Crossed Brush Studio

I finally finished the 2nd exercise in Typography class. I don't know what it is with this particular class that is making me slightly crazy. It's not that I'm not able to do the work or make the grade (I got a 98 on the 2nd exercise). I think it is the off computer hands-on work that I need to do. It requires a lot of extra time.

Here are the latest assignment pieces:

The image on the left is the original composition. I used the uppercase Q and lowercase j letterforms to create the composition. The j looks like it is pushing the Q end-over-end up a hill.

The image below is a zoomed in selection from the top right of the original composition.
