DESIGN PROCESS:
- Select your subject. This could be a face, animal, object, etc.
- Either free hand or trace the details of a photo subject lightly with a pencil.
- Begin to add words to express yourself or the object. Style your words to create your own “fonts”.
- Begin to add detail and fill in with color.
