About the final project for: Design and Creation of Chalkboard Lettering

Design and Creation of Chalkboard Lettering

“Congratulations, you have reached the end of the course! It has been a long road but now you have everything you need to start your project. Before saying goodbye, I would like to give you some last tips: Take time to research and think about your idea. Many times we die to start drawing without having a very clear idea. Let the idea mature along with the research, the sketch stage will flow much better.

Don't stay with your first idea. always tries to go further, many times the first idea is the most obvious, he explores various possibilities and then choose the best one.
Patience and good humor. The good thing about chalk is that if you make a mistake it rubs off, the bad thing about chalk is that if you do something right, you rub it and it also rubs off. Be careful when drawing and if by chance you erased something, breathe and do it again.
Be flexible. Sometimes the design looks great on paper but big on the board, some ideas may not work as well. Do not marry finishes or details that do not work and think of a variant that may be better. The design is in the details: use the swab and the eraser, refining small details make the difference.
I hope you enjoyed the course and that it is a good starting point for all the creations you will make. Do not forget to use the forums to show your progress to the community, I will also be there to answer your questions. When you have your final project developed, share it! I have left you some tips in unit 5 on how to do it. See you on the forum! ”
