I’m not sure if this has been done but I need some help from my fellow postcrossers! I would love to create some digital postcard designs based on your comments! This could be a detailed description, or a vague prompt! How does this work?
Step 1: You comment your idea!
Step 2: I draw out the postcard!
Step 3: I post your drawn design for anyone to download and print at their local print shop!
I thought this would be a fun idea for us to create a postcard together as a community! What are your thoughts? Lets make some postcards!
Who is this post for? Creative souls! Maybe you can’t draw a straight line but have some awesome ideas! Share them with me and I’ll do my best to make it a reality!
Please, please draw a greyhound (whippet) who is a postman delivering “happy mail letters or postcards” in his hometown. Only greyhounds are living there. Everything is colourful in this area.
Well, i already made some postcards through fiverr, but sure, we can give it a try.
What would be your main style? Even if you’re good a drawings, there are things that you can do better or like more.
Do you prefer me to give the description on here or as personal message?
I see some animals/critters people tend to not like: slugs, spiders, snakes, ticks, mosquitos… and all show their love to postcards… Like a mosquito trying to bite a person on a postcard, a spider building her web at/in a postbox to catch postcards with insekts, a snake curling up around a postcard with a mouse or a slug chewing on a salat themed postcard… ants carring away postcards with nuts (at least my ants love anykind of nuts.) a hyena chewing or drooling on a postcard with a fresh red steak… the ideas roam free so many possibilities…
Well … here’s a thought from someone who does not draw very well –
instead of the stereotypical grandparent reading a book to a child, or showing a child how to cook, or taking a child to the park, how about the grandparent (like me, with purple and blue streaks in long grey hair; purple Nana) teaching the grandchild how to select a postcard, how to draw on or write postcards, how to address them, where to place the stamp, and how to mail them at the postbox, with a final scene of the recipient receiving the card (maybe go all Christmas, and have the postcard travel to Santa, OR, have the postcard travel to the child’s favourite stuffy?) A bit of a multi-scened image. Or a series of cards. So many of us are grandparents, and it’s not easy finding a multi-generational card.
Amazing, you’re so generous and thank you for sharing your art skills with everyone:)
I am not able to print the cards but I would like to see how you visualise star wars on a 4x6 Postcard , would definitely like to see what details you add, you’ll definitely love it:)
Thank you @Oceanfun for the great Postcard design! Super fun and simple to draw! I hope to print this soon and send to a special Postcrosser! Happy happy Postcrossing!
Hmm what an interesting concept! Something that doesn’t expire? At first I thought of vampires! They definitely don’t expire But what else doesn’t expire? Honey!! And I love bees more than vampires I see on your profile that you are also a botanical lover and lover of insects! I hope you enjoy this illustration based on your comment! Thank you so much for the wonderful idea
But seriously speeking bees are in danger to desappear if we take them for granted.
This awesome card of yours is a good reminder of the situation: bees need flowers!
They among the other insects need clean poisonfree enviroment!
Would be(e) a perfect image in a campaign as cards and posters
I love your way of thinking
Keep up the good work!
And thank you once again
It’s really amazing
The post office was attacked by an army with postal barcodes on their uniforms. And the stamps defend it with different appearances. (maybe by throwing a postcard)
Thank you for sharing that song! I got the best feeling of nostalgia ever! When I was a kid I would stay up all night just to feel the cool air in the morning and share the last remaining moments I had with the stars. Kind of a relaxing comfy moment I had all to myself. Listening to that song transported me back in time! Here’s what I drew while listening to it. Thank you so much for you comment!
