Hello!
Here is the second lyric art post that I promised. This one is for a fan of Taylor Swift. Choosing what lyrics to write was a bit hard because there are so many great ones. But I finally settled on the classic "darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream" from Blank Space. My inspiration for the roses was the lyric "rose gardens filled with thorns" because a rose is beautiful but dangerous. I'm really proud of these pieces. The writing was done with an ink pen and filled in with a felt-tip pen. The calligraphy effect was achieved by making every line that goes down thicker. I think the bold black really stands out on the crispy white. I also decided to make the letters on the second sheet a bit more loopy to make it more interesting, and I added a classic floral border. I drew the roses with an ink pen and filled in with watercolors, so I had to be really careful not to smudge the black but I think it worked. I wish you an awesome day.
Love, Elsa
That is so beautiful! Keep up the great work! :) Have a great day!
