ABC's of Lettering Collage

Here they are all together in a collage!

(but just the first letter)

Just missing Y (could not come up with a lettering prompt for that).

 

Z...Zig Markers

Zig markers go WAAAAAAY back. (I probably have a few that are 3 decades old!)

Wasn't sure if I wanted to do traditional italic or gestural, so I did a mixture. I probably could have done both words in this manner, but I wanted to focus on ZIG.

And this concludes my ABC's of Lettering Challenge! (check!)

Now, I just need to put all my tools and knowledge, skills, etc. to use.

 

Y...Yearning for Learning

Could NOT find a Y word, so here's what I came up with!

I have a constant Yearning for Learning with my art and lettering.

And I love it!  :)

 

X.... x-height

Full disclosure: I struggle with x-heights. I hate using guidelines; I've always felt like my lettering always looked off with or without them. Maybe I was never taught the correct way to use them? Or maybe I just need to go back to basics. (OR maybe I'm just a lettering rebel!  :D -- ding, ding, ding: we have a winner, folks!) 😄

Case-in-point:  although I like my lettering, you can see it looks off/curved, etc.

Whatever. (I'm having fun with it, and that's all that matters!)

:)

 

W...Watercolor

Another difficult prompt, BUT i came up with 2!  :)

Lettering with watercolors (Block letters and brush)

Whimsical lettering.

(practice piece)

V...Versals

 So many options for this, but here is my version...

U...Uncial

One of my all-time fave calligraphic hands!
