Playing Cards Art Challenge | Card Art, Poker Cards & Artist Collaboration
Playing Cards Art Challenge – Create Playing Cards in Different Styles
How the Challenge Works
This is a collaborative artist community challenge built around playing card character design and playing card design ideas.
- Pick Your Card: Choose your card. Are you drawing A Joker or a Queen of Spades? The more cards we make - the better. Would be cool to have a custom Artwod playing cards deck!
- Draw the Top Half: Sketch out the top portion of your custom playing card art in whatever style you prefer. This is a great illustration style challenge and different art styles challenge where you can experiment to draw the same subject in different styles or test out playing card art for beginners and advanced creators alike.
- Submit and Share: Drop your playing card artwork into the Artwod Community. And instead of waiting for someone to draw the bottom, invite other artists to draw the bottom of your card by sharing the link with other communities.
