Here’s a sketch in progress of formal script with orderly letters all lined up to contrast
Here’s a sketch in progress of formal script with orderly letters all lined up to contrast against the loose quality of the swashes. This is the fourth iteration of this piece, each one refined further. After the initial line drawing, I add contrast by building up the weight in layers, rather than drawing an outline of where the weight would be added, then filling it in. I’ve found that building up the weight optically in layers helps train my eye on proper balance, consistency and proportion. Anyone else use a similar process? And for all the fellow lefties, note that I’m drawing from the bottom right to the top left. You know why! #lettering #script #leftypower -- source link
