stupid blogger put them backwards... but here are my sketches for the first 3 letters... im not using the painting as my finished product, but as a starting base for these drawings that im going to ink and scan before coloring.... by class i plan to have a few more letters done....

does the B look enough like a B? i feel like its a bit of a stretch...

took another stab at this thing.... here are a few variations....

this is where its at right now, very far from being ready but as you can see i worked with the idea of making the size of the circles represent precentages... next step for me is going to be adding more color.... lots and lots and lots and lots of colors.... also maybe working with the type in the circles a bit....
