his In art, at my school I’m learning how to draw box words in one point perspective. Box words are words that look sort of 3-D. The materials you’ll need to make a box word is paper, pencil, eraser, and a ruler. First, you need to make your paper horizontal, and use a ruler to draw a line in the middle of the paper. Then, make a dot in the middle of the line that you drew this is. (Which is called a vanishing point.) After, draw a light box to keep it organized and write your word inside of it. (then erase the box) Next, use the ruler and line up all of the closest corners to the dot for each letter. The last part is probably the most difficult and it uses a little bit of math.
his For this part you will need to know what parallel lines are. Just in case you don’t know what they are, they’re lines that will go on and on and never touch which means they are facing the same way. For the parallel lines make sure that the line you make is down below the line that forms the corner. Do this for all of the sides and try to make each parallel line connect together. If you choose a word with a round edge make sure that you put a line, but make it round just like your letter. Last, erase the lines that are connecting the word to the vanishing point (dot) and color in your word if you want to. If you want to make your coloring fancy I have seen some people do one color and then overlap it with another. ** Down below is a video how to do this. ** (you don’t need to watch the whole thing)
Here are the main steps…
- Draw horizontal line and vanishing point
- Make box and word inside
- Connect the closest corners to the vanishing point (dot)
- Make parallel lines and/or round edges
