How to Draw 3-D Letters

Make your letters POP when you learn to write anything in 1 point perspective and 3-D block form!

In this self-paced class, we will create awesome three dimensional letters, and by the end, you could even write your own name in this cool artsy style! This class is suitable for both learners who know how to create bubble or block letters as well as those who do not know how. Those more advanced learners who can draw block letters can hand draw their letters for practicing, while those newer to hand lettering can use my printable PDF that I provide with the block letters ready to work off of! Here is what we will learn each week:

Lesson 1: Creating Drop Shadow Letters
I will guide learners step by step in an instructional video how to get started creating a three-dimensional looking letter or shape. I will demonstrate both letters and shapes in a drop shadow block style and learners can work off of their own hand-drawn letters and shapes, or print off and use my PDF practice document. There is no need to have expert-level drawing to learn the concepts of creating 3-D letters! 
Supplies needed: paper (or printed off PDF), pencil, eraser, and a ruler. (The ruler can be half-sized, such as a plastic protractor - it does not need to be a foot length.) I will be referring to millimeters or fractions of inches when using the ruler.

Lesson 2: 3-D Letters Using 1 Point Perspective From a Center Point
In the week two video, I will guide learners step by step to create a new style of 3-D lettering. We will use 1 point perspective, using a vanishing point to create a three dimensional set of letters. Just as the week before, learners can work off of their own hand-drawn letters and shapes, or print off and use my PDF practice document. 
Supplies needed: paper (or printed off PDF), pencil, eraser, and a ruler. (The ruler can be half-sized, such as a plastic protractor - it does not need to be a foot length.) I will be referring to millimeters or fractions of inches when using the ruler.

Lesson 3: Extra Deep Drop Shadow Letters
Just like week one, I will guide learners step by step in an instructional video how to get started creating a three-dimensional looking letter, but this time, we will make extra deep shapes. I will demonstrate in a deep drop shadow block style and learners can work off of their own hand-drawn letters and shapes, or print off and use my PDF practice document. There is no need to have expert-level drawing to learn the concepts of creating 3-D letters! 
Supplies needed: paper (or printed off PDF), pencil, eraser, and a ruler. (The ruler can be half-sized, such as a plastic protractor - it does not need to be a foot length.) I will be referring to millimeters or fractions of inches when using the ruler.

Lesson 4: Using what you already know, I'll show you how to build a really cool piece of art to make a 3-D phrase or shapes stand out and look like it's coming toward you from a vanishing point at the center.
Just as the weeks before, learners can work off of their own hand-drawn letters and shapes, or print off and use my PDF practice document. 

Supplies needed: paper (or printed off PDF), pencil, eraser, and a ruler. (The ruler can be half-sized, such as a plastic protractor - it does not need to be a foot length.) I will be referring to millimeters or fractions of inches when using the ruler.

My goal for all learners is that they are able to learn to techniques that they can repeat on their own, using my instruction, tips, and practice pages. I would love for all students to challenge themselves to try new angles on their own, try writing their name, or their friends' names, or other words or phrases they love!
