That doesnt mean that we should ignore it, however!
Instead, we will be learning how todraw a bubble letterZ.
All this and more will be covered in the 6 easy steps of this guide.
Then, think of it folded twice to make the shape we will be drawing.
When writing the letter Z, its a pretty straightforward process of three zigzagging letters.
However, in this bubble form it becomes a bit more complicated.
We would suggest taking a pencil and writing out a big Z as you normally would when writing it.
This will make building a bubble version around it much easier.
Then, we will draw the top of the letter.
You might be surprised to see that we dont use a simple curved line for this part.
As we will see shortly, this first line will be the very top of the letter.
This second part of the letter will begin where the previous one ended.
The line will continue and curl down and to the left.
It will end at a pointy bit, and then it will sharply curve to the right.
When youre ready, we will continue to step 3.
In this step,we will be drawing the base of the letter.
So there will be no fancy zigzagging needed, at least not for step 3!
Once again, this new line will begin where the line from the previous step ended.
And that is exactly what we will be doing!
We will begin this final section where the base line ended earlier.
Draw a curved line angling up in a slope.
Once again, this will end in a pointy tip.
There will be just one more curved line needed now, and it will fill in the final gap.
With that, your outline for this letter is complete!
The hardest parts are over now, and step 5 will be about adding some final touches.
Before you do that, be sure to erase your pencil guides if you used them.
They were only there for the outline, and we will be focusing on the interior next.
Lets head on to that step and see how we can make this look more like a bubble.
If you imagine a balloon again, you will know that they tend to reflect light.
This is the first little trick we will use to make this letter look more like a bubble letter.
To do this, we will add two small ovals to the letter.
These will make it look like light is reflecting on the letter.
This part will be done bydrawing some thin linesalong the interior outline of the letter.
You will see in our reference image that we kept these lines quite restrained.
They will also show where the stuff the letter is made of would bunch over when bent.
These tricks are simple, but you might see how they make the letter look more alive!
The final way we will make it look more 3D will be in the sixth and final step.
STEP 6:
Who doesnt like to have some fun coloring in a picture?
In our reference image, we showed you the color scheme we would choose for the picture.
We decided to go for a warm orange color scheme.
you’ve got the option to use the same color scheme if you like the color orange!
Otherwise, you could choose any other color you like.
You will see we didnt use just one flat color.
Instead, we varied how light and dark the shades of orange are.
The colors are lighter closer to where the spots of reflected light are on the bubble.
you could achieve this effect no matter which color you choose!
Of course,you dont have to stick to just one color.
You could fill the letter with as many colors as you like!
So now our question is which colors do you think would best suit this drawing?
My Final Tips To Make Your Bubble Letter Z Drawing Even Better!
Drawing is all about being creative, and that means letting your imagination run wild!
We will give you a few tips on ways you could make your bubble letter Z even more creative.
When it comes to bubble letters, we always like to think of words that start with the letter.
We dont have as many options with Z as other letters, but there are still a fair few!
Some words would be zebra, zoo or zipper.
There are many more you could use, but lets stick with zebra for now.
This would make a great theme for the drawing!
Here are two ways you could incorporate zebra.
One would be to color the letter with black and white zebra stripes.
Or you could write out the rest of the word zebra and then draw a cartoon zebra beside it.
Another way to create a theme is by using a name that starts with the letter.
There are names like Zoe or Zack that come to mind.
Can you think of anyone that has a name starting with Z?
