AFP tarot - sketch

I'm feeling somewhat better today. I'm starting to get the feeling I might not make it through the term before needing to move out, but we'll see what happens.

Here's the sketch for my Amanda Palmer tarot card:


It was approved by the project leaders last night, so I'm prepping today and will start actually painting tomorrow. The painting's going to be 9"x16.5" on board with a wooden support frame in the back, which will also come in handy for hanging it. ;P

AFP tarot - board/"canvas"

I built the support I'm going to be painting on today. It's 1/8" masonite/tempered board on 1x2" poplar, 9x16.5" in all. The back frame is a smidge too short, so the bottom of the board overhangs a bit, but I don't think it's too noticeable.

I'm going to try and get it gessoed tonight before bed, that way I can start in on it first thing in the morning. :)
