Drawing in 3D

Task 1 - Have a go

During this lesson, you will have a go at drawing lettering that is 3D.

You can start by drawing a letter of your choice in 3D using either pencil, pen and paper or a drawing app. Look at the examples above and to the right. You can try different styles.

Task 2 - 3D Words

Once you have mastered a single letter, you can then have a go at making a 3D logo for your soap dish or even your name. There are lots of videos and examples on this page to help you but the only way to learn is by having a go!

Make sure you attach photo's of what you do, to today's assignment in Google Classroom so your teacher can see your work.

Make sure that your logo and 3D letters spell a word that matches your soap dish (or your name).

Fun 3D Lettering

Letters a fun and wacky shapes. The perspective (3D angle) changes and has no fixed rules or direction. Colours are simple but still add shadow.

Procreate. Advanced 3D Letter Designs.mp4

Advanced 3D lettering

Letters are drawn on a fixed angle with a fixed perspective (3D angle). The size, angle and direction of the letters are very important and must all match. Colours add shadow.

This is really cool

Why not give this a try!
