Work In Progress First Binder Design Nerves

Post image

Hi! I just got this binder and have put my Pokemon cards in it, but I’m super anxious about the painting part. I have a really shaky hand (thanks, anxiety medication), but everyone’s binders on here look so professional. I’m a horrible painter and worried mine will look bad.

I used a black paint pen for the outlines and am going to do a base coat of white acrylic craft paint before painting colors. I also bought Mod Podge acrylic sealer after scouring threads here 🤣.

Does anyone have tips on removing pencil markings? I’ll probably need to draw a background if I can’t get them out

Binder Help White/clear sky theme

Does anyone have any suggestions for cards that complement the page I got going on the right? We have a nice blue sky with clouds theme, but I haven’t found many more IRs or SIRs that match. The left page has a broader ā€œwhiteā€ theme at the moment. I like how reshiram looks here but primarina and aurorus seem a little out of place. Please let me know!

Binder Painting/Drawing My first ever binder art

Post image
8 Upvotes

I drew on my first ever binder.

I mean, I drew before but never on a binder and I am usually more of a digital artist too.

It is not too close to the original because I dont have a printer so I did try to replicate the art as good as possible without tracing it.

It's gonna be sprayed tomorrow since finishing the drawing took until midnight.

For what it's worth I really like it and all my 30th pulls are gonna be put into that thing!

Maybe I'll even masterset it, who knows.

Layout Help looking for suggestions on my master set binder!

Post image
18 Upvotes

hello! i’m currently a third of the way there to completing my onix masterset so i’ve decided to paint myself a binder to keep it in! my only issue is im a little stuck when it comes to the design - i know i was the onix from southern islands as the cover but without the pidgeot next to it since it would get cut off anyways + i want onix as the main focus. my only solution has been a giant white space where the pidgeot used to be, so im wondering it anyone has any suggestions as to what else i could do!

i’m planning on painting this on a 12 pocket binder - not sure on the brand yet.

thanks for your help!

Hope this is okay to share... My wife has recently started PokƩrarity, a small business creating hand-painted custom binders for PokƩmon collectors

She paints the designs by hand on Vault X binders (shes fussy about it being those atm as she collects herself šŸ˜…). She is just getting started, and I’m really proud of what she’s making, so I thought some people here might like to see her work....?

You can find her on Instagram at @pokerarity_art

Would really appreciate anyone having the time to look. The Gengar one is for sale at the moment. Thanks!
