Lately I've been getting into custom type and exploring letterforms. These are the first of my now many type sketches. Yeah, not that impressive, but just wait until you see where I go from here! When drawing letters, as in most areas of my life, it's hard breaking out of my comfort zone. With these little sketches, there's no pressure. Unfortunately, I tend to draw the same curves or use the same line quality in a lot of them. I should probably use a different medium than pen or pencil just to free up my strokes a bit. My fear of failure and imperfection, however, holds me back. Wow. The biggest problems of my life drastically affect the art I create. I want my art to be its own entity and breathe its own life, not be tainted with my shortcomings. Is it possible to make a more conscious effort to control subconscious thoughts?
