    Here is my first attempt to typographic drawing.

    Recently I have been looking many cool typos on web, they made place in my head :) and I draw some letters here as I remembered : ) so I don't take full credit for some. ps, sorry for bad photo, taken with mobile under terrible light.

    attached for full view. comments are much appreciated!

    I have a lot to learn!
    thanks,

    ahaha thanks @Regina :)
    I've always loved drawing, doing my best to involve it to my digital works, I do wireframes with pen/paper, etc. but yes first time for typographic drawing :) recently I'm so much into typography!

    For a first attempt, you've nailed it. Scary to think of what you could produce with more practice!

    Looking good, but you can definitely improve them by either using a circle ruler or by vectorizing them.

    Nice one man!

    Is that B at the bottom based on Jessica Hische's Dropcap B? (I ask 'cause it reminded me right away and I recently received a print of that B in the mail.)

    I am also really digging the texture on the I.

    ah Brekk thanks for the link! I have been thinking where I remembered that one, while drawing :) as I noted at my first message, I have been looking a lot to awesome typos on web, and I draw some of them days later as I remembered :)
