The Letter Project

Demo from me & VIDEO for review on how to begin the lettering process

Creating your final word/name (7 letters or more):

Step 1: Pick up an isometric graphing page

Step 2: Draw out a 5x7x1 unit box for the letter

**OPTIONAL** For every other letter, change the front slope of the box for a zig-zag look

Draw your FRONT VIEW (up/down slope) Draw in your z-axis Connect your z-axis with x and y lines

Step 3: Grid out your letter with light lines (or SHADE in your letter!)

Draw in the FRONT of your letter Draw in the visible z-axis Connect your z-axis Erase extra lines away

Step 4: Solidify/darken your final lines when you are happy with the letter shape

Step 5: Use markers, colored pencils, and crayons to breath real life into your drawing

Be sure that all your corresponding planes (plan, front, side) are the same color!

Step 6: Lightly shade in your letter to give it a real, 3D feel

Step 7: Repeat steps 1-6 for each letter until you have your complete (first or last) name

** REMEMBER: Letters MUST be at least 5 units wide, 7 units tall, 1 unit deep **

Extra IF TIME ALLOWS: Fill in the empty spave with "isometric filigree"
