NaArMaMo 2008, Day 29: Doctor Who Logo
This is my twenty-ninth piece for this year's (Inter)National Art Making Month, in which you create a new piece of art every day in August.
For this day's NaArMaMo art, I decided to draw the Doctor Who Logo as a header for a gallery of all this month's art.
This was drawn on a tablet PC using the airbrush tool for the logo and lens flare and a fixed opacity brush for the lettering. Total time spent about 2 hours, more than an hour of which was the lettering.
Predictably when hand lettering something without even using a grid of straight lines for guidance, the lettering looks terrible. However I thought it would be cheating to use a font (and don't have the right one). I also accidentally drew the logo too tall and didn't realise until I'd finished, so the whole thing has been squished, which is more obvious when looking at the lettering.
...it's times like this I wish I was using a slightly more feature rich drawing program that would allow me to scale individual elements on only one axis, if only so I could make the W narrower...
All that said, I'm pretty happy with how the whole thing turned out, especially when I only spent about 40 minutes on the logo and less than 20 on the lens flare.
Update 31st of August: Greatly improved the W, including making it narrower.
Now also available on a white background [link]
