Inktober Head Start: Day 2, "Spiders.” Final line art (digital). I will print this line art and then trace it to be hand-inked. The process of each spider can be seen in other posts. The web is also explained. Behind the web the sky will be totally black except for some stars I think, and of course the moon. I will use a light table to trace it onto the final paper on October 2nd for inking. @inktober #inktober #inktober2023 #inktoberheadstart #inktobersketch #inktoberspiders #trashclown #trashclownart #dyrirattlingourd #theartofdyrirattlingourd #ink #inkdrawing #penandink #art #illustration #weird #weirdcore #weirdecoreart #goth #gothaesthetic #gothic #gothgirl #gothfashion #halloween #spooktober #spooky #spookyseason #spiders #spidertattoo #spiderweb #spidora

Inktober Head Start: Day 2, "Spiders," progress. This is the digitally drawn spider web for the background. I used the Photoshop radial symmetry tool. I added a color overlay effect and stroked it to get the outline of it in the final. I may make a hand inked version of just the web I will definitely make stickers of the web alone and it will appear in future art! I am so happy with how it turned out @inktober #inktober #inktober2023 #inktoberheadstart #inktobersketch #inktoberspiders #trashclown #trashclownart #dyrirattlingourd #theartofdyrirattlingourd #ink #inkdrawing #penandink #art #illustration #weird #weirdcore #weirdecoreart #goth #gothaesthetic #gothic #gothgirl #gothfashion #halloween #spooktober #spooky #spookyseason #spiders #spidertattoo #spiderweb #spidora

This is the design printed on the prototype box, but the finished box may have a different card on it.

This is the die line I created. It's definitely going to need adjustments. If I go with the die cut (this shape) cards instead of rectangle, then the manufacturers will adjust the card die line and the box.

Here’s the rough idea of the box. I still haven’t decided if the cards will be this shape or rectangular. It’s going to depend on the prices, but for now, enjoy this mockup I created to simulate the box for the die cut cards. I designed the die line and cut it out to make this sample box. Thanks for following my work! Please share, like, and comment. Email for commissions, no DMs please.

Continuing from my previous post: I am now recreating the skeleton puppet front view. I turned to my favorite anatomy book references and worked first on paper. I like to use colorful markers or highlighters, starting with yellow, building to darker colors. I add white to block out where I can the parts I'm not keeping. This sharpie is oil based and didn't work as well as a posca pen, but that's okay. It's just process work. I then go over that with tracing paper. After the tracing paper, I scan the line art. Then I put it in Photoshop. I straighten the image out and create a new layer for the next step. I used the vertical symmetry option via the butterfly icon in Photoshop CC to create a mirrored drawing. That's the last step in Photoshop. Next I need to recreate it in Adobe Illustrator. You can see how much my drawing's improved with photo reference and using the symmetry tool. Illustrator will give the puppet scalability for the final digital line artworks. The end stage of all 78 tarot cards will be pen and ink.

Inktober Day 2 Spiders. Today I traced this from my digital line art. I'll finish this in November. Slide 2 is the digital line art with black where I must fill in with ink. Slide 3 is just the digital line art. The rest of the slides show individual components of the drawing.
