THE BRIEF

Word: OUI

Via Procreate:

"Including precision design controls such as kerning, leading, and baseline empowers professional designers to use Procreate as a versatile tool for drafting layouts like magazine covers, and enables comic artists to add lettering directly to their artwork. Presenting these controls as a series of simple sliders makes designing beautiful typographic arrangements so fun and easy, anyone can do it."

THE PROCESS

I chose a Gallic rooster (le coq gaulois) as my subject matter, and surrounded him with botanical elements that are all native to or prized in France.

I began with a simple rooster outline before refining linework and layering color into the composition.

The Text tool is an undoubtedly cool feature.

For this drawing, I created the woven-type illusion by keeping some illustrated elements on higher layers than others. Ultimately, no matter what the text says, the illustration will appear to weave and overlap it.
