Nat'l. Candy Corn Day

This one is from 2019.
(lettering challenge on IG)

It was actually a sketch turned into the final piece.
Was pretty happy with this idea, but after some comments on IG (good ones!) wish I had planned it out better. I could always redo, but was happy that came together (somewhat) as i did it.

I did the candy corn first in watercolor, trying to make each one in the shape of the letter. Then, I lettered over it in marker. The IG comments were about how clever it was that some of the pieces fit perfectly into the letters ("N" & "Y"). SO, wish I had done the same with all the letters (esp. with the A -- cap vs. lc). Not sure it that means lettering first, then adding wc or what.

Still, I was happy with all of it!  :)
