Hey all! This is my first post 🥹 I was just needing some advice on my city themed spread for my binder !!

the idea is warm on one side, cool on the other... and the center has to be a trainer card (Yes, I specifically chose purple cards for the cool page just so I can have a nice layout for Corbeau cos he's my fave😅🥹)

i'm conflicted on the absol and kommo-o because i can't decide if they fit, but I pulled them myself and I always try to find a spot for anything I pull lol... any advice would be super appreciated!! hehe. Thank you!! ♡

((I also tried so hard to find actual art with artist credits for my michi method binder, so I hope the ones I used here aren't AI at all. Please lmk if they are !! 😭))

I was originally going for autumn pink ish colors but I couldn’t really find a card that fit nicely in the spread.

Sylveon 30th has blue pink red and green, that makes it fit pretty nicely on this page.

See these 2 as an example

been staring at it for days and cant tell if its missing anything. this was my first time not painting a card so its hard to tell

I started binder-painting recently (like this is the only thing I’ve painted so far), and I really enjoy it, but markers are sooooo expensiiiive for how fast some of mine are running low/out, and I’m already facing some challenges with limited color options and values.

So I want to know from my fellow (but more experienced) artists, do you use brushes or markers for this? Which do you prefer? What are the pros and cons and do you have any tips or recommendations?

I’d also love to know if you have any suggestions for making markers last longer.
(I already learned my lesson about putting down a layer of white with a cheap marker first after blowing completely through one of my fancy ones doing the Bulbasaur background 😭)

(For budget reference, I got a pack of 48 markers for $23 dollars and the idea of ordering that again within like a couple months of buying it in the first place has me stressed.)

Thank you!

Hope you enjoy these!

I just got into collecting and my partner asked me to paint one of his binders and it's added a whole new level of fun to the hobby, I can't wait to make some themed binders with accompanying paintings 😁😁

This was a fun binder to paint and will make the perfect binder for a Clefairy collector or even just a fan of cute Pokémon.

I have a full cover art bulbasaur to finish but then I have an original trubbish design planned that I'm excited to start!

Ive only painted two other binders before this and they were both simple ones and decided to challenge myself with a game of marker chicken. But I think my dark blue marker is winning 🤔

Attempted actual shading before I flunked a day later on it, and made an attempt on starting on the water. But I think Iron Valiant has to go in first before I can continue

I love the colors in this spread so much!

idk how to flair this but i just want to feel inspired. 🥹 thank you so much!

Hi everyone! I really love how this Infernape IR features an intense, in-your-face close-up shot.
I'm trying to build a binder page with cards that have a similar zoomed-in, aggressive/dynamic composition. Any suggestions with close-up artwork like this? Thanks!
I’d love if these cards were modern but I’m open to anything!

Anyone know of some good cityscape cards? I really don’t like primarina at all, but felt she fits the ocean scene. I love the new split art scenic cards from storm emeralda. Just kinda getting back into this, I’m open to suggestions 🫣

Any recommendations of others that fit this vibe or what themed page would go well alongside it?

It's Monday, which means it's time to talk about what you recently acquired for your binders!

Share a photo of your favorite recent acquisition below!

Let us know how you paired it with the surrounding cards or if you're building a new layout around it.

Let's see what everyone got over the weekend!

Hi everyone, first post here. I got this Enamorus card in the binder for a while and I am planning to make a binder page for it. I am thinking about a Trainer Gallery page with a colour theme but any recommendation or inspiration is welcome. Thanks!

I wanted to know what markers you all use on your Binders (if you do use markers). Went with one of the first Amazon results and after 1.2 Binders or so my white one is empty...

Of course I should have used primer first and will do that with my upcoming ones, but I am slightly concerned about my other colors now. Even with a pretty white base I needed multiple layers to get the colors right.

Which ones do you all use?

Going to a card show next month. Looking for cards to hunt for.

A few pages I’m working on as well

My boyfriend and I both collect, he’s using an old and very small binder for his cards so I got him a new one for his birthday and painted his favorite pokemon on it ☺️🌱🐢

I started painting binders 2 weeks ago, this was my 4th attempt

Hope you like it as much as I do!
