So this year I’ve been playing with the idea of portraits tied in with self and external perception, and lettering. And it’s so far involved a very quiet and slow process of asking some people I find really intriguing to share with me a favourite image of themselves and also a favourite quote. The image below is a very messy preliminary sketch of a the gorgeous Kyra who currently lives in New York. I actually got distracted doing the lettering and ended up just throwing all of the words in together multiple times just to play around with the concept. Thats what one gets when you mix Netflix and serious sketching time! 🙂
