So true (god, I've changed the color palette like so many times... and I'm still not happy about it)

The “draft”: (made on probably on paint lol)

The perfect quote by Oscar Wilde

I started this one on the tablet, came back to the paper to straight the ideas, and then back to the tablet haha Sadly I forgot to save the first draft made.

The word "front" on this one was the most difficult part of any lettering I've made so far (the second place goes to "self-esteem" on the Halsey’s quote posted on January 16 lol)

The paper draft: (as you can see, the front was changed — many times):

The tablet draw:

Cleaned on Illustrator w/o color:

Some commissions made using existing fonts

1) First sleepless nights 2) Ho'oponopono (in Portuguese) 3) God is good and forever will be good

Some sketches from my old journals (mid 2018). Maybe I finish them someday :)

“Make plans with those who wish to be by your side” (out/2020)

The draft:

This one was not clean on Illustrator ;)

I really enjoy making (and watching) these timelapse videos haha but I didn't like the lettering very much... I may redraw this one later.

The sketches:

[thaeren]

Definitely not my best one, but I still like it because of the "techniques" I've tried to use lol. The gradient, the shadows... I haven't been using them much lately, I should use more in my future designs.

The ugly sketches:

The thumbnails/drafts date July 2018, while the finished one is from October 2020.

This is probably my favorite one so far and I didn't make sketches at all. One day I was watching something on Netflix and the inspiration just clicked. I wish I had filmed tho... RedBubble Teespring

[thaeren]

Good Lord, give me straight to finish this letterings on Illustrator, amen

[thaeren]

This design is available on my RedBubble Store!

1) Thumbnails

2) Drawn on tablet

3) Finished on Adobe Illustrator

[thaeren]

With this one I've cut some steps: it went from thumbnail to tablet (no draft) and from tablet to Instagram (no Illustrator) ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

The thumbnails:

[thaeren]

This was one of the drafts I've made in mid-2018 but only actually draw in 2020 — when I bought my tablet. I finalized in Adobe Illustrator and couldn't really pick one color palette, so it's different on Instagram haha

1) Early thumbnails:

2) Final draft — with a different proposal for the "self-esteem" part

3) Tablet work

4) Finalized on Illustrator

Once a got to the tablet I really struggle to keep the cursive style, so I decided to chance. And that improved a lot the readability.

Yesterday I made my first time-lapse lettering! I still have to finish it on Adobe Illustrator  😅
