Okay, so I saw this “erotic cards” thing trending, and I was like, “What the heck, I’ll give it a shot.” I’m not really an artist or anything, but I figured it could be a fun little experiment. And maybe, just maybe, it would spice things up a bit.
First, I dug around online for some inspiration. I wasn’t really sure what I was going for, so I just kind of browsed until something clicked. I saw some cool vintage-style stuff, some really abstract things, and some, uh, very explicit things. I ended up leaning towards something a little more playful and suggestive, rather than straight-up pornographic.
Getting Started
I grabbed some plain white card stock, some colored pencils, and a fine-tipped black marker. I don’t have any fancy art supplies, so this was pretty basic. I started by lightly sketching some ideas in pencil. Lots of curves, you know? I wasn’t trying to draw anything super realistic, more like stylized figures and shapes. I think I erased more than I actually drew at this stage. It was a lot of trial and error, trying to get the lines to look…well, sexy, I guess.
- First attempt: Total disaster. Looked like a blob.
- Second attempt: Slightly better, but still blob-like.
- Third attempt: Okay, this is starting to look like something.
Adding Details
Once I had a few sketches I was মোটামুটি happy with, I went over them with the black marker. This made the lines pop a bit more. Then came the color. I decided to stick with a limited palette – mostly reds, pinks, and a little bit of black for shading. I’m no expert at shading, but I tried to add some depth to the images. I blended the colors together as best as I could with the pencils.
I also added some little details, like hearts, flowers, and some suggestive patterns. Nothing too crazy, just enough to add some visual interest. It was kind of like doodling, but with a purpose. I must say the whole thing, was pretty relaxing and fun. I also had a glass of wine, so it was nice and mellow.
The Final Result
Honestly, they’re not masterpieces. Far from it. But they’re…okay. They’re kind of cute, in a slightly naughty way. I’m not sure if I’ll actually use them for anything, but the process of making them was surprisingly enjoyable. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon, and it definitely got my creative juices flowing. I might even try making some more, maybe experimenting with different styles and techniques. Who knows, maybe I’ll get good at this eventually!
