Doodle 33 - The Letter P

Much like the letter K, I've written this letter thousands of times (thanks to my maiden name). I made a couple of bolder moves with some of these, but I like them.

Doodle 32 - The Letter O

O in all of it's simplicity was a bit challenging. Taking cues from various typefaces and handlettering samples I observed from my zillions of posts on Pinterest, I managed to fill up the page with no trouble!

I have nothing clever to say about this post, so here's the letter N.

Doodle 30 - The Letter M

M - you can make an M as complex or as complicated as you want. It's a strong letter and just as easy to screw up as it is to make amazing. Hopefully there are more of the latter than the former in these examples:

Doodle 29 - The Letter L

L. It's simple, just a couple of lines. Or one, if you're a lowercase lover. Either way, here is my L exploration:

Doodle 28 - The Letter K

A letter close to my heart. A letter I've written millions of times. A letter that can be kind of a pain in the ass. Still fun though :)

Doodle 26 - Intermission

I haven't had a chance to shoot the rest of the letters from my lettering exercise, so here's a doodle I did using my new Speedball calligraphy pens & ink. I bought a set a couple weeks ago and I've had a blast playing with them!

Doodle 25 - The Letter I

The simplicity of the I made it difficult to come up with so many variations. Much like the C, I looked around at various other examples of the letter on Pinterest and had a little easier time filling the page.

Doodle 24 - The Letter H

I like the letter H. This was an interesting one to work on. IT's funny - when I was working on the pencil sketches, Elizabeth (my 6-year-old) came over and said, "Mom, that doesn't look much look an H..."

Sheesh!

Doodle 23 - The Letter G

G was a tricky one - so many ways to create both the upper and lowercase versions! I also did it between coats of paint on a project for my husband out in the garage. Inhaling the fumes may have added another degree of difficulty... :)
