40 days of lettering...lucky day 13!



Who says the number 13 isn't lucky? I've never been superstitious about it, but it sure lent itself to a theme for the day. Obviously (hopefully), you can see that I tried to tie in various luck symbols. I don't know much about lucky cats or their origin, but they seemed to be a natural fit with this. I tried to do a slightly looser lettering feel especially for "MAKE." I used the pencil tool here for a rougher edge. This is the kind of doodled design that is difficult to know just when to stop. I just kept adding little curly q's, etc. Hopefully I stopped in time before it got too busy! Good luck with the rest of your day!!

  1. Honestly Jill I really don't know how you do it so quickly and beautifully. I like the concept of this illustration/lettering, merging together all the luck charms.

    1. Thanks Antonija, but I'm not all that fast and I sure haven't followed my initial goal of keeping these to an hour of work each. Oh well, I enjoy doing them and it's hopefully good practice! I actually thought of you when I was doing all these curly q details. You are the expert at perfecting this type of line and I was thinking what an uneven mess these are, lol.
