Curiosity - student project

Hello!

I started designing this ambigram as a part of a lettering project I was already working on before I found this class. My method (which was just random sketching) was all over the place and your lesson, tips and tricks made such a difference - thank you so much!

Here are my initial sketches:

Curiosity - image 1 - student project

I thought the blackletter version could work really well, made some more sketches...

Curiosity - image 2 - student project

There were several challenging points, but I think I finally managed to slot them together in a pleasing and readable way:

Curiosity - image 3 - student project

This is the version I'm currently at - inked, but not final.

Curiosity - image 4 - student project

I would like some feedback at this point, before I finalize it in Ai.

Looking at it now, I'm thinking of keeping all strokes the same weight (thin out straight strokes in C and y but make curves thicker).

All feedback welcome! Thank you!
