How to Draw Bubble Letters
[edit] Steps
- Make the outline the same distance from the actual letter, all
the way around the shape of the letter.
- Keep making outlines until your bubble letter is as big as you
want it to be.
- Erase all of the interior outlines, as well as the initial
letter. Make sure you erase all the inside so there are no visible
marks.
- Color in the letter.
- Trace the remaining outline with a marker.
- Practice and experiment with colors, patterns, and the
roundness of your outlines.
[edit] Tips
*Make sure you have a good eraser
- Practice makes perfect.
- Try to keep the distance between outlines at about a quarter of an inch (half a centimeter), at least until you get used to making accurate outlines.
- Bubble letters typically overlap within a word. After you draw the first letter of the word, draw the next one slightly behind it, and the next one behind that, etc.
- As you get better, you'll be able to make bubble letters without the outlines.
- Bubble letters look great on posters, but also brighten up the graphic look of many other types of artwork. For example, a smaller bubble letter sign could be just the thing your math notes need to make the beginning of a new unit stand out, or a diary or class schedule.
- If you think of how the letter will look before you draw it, you may draw the letter a little better.
- Feel free to draw extra lines on the letters to make them look cooler.
- Bubbles and balloons reflect things on their smooth surfaces, especially light. Adding some of those pretty little details will set your drawings apart!
- Use pencil
- Draw lighter lines around the actual letter so when you erase, you wont have marks.
- You will need a lot of practice if you want perfect and if it looks bad in your eyes, DONT give up you'll get there.
[edit] Warnings
- Be extra careful with Z, R, M, B, G, S, N, A, Q, F and K, as they can be tricky.
- Don't be afraid to overlap when you color in the rest. It will look super cool!
- If doing bubble letters and numbers, make it simple. Don't struggle.
- If you have trouble doing bubble letters and numbers, just try twice as hard.
- If you mess up don't start over just erase
- Try to make it look retro when you color it in.
