In his book, Arabo Sargsyan, a tarot reader and author of best-selling books on magic, reveals the secrets of creating this magical instrument. Here is a drawing tutorial, a sketchbook, and a Tarot workshop that tells you everything about creating cards.
.The first section of the book is devoted to the history and structure of the card system. You will study the symbolism of the Tarot, the meaning of the cards and their correspondences. The second section talks about drawing techniques. You’ll learn about the styles in which legendary decks were created and the materials used (technical parameters and details such as card frames and fonts are also taken into account). And the third section is a step-by-step algorithm for creating each card. Here you will find as many as 780 deck building ideas!
.Working with the book “Draw Your Tarot” is a journey of joy, surprise, search for images and impatience while the paint dries. It, like a portal, will take you into the world of a new type of art, showing you step by step how to create a mechanism called Tarot, as thin as paper, but at the same time complex as the universe.
.What is the book about?
.Do you want to learn how to draw mysterious symbols? Do you want to be the author of a deck that has no analogue in the world?

You will write stories and describe the plot of your own creations, fill them with meanings and fill out tables (very, very detailed tables). A great journey awaits you! After all, these pages contain an exotic bouquet of materials on art, painting, drawing techniques, color science and container science.
.In the book, I tried not to influence your creative process in any way, not to limit it with strict rules or anything else that might scare off your artistic muse. I offer you everything you need, but what you do with it is up to you. You will find that creating a deck will be as interesting as studying the Tarot itself.
