Hand-lettering
These letters were created to hand-letter the cover for a new story I am working on.

The process starts with me sitting in a coffeeshop, subway, or park, and creating the initial forms of the letters. I take a snapshot of the page, bring it into Photoshop, and then laboriously create many dozens of layers of colour, with varying opacity.

Oddly, my hand-lettering is more balanced if I create the letters backwards -- which is the case here.
