Superheroes & Villains: Technical Drawing and 3D Letter Design

Step 2: IDEA GENERATION

Learning Goal: You will be able to generate and communicate three design ideas by doing visualisation drawings.

You will be working on the first letter of your hero/villain's name e.g. "Y" for Yoshi

Instructions for drawing the grid:

The steps below show you how to draw a 2 x 2cm grid on your page.

Make sure you draw the grid LIGHTLY in greylead.

  1. Line up your ruler so zero is at the edge of the page. Mark 2cms from the edge and 2cms from that mark. Put a mark every 2cms. When you finish that edge do the same on the opposite edge.

2. Use the ruler to connect your marks. Make sure all your lines are parallel to the edge of the page.

3. Mark 2cm increments along the other two edges of the page.

4. Use the ruler to connect your marks. Make sure all your lines are parallel to the edge of the page.

5. Look at the lettering guide sheet to see how to draw your letter on the grid

6. Copy your letter 3 times onto your grid. Make sure you leave enough room for features around the letter. You may need to make another grid page if you have a larger letter like "M" or "W"

Instructions for your visualisation drawings:

  1. Arrange the features of your character in three different ways to create three different design ideas.

  2. Add colour to your designs.

  3. Write annotations with arrows around the design describing the features.
