Some of my favorite Lord of the Rings sketch cards. These are drawn directly in pencil on the original card. They are inserted in packs of trading cards as prizes.
Some artists have time to do elaborate paintings, but most just do quick sketches. It takes roughly the same time to do a tight sketch like these as it does to do a little color piece, but most fans are dazzled by color and would prefer a color sketch.
I don’t do many cards anymore because I am too busy. But when I am a big fan of the project, I try to carve out some time.
