    Which direction is the light source coming from?

  5. Dan says:

    @m,
    No, it’s lettering, but it’s a fine example.

  6. J.T. shaver says:

    Is this really necessary for a plus tutorial? It’s just draw something, trace it with the pen tool, and color it in…?

  7. sean steezy says:

    thats totally awesome. or you could say radical, gnarly, tubular, and also, cowabunga.

  8. Sean Hodge says:

    Hey everybody. Thanks for the correction. I think “Lettering” rather than “Typography” would have been more appropriate. At this point though, it’s a bit late to change the title. I appreciate the feedback though.

  9. Dan says:

    @Sean,
    This type of work is unfortunately underrated. I, for one, would really like to see more lettering and typography inspired tuts.

    @Rodrigo,
    I hope this is the first of many.
