How to Become a Pokemon Card Illustrator
First off, you gotta have mad art skills, cause illustrating Pokemon cards is all about bringing those creatures to life in a unique way. Build up a portfolio that showcases your talent in character design and your ability to work in various styles, especially ones that might align with the Pokemon universe. Networking is key, so start mingling in the industry through social media, conventions, and Pokemon TCG events. You never know when you might catch the eye of someone from Creatures Inc. or The Pokemon Company.

It's a tough gig to get into. Loads of talented artists out there are trying to do the same thing. Focus on developing a unique style that can stand out.
Honestly, just start drawing Pokemon for fun and share your work online. Platforms like Instagram or ArtStation are perfect for getting your art noticed. The more you engage with the community and showcase your passion for Pokemon, the better your chances are. Who knows? Your next fan might just be someone who can offer you that golden opportunity.
I actually got to design a card once! Worked on my portfolio for years and consistently posted my Pokemon art online. One day, I got a DM from a smaller card game company who loved my work. It wasn't Pokemon, but it opened doors. Moral of the story? Keep creating, sharing, and networking. Your break could come from where you least expect it.
