‘Chaos’ | Daily Drawing #362
A graffiti-styled piece. I wanted the letters to appear to be in motion but designed each letter so that they flowed together. I added motion lines to surround the letterforms to add more ‘chaos’.
The letterforms were hand sketched then traced in the Vector Machine.

'Say Yes to New Adventures' | Daily Drawing #360
The time off during the holidays has allowed me to go back and do some lettering on paper and pencil, just like in the olden days when everything was black and white and there was no inter-webs.
This composition was done with a Tombow Dual Brush Marker, then cleaned up slightly with a fine line marker. I scanned the piece and intentionally left the dust and noise and pumped up the contrast to show the brush strokes. Sometimes the imperfections make it better!
