Lately, I've been lettering the words "raspberry" and "angry" a lot. Maybe because nobody buys raspberries in my neighborhood, so the grocery stores stopped stocking them 😭🍇 Pen: Pentel Aquash Water Brush Paper: Sax 90 lb Watercolor Paper Paint: Kuretake Gansai Tambi Water Colors 36-color set

Some morning lettering. 🎨 I chose this quote because I need more motivation to paint creatures! 😢 If you had a sudden burst of motivation, what would you do with it? #handlettering #handdrawntype #moderncalligraphy #modernlettering #dailytype #typedaily #staymotivated #fearoffailure #calligraphylove #calligrabasics #calligraphynewbie #calligritype #calligrafriends #brushscript #motivationalquotes #nothingsimpossible #tombowdualbrushpens #letteringpractice #penart #inkdrawing #dailydoodle #dailylettering #dailyillustration #kidsillustration #believinginme #creaturefeature #makemoreart #calligrapher #handletteredquotes #handdrawn

The original coyote illustration 🐕 it was my first time trying paper from this bookbinding kit sample 😄 which turned out to be pretty decent quality for watercolors
