Day 6

"I'm under construction.."

Today's post I attribute to my coffee date this morning.  Upon pastry selection, I ordered something sweet and she ordered something savory.  A nice juxtaposition to our budding friendship.  The depiction still a work in progress, but the idea is solid. I feel like I'm getting so much better at mapping out my letters.  All of sudden it is really beginning to make sense.  Now instead of spending loads of time researching, I am able to essentially incorporate an idea to paper by solely experimenting with shapes and natural intuition.  Of course my rulers are in full effect.  And what would I do without my protractor?  Awwww, circle of life.

COOL TIP: Writing out the words that you will be hand-lettering will aide in layout, character spacing, em space, etc...It helps to begin to piece the word or words together in a balanced fashion. 

SIDE NOTE: I am finding that I really lean towards a roundedness in my lettering....hhmmmm...keep going down that road or try some more sharply defined letters?...might as well try to become more well-rounded, am I right?!?!  - sorry, had to do it :)
