Alrighty then! Following on from my first attempt at doing my coffee spill inspired alphabet, I then had a think about where to go from it and I came up with these little ditties..
(Above: From my 100 drawing project I did, inspired from that I decided to use a not so everyday object to just to try and draw my alphabet and just to experiment with it really, on the left is what happened when i didn't control it and the coffee was watery. I didn't think the density of the coffee would be an issue but, it now was! I wanted the silky gradient of its dark tones and light ones, I liked the weight and pull of the liquid when it doesn't set in the paper and creates those flowing curves that coffee does when spilled.. So, I attempted to do it again, because, why not! on the right is my second attempt and I am pleased to say, I am way happier with that outcome than the first! I used the straw, but this time the coffee was stronger and I controlled a touch more, just so it doesn't become one big puddle.
To give it that naturally flowy feel, I shuffled the paper around slightly, knocking the liquid to merge with its neighboring letter and I was elated! It worked out a treat! All I needed to do now was to finish it up!)
Done! I didn't do much to it, as I liked how it looked, I just neatened it up a little bit, enhanced its colours and sharpened the edges to refine it ever so slightly, then BOOM, Alphabet is sorted and I couldn't be happier aha!
