PHINEAS & FERB Sketch Cards are HERE!

I did 15 Phineas and Ferb sketch cards soon after I created my own sketch card as the cartoon series returned the airwaves. Each card was thought out and drawn with care like I did with my Upper Deck/Fleer Scooby-Doo cards. I used the same process and materials to create them, but the interesting thing is that I had a hard time making the art "pop" off the cards as Phineas and Ferb doesn't use any character shading. They use color line holds instead which creates a great look, but you can't do that on a sketch card. Everything just looked flat. To get around this problem I decided to add a white outline around the characters which I painstakingly painted with a "0" size brush. The photo above shows me doing it. I used a small art brush as it worked much better than using a messy paint pen. Yes, this took time, but it was worth it!

I wanted to cover the icons of the show and when you look at them all together they almost form a storyline of an adventure. It was not planned that way, but the overall result looks great! I wanted them to be colorful and exciting!

Since I'll be selling them, I tried to think of scenarios that would be appealing to fans of the show. When I was done I took a photo of them all laid out before I scanned them.

I tried to create an equal balance of Phineas and Ferb cards and Agent P and Doof ones, with some love for Candace thrown in.

Here is a scan of the final inked cards! I left some pencil lines on the cards to use a guide for where coloring effects would be done. I took a good amount of time making a color key guide that matched the style guide colors for the characters and backgrounds. I think I nailed it well although it took a couple trips to the art store to buy the right marker colors. 

The end result was that they came out really cool and they really do pop off the cards! These should be available to purchase soon!
