Me like, too. holy cow.

I like your idea of doing designs for the whole alphabet. I clicked the wrong thingy and went to your H design and thought of the same project, jeez we think alike sometimes.

Let me suggest a different kind of tool that may save you whole bunches of time on a project that size -- Inkscape or any other SVG authoring tool.

For one thing you can make a representation of each letter in SVG (which is a dialect of XML) which you can then scale up or down any amount and you don't get ANY pixellation. And you can re-use them in other projects.

Second, for the designs around them, making them exactly symmetrical becomes super easy. You just make, say, the left half of the design, then with maybe 3 or 4 mouse- clicks, you duplicate it, flip the duplicate left for right, then flip it top for bottom, then shift it to the other side of the pic. No rulers, just bang, bang, bang and you're done.

To illustrate, I just now did an SVG version of the letter H based on a reference I found, I'll post it in a bit

I've been planning to do designs including the whole alphabet for months, well before I ever made H. What got you started, just seeing mine?

And, I don't have Inkscape or an SVG tool, and wouldn't know how to incorporate images like that into photoshop projects anyway, so I guess I'll just stick to my methods

Yup, just seeing yours.

Inkscape is a free download, like everything I use. It's an SVG tool. There may be others, but Inkscape seems to be the most popular.

Photoshop wouldn't ever need to get involved if all designs are like the ones so far, the easiest way would be to work 100% in Inkscape. But at any point you could export to a raster format like jpg and paste into Photoshop, though in doing that you'd lose the flexibility that svg gives you.

Very cool.

The only issue I have with it is the simplicity.


90% of the pieces I do are emotional...when I started working on L, I was kinda upset, and relieved my stress through the design. Taking the easy way out kinda depletes the stress relief for me. I like being semi-complicated with the way I do art-related things simply because it forces me to focus on them which distracts me from the stress

I understand, I think. That's not why I do artwork, but I do other things for that reason. There was a time when I'd go out back and work on a tree that I was chopping up into small pieces. More recently I'd go out and kick a tree or a post. (Being careful not to break my foot!)

Not everything about Inkscape is easy. I had the very devil of a time learning how to draw Paths in it. It works different from GIMP. It's easy once you figure it out, though.
