Your task is to draw your name in perspective. There are two ways to approach this project, and it's recommended to try both.
Method 1: Precise Illustration
Draw your name using one-point perspective to create a 3D effect. If using your name feels too self-focused, choose the name of someone you appreciate. Here's how:
Use a ruler for accuracy.
Draw each letter twice: once for the front plane and once for the back plane.
Connect corresponding corners to create the illusion of depth.
Think of it like drawing two squares and connecting them to form a cube.
Determine the size of the back letters by drawing lines to the vanishing point.
Method 2: Rapid Iterations
Practice by sketching your name or any shapes freehand, without a ruler.
Complete 20 quick sketches this week.
If you enjoy it, aim for 100 sketches over the next two weeks.
Experiment with different vanishing point placements to see various effects.
This method helps you strengthen your idea-generating muscles and improves freehand line skills.
Use any shapes or letters, the goal is to understand perspective, not lettering.

Hello, here is my one-point assignment! Not my name, but a character I’m currently obsessed with in street fighter 6. I was doing some of these before, but I went back and re-did it so I’m pleased with this one.
I didn’t account for how much room I’d need to fit “F•R•I•E•N•D•S”, so I turned it into a question…
Also, for “Frasier” I originally aligned the top edge of the letters to line up with the “F” as they diminished, but since “F” is taller than the others it didn’t look right. I then remembered to measure from the ground level of “F” instead and corrected it.
Another attempt!, I quite like this one. I used japanese onomatopoeia for the ''letters'' This one translates to ''zash'' Better known as ''slash'' Like a sword slashing down, so I tried getting a little creative with it! If there are any tips or points I should continue I'd love to know!
This video answered my questions! Nice!
It's still not perfect, but I think I'm getting it! If you plot the outside edges of your shape and extrude that into space, it makes it easier to replicate the curves and angles themselves. I love doing all this on paper, too.
Got a bit carried away although I just lazily scribbled in my name lol. I know the font isn’t perfect because it’s basically my messy handwriting. Didn’t care at all. Just wanted to test out the perspective but ended up with this.. Gonna do some more…
Nice work, Darren. This is nearly perfect. The only thing I noticed is that the bottom of the back projection of the R's isn't consistent with the rest of the letters. A tiny fix -- this looks great, and I like the colors you chose!
I know I'm late, I fell behind a little bit. I thought I was making my life harder with my font choice but I might have been inadvertently making it easier with the lack of curves.
I am super late to deliver the 2nd approach homework. I have been working on it when had some time on between.I am sorry but couldn't make it all the way to 20. I managed 10. I will try to do the 1rst approach later when I get more inspired...anyway this is my post critique assignment.
I was surprised this assignment was so difficult for me as I did this all the time in my middle school years! My struggle came when I was trying to draw the letter further back. Once I started, line dyslexia kicked in, and I became frustrated. Intellectually, I understand why it needs to be there but I went more intuitively, to get it on the paper. I did a single letter with colored sides just to try to figure it out. Drawing 1-D from reference does not frustrate me as drawing from construction. I will be practicing more 1-D construction.
I started by writing my name which was nice and simple because I used the tools on my drawing app to help me draw lines that went directly to a vanishing point. I enjoyed my other more exploratory drawings a lot more though. It was fun trying to draw letters in different ways and extend them back to a vanishing point by eye. the effects ended up looking much cooler than I expected and definitely helped me get more comfortable with putting the back face of an object in perspective.
