

Materials:

Printer is printed.com
I use InDesign for adding bleed and exporting image to CMYK (from RGB)
For this video I used Ipad + procreate to design the card and creature
normally I would use a watercolour sketch + Krita on my PC
A Pokemon card is 63 x 88 mm, but it's easier to test print with business card sized cards and A7 postcards.

Illo sketchbook, square
Colerase pencil in various colours
Ballpoint pen: BIC Soft Feel Ballpoint Pens Black 3 Pack.
Pen: Zig Cartoonist Mangaka Flexible Marker Pen - Fine Tip - Black
Schmincke Horadam watercolours: Lemon Yellow, Pure yellow, Transparent Orange, Purple magenta, Ultramarine finest, Phthalo Blue, Phtalo Green, yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, burnt Umber, Sap Green, Indigo.
Pencil: 8B Faber castell 9000 pencil, jumbo and normal
