This is so simple, but it works! It's really cool when the word can look like the object it describes!

I pick a word randomly from the dictionary and then illustrate it!
About the illustrations
Because I want to do this as a creative exercise, I have set it up with a few rules. I pick the word at random by flipping through the dictionary and land my finger on the page. I give myself time to think about the word through out the day(a few hours or so), but I am only allowed about an hour to draw. I can use a ruler and pencil to set up a bit of a grid, but the illustration itself must be done in pen freehand. Not only am I learning a new word and expanding my vocabulary, but I am honing my typography skills and challenging my artistic abilities.
