Typography Illustration of Oscar Wilde

As Ive been wanting to practice and perfect my typography a lot more, I decided to create another typography illustration, of a quote from Oscar Wilde.

As I started researching some quotes and sayings to illustrate I instantly liked the one that I’m showing you now, ‘True friends stab you in the front’ – a clever and funny quote which packs a punch straight away.

After drawing thumbnails in my sketchbook, I came up with a composition that I was happy with, and drew a final illustration to be scanned into Photoshop. This was a different medium from which I usually work with, but I think I’ll try and produce another typography illustration using gouache and painting, the way I really enjoy!

I’m really interested in typography and hopefully I can transfer this into my Illustrated maps and other later projects.

Many thanks for listening and visiting my news page today. You can follow what I’m up to on my Twitter, Facebook or Google + pages, I’ll really appreciate it if you do, and don’t be afraid to say hi to me! Many thanks again, and have a great day!
