I have just taken several lettering and font art courses on SkillShare by Jessica Hische and I am now a devotee of her beautiful work. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to have been exposed to this artist and her work. Jessica has gotten my artistic engine roaring again, making me want to create. When someone is that good all you can do is praise them and hope it rubs off!
She is the consummate professional; hardworking (she literally by hard work carved her place in the lettering print world), concerned with every detail, and with a lot of work experience for someone her age. Here is her latest children's book she has written and illustrated (she has two so far, plus other books on lettering and fonts), 'Tomorrow I'll Be Kind.'
She incorporates her fonts beautifully into her images. I love the simplicity of her artwork which seems doable for me and similar to the style of artwork I have admired in the past and have used in my own work.
The following are pages from her book:
As you can see the type fonts are large, interactive with the characters and become the subject of the artwork. The characters are imaginative with detail that can pique a child's interest and imagination. I know it has mine! Her work has given me an idea for my own children's book from just observing and enjoying Jessica's drawings and lettering.
