3D Letter Design

Task Overview

Today you are going to start thinking about drawing letters in 3D. You will start by drawing a single letter in 3D and then a full word.

The lesson tasks are listed below.

There are also examples and videos to help you.

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

Drawing in 3D

Task 1 - Have a go at a 3D letter

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 below. You can try different styles. Do as many single letters as you like. Practise helps you improve your skills.

Task 2 - Write your whole name or a word of your choice in 3D

Once you have mastered a single letter, you can then have a go at making a full word in 3D. There are lots of videos and examples on this page to help you but the only way to learn is by having a go!

Simple 3D Lettering

Letters are a simple and easy to shape. The perspective (3D angle) is the same direction for all letters. 3 simple colours are used to create shadow and depth.

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.

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!
