The messy watercolor style is so versatile: add as much or as little mess as you’d like, but make sure nothing is perfect! Let the perfectionist pressure go and simply have fun making a mess 😉 While my new course focuses heavily on illustration, I thought it would be fun to share how I apply this style to lettering this week. This will give you a peek into the messy process and you can even use the free sampler brushes I gave away last week for it!

I’ve had a few requests on how to replicate the look of the incredible artwork by Eiko Ojala and I’m so excited to share my interpretation of it this week. This week’s tutorial is a little more advanced, but I have tutorials for every part I speed through and I’ve linked to all of them under the video if you’d like a more thorough explanation. This technique can be used for so many cool applications – logos, greeting cards, branding, web graphics, etc. We’ll start out in Illustrator creating our organic shapes and finish everything up in Photoshop, adding in shadows and textures to complete the layered letter look. See how it all comes together below!
