We draw the letter E- CONTEST

in calligraphy •  5 years ago 

Hi my Steemit friends,

I missed the Letter D Contest but for this next round I made sure I will be able to participate. It was a hit or miss that I should admit and see for yourself as you read below the process when I created my entry.

This is my official entry to We Draw The Letter E - CONTEST of @ran.koree

I had to look back and see how was my progress with the previous entries I had done, the B and the C letters. The B is inspired by the banana fruit pretty obvious then the letter C is by an Aztec colors. I wonder now what will the next letter look like. I admire the works of a fellow participant @yangyanje because his or her entries look consistent. I wish I can do something similar.

For this round, my heart is divided. Do I go for a fruit inspired entry or should I continue with the Aztec inspired palette? Honestly, I started with a big circle like how I started with my letter C entry before. I felt hopeless at this point.

It could go bam or dang at this point. Let us see what happens

Yeah, you could have guessed it as I added that part in the middle to make it look like an E. What else?( Yawns) ah random dots here and there let us see.

Looking like a moon with craters so I just added those zodiac lines randomly and lazily. It is a come what may at this point. I do not like what is on my screen grrrrr.

Oh that cheesy moon again. I did that already on my letter C entry. Sigh. So I decided to cut the plump edges and turned them into boxy sharp lines. I am liking it at this point. Gave me enough momentum to proceed. I retained the craters and zodiac lines then added some shadows and lights. The crack in the middle helped define the letter E better. That is the most important decision I made for this piece. I am happy now.

The letter is fighting to be recognized still so I decided once again to trim the sides and make them look sharp and linear. Another best decision I made for this entry. I could not be happier. Whew. I almost gave up and might have opted for the previous plump look but I am glad I took that courage to edit some more.

Thank you very much hope you enjoyed reading my journey.
