Lettering is difficult but lots of fun. I'm very new at it, but eager to get better at it. This is a logotype I made for a client. At first I drew it on a pice of paper and digitized it. After that I opened it up in adobe illustrator and followed the lines with the pen tool. I discovered that when I used the image trace function it took forever to get the smooth lines that i wanted. Am I doing it all wrong? How do you guys do it? I want every tip I can get :)
