Proud of it. It says “Nadezhda and Maksim” which are the Russian names. The wife’s name is Nadezhda meaning Hope. The husband’s name is the same as Maxim.
A part of the last class from my lettering course (which I’ve almost failed to pass). The only okayish sketches for the works were not being checked anymore and I didn’t redraw anything. Now it’s time to my own project yah!
Starting a new sketchbook but that dreaded Blank Page is mocking my hopes and dreams again...seems the only way to beat it is to doodle about it and laugh....")
