Hi There! 
 
I want to shop you step by step work on the handlettering piece "Love is in the air" for private client.
 
Directions from the client were the following:
- all letters should form a one piece, so that it's possible to cut the whole quote from one piece of material
- style should be romantic, but modern and not too girly
 
Initially I made two sketched - one with all caps and another with sentence case as client wanted to see how both would look.

Client chose second sketch but asked to connect lower words so the base would feel more stable. I added a swirl and made it similar to one on the top.

Client liked this sketch and I moved to inking stage. After drawing the quote with ink on paper I digitized it and traced into vector. I presented two variations to the client - one with texture and one without it. Client liked "clean" one better.

Final quote was cut from wood and painted red.
