Show & Tell / First attempt at anything practical
« on: January 03, 2019, 02:51:55 PM »
So, posting any work here is intimidating. I am an abject beginner at calligraphy and this is literally my first ... anything. Other than practice pages.
I scanned it in, cleaned it up, added the glider and the drop shadow, sized it, then printed it to a waterslide. The monoline was a fountain pen, the main logo was a leonardt principal and Moon Palace sumi.
This passtime is maddening... I must have written fifty Gs trying to learn the form and at least as many copies of "Green" still can't do two in a row they way I like them. And spacing. Man, if you want to make someone miserable, teach them about kerning then get them to care about it. They'll be annoyed for the rest of their life! But it's unique and mine, so enjoy my first attempt at letter art.
