You're Hand Lettered, Harry.

Lettering and illustration have both been uncomfortable places for me so I decided to take on @Jessica Hische 's new Skillshare last weekend!

Hoping to clear my head of some design cobwebs and force myself to explore uncomfortable things, I spent an inordinate amount of time designing this book cover. I mean my hand was cramping up and my pencil had to be recharged multiple times. But again, it’s not my natural habitat to design in an β€œanalogue” way (read: without Illustrator or InDesign and instead with a β€œpencil”). That said, I feel like I got to explore a lot more of my own ideas while working exclusively on paper or in Procreate, because nothing was ever particularly preciousβ€”it never looked good enough to be precious right away.

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of how this turned out. You can check out the Skillshare here: https://skl.sh/2CXnShs.
