#initial caps

When classes and other organized groups come to our special collections we like to pull out all the stops, and also pull out type to help everyone understand more clearly the process and steps in printing these wonderful hand-made books we have...

Initial cap for a Dinotopia novel. With brush and ink you can go for a rhythm and music to drawing that’s not really possible in paint.

I’ve been taking different approaches to my letters depending on the design. The coins were easy enough, though tedious, with the amount of copying and lining up I had to do. I think the crystal K was my favorite this far, maybe because I love crystals, but also because I had fun going through textures and working on the line weight to come to something I felt was accurate enough. I’m still unsure how to feel about the match-smoke R, since I want it to have nice color, but so far the gradient in black and white is making me feel iffy. I haven’t yet made many changes to my designs.
