Custom Playing Card


Custom Playing Card
I did this playing card digitally using Inkscape.  The card I was assigned was the Jack of Hearts.  After much debate over how to complete this card I realized that my favouriteYoutubers' name is Jack, and he is known for playing a game where hearts paly a large role.  It would fit the assignment perfectly.  I did a cartoon version of him surrounded by the coloured hearts from the game.  This card took around three hours to complete.  I had hoped to get a bit more shading done but I was having some trouble with the computer program and didn't manage to get that done.  I just layered the colours a bit more to compensate for the lack of actual shading, this was the only big change to my idea. I think this card was very successful.  I was really happy with how it turned out.  When I use Inkscape I will usually sketch out my first ideas on the program itself, this time I sketched it out on paper first and then scanned that into the computer.  This really helped a lot and I learned how to layer my lines better to get smoother edges.  This project was pretty rigorous because Inkscape is a rather difficult program to work with.  I had to redo a lot of my work in order to get it exactly how I wanted.
