Lettering

I love typography. I love illustrating words. I love how many ways there are to draw the letter 's'. Of course, I also love watercolor. Here is the result of putting all of those things together.

I used a pink micron pen to outline the letters and enhance their forms. I attempted a yellow-to-red gradient on each letter - met with various degrees of success. Before things began to look over-worked, I stepped away. This is my first time attempting any sort of typography with watercolor. I believe that this is a fine starting point (with a lot of room for improvement).

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
