somebody emailed me to ask for tips on finding style, so i'm gonna share my thoughts here, too: first of all, don't worry about what you're good at it, or what you want your art to look like. figure out what's fun about the /process/ for you and lean into those elements!

Thank you! Sorry...I looked around and didn't think to look there. I am STILL all social media obtuse it seems! 🤓❤️

Charlene, would you mind resending me the Discord link, please? I can't seem to find that and I was unable get to it in time (if it was time sensitive). Merci! 💜

Ah! Well, one rule of thumb I (try to) do is not to make the work any harder that it already is, or create more work for myself if I don't have to (Do I listen to myself though...?😂😉) However, I get it. The idea sounds cute! 👍😍

Heh! Is this for a client, & in the art notes or MS? If so, I would go back to them & say, "Uhm...This takes fingers..." 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes we don't think things through. 😉

To add: And in my book, that's a successful logo!

Maybe! 😄 As for as readability of this logo, as someone who has been around since it's inception, it is not something I ever dissected or looked at closely. You didn't need to. A quick glance, and you knew whose it was. It wasn't good or bad, you just knew it was CB! Patrons just went for the food!

It's a bean?! Do they have pinto beans on the menu? It's been a while since I went to one. I think they used to have endless cornbread. Mmmm!

Right? 😂 I saw that, too, so assumed it was a cracker! Since none of us are sure, I think that says a little something about the old logo (which I thought was fine; never looked at it closely).

I've only done one book series & I blindly figured out things that worked for me. E.g., I left notes that said what pen & size I used on an image. 2nd time around, I made character pages (cut/pasted multiple samples of a character on a page) to refer to. It would be helpful to hear other tools, etc.
