Hi, Gang.
Isn’t this fun? You are rockin’ it! I am seriously addicted to #myGTSprep!
Remember, while the Global Talent Search Prep is to help you prepare for the Global Talent Search, anyone can join in!
Today, your assignment is to illuminate the letter “S”. This will be great prep for the Global Talent Search. (Tip: Including lettering in your art is a great way to increase income because you are up for more job possibilities. Art directors often look for artists that can do lettering.)
I’m going to show you a bunch of sample illuminated letters. But you need not do the letter in this classic way. In fact, do it in your own way, in your own style. You are simply embellishing the letter “S”.
Some tips (All images from Milliande Printables)
I’m using the letter B for these examples. But you’ll do the letter “S”.
Tip #1: Notice how the whole letter fits in a square.
Tip #2: Think about contrast. The white letter pops out against the black background. (Also, dig the creepy characters imbedded inside the letter.)
Tip #3: Here, the serifs are formed into leaves. This is a highly-embellished letter, but it is still (just barely) legible.
Tip #4: Here, the serifs are formed into leaves. This is a highly-embellished letter, but it is still (just barely) legible.
As always, do not copy.
Share your drawings on social media and be sure to include #myGTS prep. I can’t wait to see what you draw!

Sometimes it’s really nice to have a really narrow subject to draw, and then explore it fully. In this case, it’s the letter “S”.
With affection,
Lilla
