How to Draw 3D letters Happy Birthday - Art for Kids - Birthday Sign Hand lettering _ BP

Hello .

Awesome art students Michael here with some uh 3d lettering that is uh well , perhaps useful to you and wishing someone a happy birthday and it's gonna be a loose 3D style .

We're gonna write Happy Birthday and by loose , I mean , we're not gonna worry about these letters being perfect .

In fact , we're going to even work at making them um at a little bit of an angle .

So we're gonna start with the H and we're gonna create a stroke like that and uh we're gonna let these edges even cross on this .

You see , this can be kind of cool and uh we're gonna draw a little bridge across there and now we're going to do you just like that , see , it doesn't even have to be perfect .

Now , we're gonna get an a in here and let this a do something like that right there and you're just gonna have the freedom here to not worry about everything being perfect .

So that's the way that's gonna work .

Now for the 3D effect , we're also gonna create a loose 3D effect here and where we mirror these here are these angles and edges and we'll shade that in this time , not worrying about perfection at all .

Sort of perfect imperfection .

I mix these letters bouncy and fun like that right there and then go back and just true those up .

Make sure those corners are tight .

If you need to do a little on the edge , that'll help it pop out a bit and even do some extra hatching this way , just like that .

All right , same thing here .

Angle , angle , angle , angle , angle , connect , angle , feel free to just stop after each letter because I'm going to uh I've got a lot of letters here to work through .

I'm gonna go kind of quickly on these .

There's the a that'll be dark in there .

If I need to re up an edge here , I'll just do some hatching this way , something like that H A .

Now the P , let's see , I wanna do a have this kick out a little bit like that .

If we do something like that and let this come off around and connect up , I go have a small center there when you're drawing these letters , you kind of just gotta let them let them flow , you know , have fun with them .

I need to add a couple of little overlaps here just to make it consistent .

All right , and shade that in .

And this is going to give us a little additional uh 3d effect here .

I think it will .

All right , there's one P and now we're doing a similar p right here , you know , so this one didn't turn out to be exactly the same .

And that's all right .

Do the 3D effect on that shade that in a little bit of effect right here .

Extra dark , right down there .

Not as dark there , extra dark down on the bottom .

Kept that a little lighter so that you've got some light bouncing around in there .

There we go .

And now the y let's do something , something like this and our angles not being afraid to let him be loose and extra dark in here .

Oh , lots of letters here and Happy Birthday .

But we got happy down .

Now , let's go for birthday , something maybe like that .

I thought these would be small , makes it easier when we do the 3D effect come off these edges here .

You're just gonna roll right off of that down to there .

Connect , connect , connect , connect that a good arc darker under here .

Leave a little light on the side , a little light on the side darker underneath .

So you can use a couple of some hatching to chew up that edge .

All right .

And to be a little bit coming down right under here right there .

All right .

So um rather than do a big eye , I'm just gonna do a stick eye here just like that .

And I'm gonna , so I have room for all my letters .

I'm gonna let these letters overlap .

Some come down with the 3D effects .

Connect the lines like that .

Now the Rs is gonna be a lot like the p so I'm gonna create that same little notch that I have right there .

And I'm gonna come around with that R I'm gonna come down with this part and then here I have to leave room to kick something out .

So I'm gonna have it just step out like that and uh be kind of tight there again .

Some of this is just happening as I draw it , I'm going with whatever , whatever , whatever happens here , trade that in .

Yeah , it'll be just a little bit right in there .

That'll get dark in there .

OK .

Now , this is where the T can kind of fill in that gap .

We could have made that R a little thicker , but we've got a lot of letters to fit in here yet .

So this will come out just fine , 3d effect on that come down here like that .

So I haven't been as loose with some of this and uh overlapping the edges .

So I'm just gonna come in and fix that by throwing a couple of longer edges here to keep this loose style .

And so that inconsistency is showing up now and I wanna have that loose energy coming off of the birthday here .

All right , you got an H to do , done an H up here so I can mimic that this one's going to be narrower .

So that's similar and uh we'll just let those lines overlap a little bit and we'll come in and do the 3D effect like that right there .

Now , the D OK , do something similar to the B except it just has one curve instead of two humps just like that come in here and keep that pretty small .

So we can go ahead and shade it in angle , angle , angle , angle , angle , it's gonna roll right off of here , factor there and don't mind being a little loose there .

Go ahead and connect that it's gonna be dark .

So because these spaces are all tight that not all light will bounce around in there .

OK ?

Now we got another a and we see an A up here .

So let's let it overlap a little bit .

I'm gonna try to mimic that .

A no , except make this one smaller , something like that .

Again , don't worry about going over a bit .

You actually want a little bit of that and go right there .

Come down and go right there .

Go right there by being loose .

It gives it sort of that fun party feel in my opinion .

And plus you have less stress over perfection .

So um now the why we've done a Y up here .

So again , we know what that's gonna look like .

Something like that right there .

Kick out our angles for the 3d effect dark on the bottom .

Don't worry about a little add , even add a little couple of extra effects there .

Keep this one just as messy looking as the others .

Um We're gonna have a little bit going on here , might wanna thicken that up a bit and um there yeah , we pretty much got it a a really funky fun happy birthday that you can use on a card or uh you know , something that you're making obviously for somebody who's having a birthday .

So uh here you go .
