Three-dimensional block letters are suitable for titles and page titles and posters. The key to making it look 3D is to give the letters the impression of being illuminated and adding a little shadow. It's a little difficult to master. Here are the details on how to create the effect.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Creating Italics
Step 1. Sketch the bold letters
Start by sketching a bold letter of a word or name in the center of the paper.
Step 2. Select the desired angle
Put an "X" in any empty space on the paper, in the upper left or right corner of the word you created earlier. Then draw a line from the letters to the "X". Also, remember to draw lines from the corners of the letters.
Step 3. Create the dimensions
After drawing the line, use it as a guide to create bold dimensions for the letter.
Step 4. Finish the 3-dimensional lettering
Continue to continue the steps above until each letter is complete. In the example above, the number “3” is the last letter or number to give a 3-dimensional effect. Also, remember to carefully erase the guide lines after you've finished drawing a single letter to make it easier for you to create a 3-dimensional effect.
Step 5. Give the outline
Outline the lettering using a black pen or marker, then erase pencil marks to tidy up your drawing. In addition, make a bold line on the contour of the word; use a large-tipped pen.
Step 6. Color the letters
Use one color with light and dark variations as in the illustration, namely purple and dark purple.
Method 2 of 2: Creating Pyramid Letters
Step 1. Create the letters
Start by creating the letters you want.
Step 2. Outline the created letters
Give the letter ONE a thin outline.
Step 3. Connect everything
Connect the inner end of the letter with the corner of the line around it.
Step 4. Make the light
Determine the part that becomes the light source. You can draw a circle, square, or other symbol that can indicate where the light source is coming from.
Step 5. Give it a shadow
Imagine you are looking at real block letters. Make a shadow on the part of the letter that is not exposed to light.
Tips
- Start with a pencil first, then use the markings to create shadows.
- If the letter you are writing is going to be displayed on a computer screen, the light source should be at the top left. This is a rule that all computer programs try to apply. If the light source is not at the top left, the letters will look hollow.
- Try making different letters, words, and shadows. Look how it turned out!
- Use the H pencil when drawing letters so you can erase the pointer lines as well as the outline of the letters at once.
- Shade the background around the letters to make them look nicer.
- Use a pencil first so you can erase it if something goes wrong.
- Do not use a marker that is too thick when tracing the outline of the letters so as not to cover the details that have been created.
