During the second Design workshop we worked with some typefaces and letters. There were print-outs which we could cut out. Before I did something with the M, I’ve tried different ideas. Unfortunately with no succes. It always looks better in mind than on paper. However, when I started cutting out the letter M ideas started flowing. I was wondering what I could do with these since this was the last try and therefore I was eager to make it something pretty.
Next to me there was a case with fineliners. The case was covered with leaves, the ones you find in the jungle. I got inspired by that and started to draw inside the frame of the M. While I was drawing I added more flowers and leaves (the blue ones) of my own. I use those for a long time now, and I really like drawing them.
After finishing the leaves and flowers, I started to colour, because I love colour. It worked for me. I quite like this creating though it’s not perfect but that’s ok. It was something that represented me a little bit- tough on the outside, soft in the inside.
I actually put it on my cork board so I can look at it and trying to improve the technique.
