Text Drawings

With this project we were asked to create an image with only the use of letters. There was to be an abstract one, an expressive one and finally a representational one.

For the abstract piece, I used each letter of the alphabet once to create a flowing shape. The letters vary in size, and from that work off each other's placement but never actually touch.

The next was the expressive piece, were I used the saying "rain, rain go away." I used the free shape pen to create four different raindrop shapes and then filled each one with one of the words from the saying. Along with the large word-filled raindrops, I created a few more simply out of a "u" and upside-down "v."

The last was much more straightforward, just a representational piece. I chose to do a pocket watch, and used strictly the letter "o" to create each shape of the watch. For instance the body of the watch is a large o, while the chain of the watch is a fee flowing twirling line of small o's.
