One of my intentions during ICAD is to work on my handlettering skills. Uh, I think I have hand lettered on exactly one index card so far. So for the next week I will hand letter, although t idea of handlettering an entire phrase or quote is too scary so I think will just do a letter. D for Doreen.
I started with a really simple one. Just drew a lower case d and watercolored around it. I wish I had added a little more interest...I stuck to one color and didn't even vary the shade. When I went back and looked at my inspiration I realized how boring mine was. I'll definitely do this again. In fact the place where I got the inspiration made them as note cards and I may just do that.
