Shown above are three steps in drawing a 0ne point perspective letter.
One point perspective letters can be used for the letters in movie and magazines titles for example. This gives the impression of depth and substance to the titles.
If you click on the Step 1 graphic above you will see S2 pupils who have drawn their name in one point perspective.
They first practiced drawing individual letters using a drawing board and instruments on A4 paper. When they gained the necessary skills and confidence they drew their name on larger A3 paper.
Using rendering, shadows and shading to try and give the drawing depth they produced an excellent standard of work.
A one pound coin is shown on the drawings to give an impression of size.
