Welcome to the world of
professional trading card art
In this special issue we take an inspiring look at the first 20
years of Magic: The Gathering and catch up with the artists
creating characters for Blizzard’s Hearthstone. If you want to
break into card art yourself, we have all the training you’ll
need starting on page 66, including the art techniques of
artists working at Blizzard and Magic: The Gathering. You’ll
learn how to paint card art characters and creatures, how to
create great compositions, how fundamental art theory can
help you create professional card art, and much more.
