Honestly, just use a marker for alters if you're not into the whole painting thing. It's way easier and less messy. Plus, you can get pretty creative with just a black sharpie, giving your cards some neat borders or additional elements.
MTG alters are super cool, and there are a few ways to go about it. First, you can start with simple things like extending the art of the card beyond its original border. Use thin brushes and acrylic paints, matching the colors as closely as possible. You can also go full-on custom by painting over the card with a base coat and then adding your own design. Make sure to use a varnish to protect your artwork when you're done!
