Tip for making a card game: After you outline your first card you can use a ruler to make it faster. You put the ruler at the top line of the card and draw the line as long as you want it. Then use your tracing card to finish the rest by lining it up with the lines then make the line.
this video was very helpful thank you for making this. Currently I do not have access to a computer so making cards by hand has been a trial and error process for me.
I’ve wanted to make a professional tcg for like a year now, and I got a laminator for Christmas so now I will start my own tcg. Thank you for your help and I love your vids keep it up
For some weird reason, I watched 5 seconds of this video until I got super hyped and sprinted to my desk to draw 10 hand-drawn pokemon cards! Well... Thanks!
Tip: there are shortend versions of Attack, Defense, and Health. These are: ATT, DEF, HP pretty helpful if you want to save some time or space if the said stats are larger numbers.
Great vid, everybody here never give up on your dreams, your all perfect and great card makers, I believe in all of you! I’m kinda late to say this but this is the first time I’ve wanted to make a card game, I just hope everybody can achieve they’re dreams, it’s sad to see people give up on anything so I hope I can help you guys!
For card templates, I have used this method. First I drew card templates on a paper with fineliner. Then I just printed copies of the templates. That made the work just so much easier.
I'm working on a tcg called alien wars. It's about an alien planet that gets hit by a magic comet creating the alien elementals that would pass on their powers for generations until everyone on the planet is descended from the elementals. But then, due to growing tensions within the alien monarchy, there is a big political divide creating different clans. You are the leader of one of the clans and you have to fight for more land and resources to stay alive. Use your army of weird and powerful creatures to stay on top.
A tip for the sticky-back plastic: Don't peel the whole backing off the sheet. Instead peel off a stripe on one side, place it on your paper and attach it to the open stripe, then reach inbetween and gradually peel off the rest of the backing while simultaneously pressing on the plastic.
I haven't watched this vid when I started my TCG game... And I made the back of my card takes a bit of a while.... (Mine is called EvoMentals (Evoloution+Elementals) )
I remember watching this when when this was released and making my own game. i actually ended up selling some packs to my friends and we played a lot together:)
I just finished making a cats TCG but I am making a new different magic TCG because you REALY helped me improve my cards to look better with less work👍👍👍😊
I have made like 10 small card games by hand, what i do is take an a4 printer paper. Then i trace out an mtg card for bigger size, or yu-gi-oh or cardfight vanguard cards for smaller cards. Then i just run the cards through a laminator, then cut it out. It's real fun making it by hand, but i still prefer digitally, because then i can sell it and print an indefinite amount of a single card.
Crap you're great I've decided to watch this because I can't always use word to make homemade cards. I've ran out of ink 😛. Since then I've been inspired by all your great artwork. Keep up the great work
Nice video! I've had ideas for board games, and card games before... And I would spend hours writing notes and "playing" it in my head to see how the game would play out. But I never actually made it into paper or anything, I guess I got lazy. I might change that though. Your video was helpful.
Zack make a card called.......... Prononononononononon brother of tonononononononon If it vs tonononononononon it gains 100+ power From sindian (This was a joke u can use this if u want)
Coloured pencil is good if you have good brands like Faber-Castell Polychromos, I have made many superb drawings, but they do take a lot more time to blend and to you need to be experienced with them.
I am working on a card game as well, but I have to draw so much that it drains my creative thought process and that leads to multiple week long breaks away from it. Any tips?
Do you use also 200gms paper for printed cards? By the awesome video! You gave me some few ideas for my own TCG. Maybe I will send you a video of that, translated for you Greetings from Germany Tom Petzold/Raptorrise PS: Chaos Galaxy isn't really a TCG yet ^^
Thanks for making this tutorial it really helped me make a game called Rochey (i know its a dumb name :P ) i havent started selling them or giving them out yet but once i have enough and am able to made packs then i surely will! This helped a lot and i made a handbook for my game and i didnt even know you made one too!
I used to make my own card game by using index cards, so that they'd be the same size without any cuts. Didn't laminate or anything though, but managed to keep them in decent condition. I used a fine tip marker for outlines and writing and colored pencils for coloring the creatures and the borders. Unfortunately the game was hideously broken and was basically one player got out a big creature and the other player couldn't really do anything.
