drawing cards

Postby Option » Mar 28th, '06, 17:01



I have a blank face deck, I want to make my own esp like deck. Stuff like say red circle, blue square, etc.

What's the easiest way to do so? I want big solid color shapes, but what to color with? A sharpie won't be even and may show thru if coloring in.

Any tips?

The easiest way to get a good ESP deck? Buy it - it's £12 I think at magicbox. Look for Beyond ESP 2.

Advantages: it doesn't look cheap, it doesn't look 'cardy', it's professionally made, it's brilliantly marked, it comes with umpteen amazing routines.

I do agree with Kati. The beyond ESP2 cards are (for me) the best ones out there, and I use them a lot.

Having said that there is an argument for making them up yourself on the grounds they look more innocent and less proppy if you have drawn the symbols freehand. But for that exact reason, if you are going to do that, don't worry about it being even as that is way you are doing it free hand.

and yes. Coloured sharpies are as good as anything else...

If you did want to make them yourself, but not have it drawn freehand, then just design some on the PC and print labels. To be honest though, if going down that route - the Beyone ESP2 cards are the way to go.

Yeh, for £12 is the argument is taking a few out of my blank deck is much cheaper!

The less proppy thing too, but I do want the filled incolor to look solid rather than you know how sometimes you see lines because some places your pen stopped longer?
