Earlier this year I had a project to make a set of angel cards. For a while, I was seeing angels, angels, everywhere! There were four types...they all had the same basic design, but different details...dresses, hair, colors. It was fun to have a project with angels, but it also took a lot of work to plan and make each one unique, yet still part of a set. There were also special colors and themes to use as well. Here's an example of how one turned out:
Once I sketched and inked them, I used Photoshop to color them in. Getting the color schemes right took a little time. Here is an example of the inked version before and then the color version after of my favorite one. I think I had some angels looking over my shoulder during this project to help me finish!!
