Letter writing is really interesting to me. Over lockdown, I’ve been writing letters to two university friends I miss.
When I was researching my Final Major Project, I also fell in love with an essay about the significance of letter writing and physical tokens sent in letters, such as flowers, in one Dutch family in the 18th Century (I think!).
I was inspired to create an illustration that’s been heavily experimental – playing with effects and ideas.
I might create more work along this line. I feel like the textures and colours in the trail behind the letter were very successful, but that the lineart of the letter itself could be a little thinner and perhaps a different colour.
