Here is a rough sketch for one of the murals I have to do for Paris Fire Brigade. I was mostly working on the placement of all the elements, so some things may change in the final. Will probably make the three objects at the bottom bigger, and maybe keep the lettering on a curved baseline like I did in some attempts in my last shot, to give a better impression of depth. The wall it will be painted on is pretty big, I hope it will looks good !
Um, this is amazing (and sorry for abusing the 'like' button on all of your shots in a row). Love, love that top left one but all of them have something to like. The overall style exploration is so varied too, it's wonderful to look at.
Thanks @Claire ! Top left one is my favorite too, but I feel like it wouldn't have fit well with a background scene and objects around. I think this type of lettering needs space around to really pop up due to its very thin weight, but I really enjoy drawing those letters!

Your pen looks like an illustration on the paper. Weird!

@Emir Ayouni | Growcase| Growcase Thanks Emir! Nice to hear :)
@Andrew in any art supplies shop I guess, this one is a 0.3mm UNI mechanical pencil, not mine and I indeed enjoyed to work with it!
@Faheema I'll look forward for it then ;) get back to work!
@kirk thanks again ;)
