Technique for creating a hand drawn website style

We first got into the blogging world with our website blog “We Are not Freelancers“. The site is a combo of the “Ten Pixel Method” and hand drawn characters and letters.

David gives you a quick lesson on how to create a hand drawn website using the ‘don’t lift the pencil‘ technique.
