Missing you

Hand-letter has always been a challenge for me. I have a hard time seeing letters as just shapes unlike other forms of illustration.

I decided that I would challenge myself and illustrate two quotes. The first is "He who conquers himself is the mightest warrior." - Leo Tolstoy and the second is "I am too nervous to eat pie." - Raymond Carver.

At this point, I ended up switching my hand-lettering project just because life got in the way and I wanted something that was a little bit closer to the heart at the moment.

I apologize for the poor lighting quality of my sketches below.
