- Earlier in the course I covered a fun way…to work with hand-lettering and nesting shapes.…Remember, a nesting shape…can be virtually anything you want.…So this second challenge is for you…to create a hand-lettered design…utilizing a nesting shape.…Before you start drawing do some brainstorming…and figure out a fun and clever concept…or theme you can work from.…That'll inspire you and make the whole process…easier in the long run.…
In my course Drawing Vector Graphics…I share several concepting methods…for exploring and developing ideas.…So maybe watch those, then use the methods…to brainstorm your hand-lettering ideas.…If needed, review the nesting shapes movie…from earlier in the course before you begin this challenge.…I don't want you to replicate…what you see me create in this course,…I want you to think of your own unique ideas.…Your final hand-lettering artwork…can be a simple black and white drawing,…or you can scan it in and build it out…in vector form with color.…
Either approach is fine, I'll leave that decision up to you.…
