New painting time! Step one is a general letter spacing sketch (seen here, although it is super light). I use Dr. Ph. Martin& #39;s concentrated water color. They are liquid droppers, and I& #39;ve had them for about 5 years and they still have plenty of product.
I paint the letters segmented without planning where the segmentation will take place. I just go with the flow and paint shapes close to one another. I make a lot of mistakes... But I dont worry about them yet.
So now I& #39;m gonna continue "inking" my letters. I don& #39;t start in with color until all the black paint is laid down. I will continue this thread when I move on to the next step!
With this line of lettering complete, I& #39;m gonna erase my sketch lines (I use this cool tiny mechanical pencil style eraser)
I& #39;m going to add a smaller line of text above, but here is some completed lettering.
The lettering is complete!
I chose a color pallete of cool icy blues and purples. I am randomly going in with my different colors, and I am painting small shapes

I tend to start in a blank area and work my way up the the lettering. If I were smart, I would start by going around the lettering.
Color done! Time for white touch ups.
I& #39;m using a white uniball signo pen to fix some of the white separation.
Some finishing touches
