The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a 3-point perspective drawing of a letter using basic principles of 3-point perspective. It outlines 8 steps for drawing converging lines from a letter packet template to vanishing points to construct the letter shape in 3D perspective, including drawing lines from corners to opposite vanishing points. Students are asked to practice the technique to draw the middle letter of their name on both sides and the front of one additional letter.

2. PRACTICE on Idea Sheet
• Follow along with the step by step directions
for the 3 Point Perspective DEMO.
• You need the provided Idea Sheet, a pencil
and a ruler for this assignment.

5. EXEMPLAR: MC Escher

6. STUDENT EXEMPLAR: Angelo

7. Step 1a – Write down a name for the project that is 5,7 or
9 letters.

8. Step 1b –Mark the middle letter with an arrow.

9. Step 2a – Find your middle letter in the letter packet.
This is
a “Y”

10. Step 2b – These are the lines which DO NOT make a part
of the letter.

11. Step 3 – Use the packet example to draw the vertical lines from
the packet as CONVERGING lines to the vanishing point at the bottom
of the page.

12. Step 3a – Draw a CONVERGING LINE for all the vertical
lines in the drawing packet.

13. Step 4 – Use the packet example to draw the horizontal lines
from the packet as CONVERGING lines to the vanishing point to the left
side of the page.

14. Step 4b – Draw all of the horizontal lines from the packet as
CONVERGING lines to the vanishing point to the left side of the page.

15. Step 5 – Erase the lines which are NOT part of the letter.

16. CORNER Step 6 – Draw more converging lines from the
corners of the front of the letter to the vanishing point on the
OPPOSITE side.

17. CORNER Step 6a – Draw more converging lines from the
rest of the corners on the front of the letter to the vanishing point on
the OPPOSITE side.

18. CORNER Step 6b – Draw more converging lines from the
rest of the corners on the front of the letter to the vanishing point on
the OPPOSITE side.

19. CORNER Step 6c – Draw more converging lines from the
rest of the corners on the front of the letter to the vanishing point on
the OPPOSITE side.

20. CORNER Step 7 – Draw more converging lines from the
corners you just created to the vanishing point at the bottom.

21. CORNER Step 8 – On this practice paper you will NOT be
able to, but some lines will need to be erased to finish the letter.
