I study flourishes lately and i created a project to practice.
I selected a phrase from a favourite song by Daft Punk,
HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER.
I started sketch the phrase on paper and pencil just to experiment with balance and connections.
I ended up on 2 versions with different flourishes and letter heights.
The first one was with standard letters and the second with more bouncy ones.
Then I roughly ink them just to see how they look and to decide the final design.
I chose the first one and then i made the pencil lines more visible to go further.
Then, I went to a bigger scale and ink the piece with a Tombow brushpen.
After that i wanted to create a digitized version based on the pen tool in Illustrator.
I made a monoline version of the phrase in black & white and a final piece with shadows and 3d effects.
