One each of the BIGGER cities in each state is lettered as follows. My 2 1/2" ruler is sure a help for this effort. First a pencil draw of parallel lines 2 1/2 inches apart. Then a line at bottom 1/2" up, and from top line 1/2" down. These become the top and bottom of 1 1/2" letters. Add 1 more line... slightly below the mid point between the last 2 lines... then sketch in pencil each letter. It's not so difficult to do when you have guidelines. Once through making subtle corrections to penciled letters, outline each letter with a permanent marker.
Light box under for easy viewing, red marker for outlining letters, then fill in with matching red ink.
Lower photo...A black marker line around the 'callout' box which will point to the city name... and an added drop shadow for emphasis.
A 2 stage process of placing texture and color around the callout box. I first did a rubbing with a textured 'light fixture panel' then added yellow color for interest.
The final effort on the lower photo includes a darker outline of each letter. I used a darker purple for this as lots of color variety for this effort seems a good idea.
