Blogmas Day 9

This is a true representation of what had happened to me recently. I started blogmas with all of these ideas and such but as the past 9 days have gone by, I've slowly been losing my creativity and imagination. Hence today's Blogmas.

 start of with your guide lines, I pressed a little too hard on my pencil which resulted in darker and heavier lines than usual which really were a little more difficult to erase later on.

Spell out your chosen word in your chosen font, make it look good to yourself and chance if necessary. seems like I was toon heavy handed with the pencil here too.

I ended up fine lining this word twice on this occasion for 2 seperated reasons in 2 different fine liners. 1. The first new fine liner is half the thickness of my usual one and 2. when you erase the pencil from beneath said fine liner, it smudges in every direction. 

Erase your guide lines, I mean clearly you no longer need them. Tada you have a word which should be surrounded by things it creates but today it created this. I thought I'd just show you.

Blogmas Day 7

 I experimented with placement on this one and also different sizes so it's a little bit trickier doing the guide lines when you do that.

I drew and wrote in pencil and I was a little concerned that it wasn't going to look nice once it was done due to the difference between the fonts I used.

I outlined the 3d letters and wrote the thin ones and I got a little happier with how it looked.

I then filled in the gaps (but one I've only just realised) and I was more than happy now it had worked out. I let the pen dry for a few seconds and then rub out the lines.

Blogmas Day 5

                   This one is for you papa

                            Guide yourself.

Sketch out your word and in my case do it                                    like 3 times.

Fine line those punks and that's it's really                 besides erasing the pencil marks.

Blogmas Day 3

Todays word/s in a new font is...Have Yourself A Merry Christmas. I changed the sentence from the song title Have Yourself A Very Merry Christmas because I felt like I wouldn't be able to fit it all on in this chosen font.

There were many guidelines to draw in this one, it was hard to not get confused between the spaces to actually draw in and the spaces between each line for the words.

I chose to male the letter size different throughout the page just so that it wouldn't be overpowering and fill the page.

Before this step I had to re do the Christmas word because I hadn't actually has enough room for the a and s but then shrank the left side of each letter, making them skinnier so they could all fit on the same line.
