This Illustrated Capital Letter is somewhat different from the other ones I've published here. This Letter, besides keeping its original shape, without any kind of alteration, there's a scenary inside it! And what scenario! Nothing more and nothing less than the Opera! Yeah, she's singing in the enormous box, with the background of some clouds behind her, drawn with little points, giving it the minimalistic texture of the clouds.Β 

The structure of this process is simple, but not the elaboration. First of all, I've made the Capital O with a compass, and I've adapted the round form with elegant forms, adapted to the context (an opera is always elegant), and I've drawn the elements of the opera and outlined with a thin calibrated marker (0.05), and before paint in detail all the elements, I've coloured the letter in black.Β 

This drawing is complex; I've used many kinds of textures. Completly smooth black for spectators' places, pointed textures for the clouds, and conventional panting and shadowing with the curtains. If you see in detail the drawing, you'll see many textures worth appreciating.Β 

It's done with callibrated black markers.Β 

I hope you like itΒ πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Š
