Letters by Lydia: Fun Process

Hi y’all!

This week I just have a fun little post of some lettering I did today, inspired by the warm weather!

When I’m lettering for fun, I typically follow a pattern: I’ll start by filling a page with bare bones lettering, nothing fancy.  After that, I’ll go through a do a couple rounds additions to each word, until I like how they all turn out.  Today I also tried something new and added a bunch of fun little doodles around the words, which I think really brought the page together.  I hope you enjoy!


Industrious Illustrating #24 – A New Year

Happy 2023, and welcome back to another semester of Industrious Illustrating! While I’ve been busy with a lot of things these past few weeks that hit me one after the other, I did at least find the time to cobble together a 2022 art summary showing off some of my favorite works from last year by month. In 2023 I’m hoping to further strengthen and diversify my illustrative skills, while also putting more work into projects such as “Flamechaser” and tabling at more conventions.

In terms of what I’ve been drawing lately, I’ve been trying to get back into the flow of freely sketching, as I haven’t been working in my sketchbook as much as I used to. Here’s a few sketches I made recently from life and from photographs I took in Portugal:

See all of you again next week, hopefully when I have more to show for artistic output!
