Once learned, its one we use fairly often in our everyday lives.
Throughout the 6 steps of this guide, we will learn how to draw a fancy letter Y.
This will be done with all sorts of great details and additions to the design.
So lets not delay and dive into the first step of this guide.
That is not the approach we will take for this fancy version, though!
Instead of using any straight lines, we will be using only curved and rounded lines.
Before we begin properly, why not quickly sketch out a letter Y using your pencil?
Doing so will help you to keep the shape of the letter in mind as you draw.
It will also allow you to plan out the size of the letter.
Then, we can draw the first lines of the design.
To begin with, we will be drawing a curved line with a spiral on the end.
Start out by drawing a loose spiral shape that then extends into the dip of a curved line.
With that done, we can add the next section in step 2.
We shall start at the spiral section you began with in the first step.
Add a pointy tip there, and then draw the spiral twisting out in a curved line.
This spiral will turn into a curved line running parallel to the line from the previous step.
It will follow the same dip in the middle and then veer sharply up.
But we want the letter Y, not a U!
Thats why we will fill that gap in the next step for complete the outline of the letter.
We shall begin right where you left off last time!
At the point where the dip ended last time, we will add another pointy tip.
This tip will extend down in a slightly wavy, curly line.
It will curl sharply, looking a bit like a tail.
That tail will have a pointy tip at the end as well.
And then it will curve up again to fill the gap and connect back to the letter.
Its really not as hard as it sounds as long as you follow the image closely!
Then, its time for step 4.
In this and the next step, we will be adding some details to your drawing.
In this particular step, we will focus on the interior details of the letter.
First, we drew some spiral lines poking off the two tips of the letter.
We didnt add one to the tip of the spiral on the left as that may be spiral overload!
You could add one there if you like, however.
Then, we wanted to add a simple pattern to the interior of the letter.
To do this, we drew wavy lines all throughout the letter.
Its a simple example of details that look intricate while still being easy to draw.
If you like how this pattern looks, then you could add it to your own drawing.
Of course, you could also go for a different pattern instead!
Were not done yet, though!
We have some more details to add in the next step.
you might see this as we added one more spiral line to the left side.
Next, we drew some small dots along the outline.
These went on the upper and right hand curves of the outline.
This makes it look like there is a little plant growing out of the letter!
Youll notice that with all these details, we kept them rather minimal.
Its up to you now, so what are some details you could add to the drawing?
We show you the color choice we would make in our example image.
To color the letter, we added a bright pink color to make this picture bright and eye-catching.
If you love the color pink, then you could make yours the same color!
You could go with yellow, as it starts with the letter Y.
There are so many opportunities, and you should go with what feels right.
We used just one color for our example, but you could use multiple colors if you wanted to.
We also just colored the letter, but there is a lot of empty background space as well.
Adding color to the background could be a great way to emphasize or complement the colors of the letter.
Now that you have some inspiration, which colors do you think would suit this picture best?
My Final Tips To Make Your Fancy Letter Y Drawing Even Better!
For an example, earlier when talking about color we mentioned how the word yellow starts with Y.
You could go with this by writing out the word yellow in this fancy style.
Its just one example, but you could think of other words that begin with the letter.
If you write out their name, you could then fill the background with all of their favorite things!
Can you think of words or names that start with Y?
