Lady G is my personal logo. I wanted to practice digital lettering, and working with colors and patterns. Right now she looks like me. Red hair, and always wearing blue. Who knows what she'll look like next week though.

My sketch started out with me trying to us a comma for the curve between the bottom and the top of the g. I eventually made it into a ribbon-like scarf around the top which curves into the bottom of the character.

Once in Illustrator, I traced my sketch with one line, then added end points, which gave me a guide for the thinnest sections of the character. I was finally able to finish it off by creating proportional thick vertical strokes.
