Letter-by-Letter Exercise: ‘Courage’
Pencil in the letters.
Trace over the letters with a pen.
Erase the lines. Instead of doubling up all the lines, I added loose lines to the inside left and outside right of each letter.
Add details, such as tiny lines, in the white space between the doubled-up lines.
Now it’s time for you to practice drawing letters and words. Mix up the upper- and lowercase letters with different styles, and practice, practice, practice.
Tips from Stephanie
Adding Icons
The word “key” jumped out to me in this verse, and I knew that doodling a little key would be just right. I simply took a key off my key ring, traced it with a pencil, and then went over the lines with a pen. To finish, I erased the pencil marks and doubled up the lines.
Carving Words
To carve out a letter or word, the image needs to be in reverse so that it reads the right way once it is stamped.
Using Color
When I add color, I don’t “paint” in strokes. I simply blot the brush and move color around the art. This eliminates streaks and lines; it also makes it easy to start and stop.
Journaling Alternate Pages
There are many ways to document and illustrate your faith journey. I’ve found that creating art and journaling on an alternate page and adding it into my Bible takes away the anxiety of the question, ‘What if I mess up?’
