Typo Friday #10: Keep Your Eyes On Your Own Paper

For this week’s Typo Friday, I thought I’d show you the next piece in my “rules to live by” book which I started posting on Monday. I had a good time trying to recreate the look of ballpoint on faded notebook paper, using no actual notebook paper and only grayscale scans of some ballpoint scratches; otherwise it’s finished the same way I do all my illustration work.
I turned one ballpoint scribble into a brush in Photoshop, and while doing some experimenting, came upon a custom brush setting that makes a really wonderful, soft, crosshatching effect that I will almost definitely use for something soon.

I wasn’t sure how much I liked the doodled version right away, so I made another “clean” version without the doodles. It also just so happens to be available as a high quality print in my Etsy store.
I also just added a Fan Page for my art and comics and such on the Facebook. Feel free to become a fan, if you’re into that sort of thing.
