Spontaneous Lenormand

Elven

Well I had no intentions of making this... it started this afternoon.
- simple drawings on blank card stock with coloured texta's.

I have wanted to sketch for a while now, but I thought a painting in acrylics would be nice :) but that didn't happen at all. I'm using markers :laugh:
So, this deck started to appear - it just started spontaneously, hence the name - and I started with The Tree - I can draw a tree, but the other elements I thought I would have trouble with, but I have just kept drawing.

So far there is no embellishment on them - just the symbol - Totally raw form.
I don't know what will happen with it - I'm just sitting here drawing tonight.
I will download what has happened so far since 4 pm.
I have started the Clover, Snake & Clouds, but they are not ready to scan yet.
Thanks so much :)
Cheers :)

Best wishes!
 

Elven

Thanks Noni :)
They are very simple. I'm trying my hand at no pencil work beforehand. I'm trying to see the image on the card and just trace the non existent image on the cardstock :laugh: Dots and squiggles :D

Hi moongypsy :)
Thanks for that - much appreciated :)
Ive got no expectations at this stage as to whats happening with the designs - its just fun to do at the moment, so you're welcome to come along for the ride :D
I've just got the basic snake draft done - I'll post it soon :)

Ooo, I really like these! Simple and detailed at the same time. I'm eager to see more!
 

Elven

Thanks SixDegrees :) Cheers for that :)

Im having 'Cloud' trouble. Ive done 3 of them but they are not right.
I need simple clouds - but im starting to get 'fussy' so the textas are being put aside until tomorrow.
I appreciate you guys looking in on this at such an early stage.
Thanks so much!

I LOVE these! So carefully detailed yet with such spontaneity and freedom...loose but tightly controlled, if that makes any sense. The colors are a delight. What medium are you using?

This is such a great way to start creating a deck. I dither for AGES and wind up not starting anything....how wonderful that you just had the impulse and ran with it!

LOVE the snake!:love:
