How would I achieve this graphic?

Hi Forum,

 

A client has requested something which I have no idea how to achieve, so I'm looking for some help.

 

 

So far I have tried patterns and creative a mask. I would just try and draw through the centre shape, however the client requires exactly 31 boxes to represent days of the month (obviously this is variable to the month so going for an even number an blocking it out would be much easier.)

 

How can I guarantee an equal path throughout the letter? - I will need to do this for other letters too, so I'm hoping to find a simple and transferable solution.

 

Thanks in advance!

Forget about automating this.

You need a mixture of blends and brushes.

In order to improve a blend that turns out crappy (many of them will), you could check out this video: https://youtu.be/B6qWm7CApxA

Thank you Monika, yes haha automating has been forgotten, it is more of a complex challenge than I first expected. Appreciate the videos, I should be able to get a result from these.
