Brook Trout Poster Titling

Since this was my first non-western (US) trout poster, it seemed time to look at a different style for the titling. I looked up old covers of Field and Stream magazine for reference before developing this.

My process is to start with Illustrator and get a general sense of the lettering, in this case starting with Goudy Old Style Bold. I then printed it and began adding embellishments while tracing it. Once I had a decent copy, I scanned it, and then cleaned it up once again in Illustrator.
