Reading what Sheila Waters says about not always relying too heavily on pencil guidelines, I felt it was time I let go a bit. I don't think I have ever been brave enough to do anything without guidelines before, but I did this without doing any preparatory marking up at all. The Ojibwa symbol of the eagle I got off the 'net, and it was simply a case of making my lettering fit below the wingspan. (Pity it is not lined up a bit better.) So the lettering was done completely freehand, and I surprised myself! Close, but no banana.
