Illuminated is a very decorative letter and most recognized to be used on the Book of Kells.
It was created by Celtic monks ca. 800 or slightly earlier and written on a vellum (some kind of animal skin).
The manuscript takes its name from the Abbey of Kells that was its home for centuries.
It uses a lot of picture like face, bird, all about decoration and details.
The next thing we know our teacher asked us to make the manuscript letter, we also can make the new one.
So, here it is my own manuscript illuminated letter, my nickname M.
I kind of mixed up between the face and the bird because my teacher said it's interesting :D
that is the final sketch until i put dots around the letter following the style of the manuscript letter
more specific look :)
the face
the bird
and the letter
That's all :) hope you all find something interesting guys
