Drawing Pictures! That's part of this fun step in learning about reading Tarot Cards. We all get to re-design our favorite card. Well, lets get back to reality here. Your artistic ability is not being tested.
Mary starts off step 16 in her book by showing us cards from the Stick Figure Tarot which is based upon Lar deSouza's design and the Waite-Smith tarot. We can use stick figures, fully shaped figures, color or black & white, regular size or blown up to a larger size. All of that sort of detail is up to us.
We are to "draw" our card so as to have it represent the essential elements as we see them. The point that Mary makes is that sometimes we just don't see details until we draw them -- then they pop out.
Step 16:1. Do a basic sketch of your chosen card (or any other card) using any medium, style, coloration or level of detail (or lack of detail) as you wish. Then state what you discovered that you hadn't noticed before?
Thats it. Like some of the other "simple" tasks, I suspect we get out of this what we put into it. So, consider not being superficial but instead being very observant. I think we might really discover something here. If you try but don't seem to be getting anywhere, you can consider using another card. I wouldn't jump to another card without trying to work with the first card in a diligent manner. Have fun. Dave
