The journey to a successful creative career is no smooth ride. The Inktober challenge allowed me to share my experiences, my values, my mindset and teach what I know.
The result was a consistent output of work, greater engagement on my socials and developing a lettering process
The Journey represents the beginnings of my new focus—typographic illustration!
I designed custom lettering pieces of key skills that have contributed to my growth this year. I limited the number of words for a punchy and concise effect.
Half way through the month I decided to switch up the series by inking my favourite gaming characters growing up. The intention – to engage with people who share similar love for game characters and send my audience on a nostalgic journey.
The biggest takeaway from this series – 90% perfect. Don't worry about your illustration piece being "not you best". Each piece is forward progress, embrace that and continue creating.
