As I mentioned in a previous post, another instance of creative serendipity struck me a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been running with it ever since. I stumbled upon a new lettering style as I was using my Tombow brush pens and I’ve continued to play with it to see how much I could perfect it.

I found a new lettering challenge on Instagram that I can already tell I’m going to enjoy immensely–#TogetherWeLetter hosted by @lissletters (I’ve reposted the prompts below). There’s a lot of latitude in what you can do with the one-word prompts.
As I was working on simply drawing the letters for today’s prompt “Learn”, I happened upon a new technique for me. I achieved it completely with my Tombow brush pens in various shades of blue (except for the white highlights that were from a white Sharpie). I got the three dimensional effect by layering the colors on top of one another to create a smooth gradient. I will definitely be exploring this technique further. Maybe I’ll do this challenge’s prompts like this for the whole month. We’ll see.
