Lake Texoma

This is page one of a two page spread of our Fourth of July weekend at the Lake Texoma. I sketched the lettering lightly with a pencil, using neat block lettering, and expanding each letter until it was the correct size. The outline of each letter was traced in with dark blue, and filled in with a lighter blue. Black dots were added on top. Although it's not entirely evident from this picture, I made a thick blue border in matching blue, with another dashed border just inside.  I have a secret trick for making nice, fat, straight borders: painter's tape!! Yep!! That low-tack tape used for painting your walls can be used as a guide for making your own borders.
