Hello Peggy!

I really want to thank you for your great and inspiring classes!

I just finished the Flourishes one and immediately started my project.

I selected a phrase from a song by Daft Punk, with a little help from your inspiring phrase.

HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER.

I started to sketch the phrase on paper and pencil just to experiment with balance and connections.

I ended with 2 versions with different flourishes and letter heights.

The first one was with standard letters and the second with more bouncy ones.

Then I ink them very roughly just to see how it looks and to decide the final sketch.

I chose the first one and then i made the pencil lines more visible to go further.

Then, I went to a bigger scale.

Then I ink the piece with a Tombow brushpen. It could be better but the first time is always tricky!

Finally I scanned the final sketch to my computer and made a digitized version based on the pen tool in Illustrator.

I really enjoy the class and the project.

I hope you like it and give me a feedback to make me better!
