1
00:00:00,213 --> 00:00:02,713
(funky music)

2
00:00:09,450 --> 00:00:13,330
- Hi, my name is Mr.
G, and I have a series

3
00:00:13,330 --> 00:00:16,770
of lessons planned for you
that are based off lettering.

4
00:00:16,770 --> 00:00:19,530
First of all, I wanna let
you guys know the materials

5
00:00:19,530 --> 00:00:22,470
that you guys will need
for today to do the project

6
00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,040
that we have at hand.

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,933
One would be a ruler.

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,453
Two would be a sharpie.

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,563
Two colors preferable.

10
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:38,143
Three would be a pencil.

11
00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:41,053
And four would be a good eraser.

12
00:00:42,550 --> 00:00:45,660
And again, this is Mr. G's lesson

13
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:47,540
on starburst lettering, okay?

14
00:00:47,540 --> 00:00:48,373
Welcome guys.

15
00:00:48,373 --> 00:00:52,160
So we're gonna start off
with just drawing a letter.

16
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:54,960
Just with this pencil here.

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,760
I'm gonna draw, and I'm gonna do a G,

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,393
because that's the start of my name.

19
00:01:02,050 --> 00:01:06,440
And I want you guys to
draw the letter pretty big,

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,503
so take up most of the paper.

21
00:01:09,390 --> 00:01:10,620
Second thing that we're gonna do

22
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:12,770
is that we're gonna make this line drawing

23
00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:16,170
into a block drawing.

24
00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:18,823
So, I'm gonna expand on this.

25
00:01:30,580 --> 00:01:32,593
So now, I've made a block letter.

26
00:01:37,386 --> 00:01:40,170
And now I'm going to
make a registration mark,

27
00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:42,580
and that's just one simple dot.

28
00:01:42,580 --> 00:01:45,330
So I'm gonna make a dot
anywhere on the page,

29
00:01:45,330 --> 00:01:48,690
preferably kind of in the
center of your letter,

30
00:01:48,690 --> 00:01:50,270
not off to the side.

31
00:01:50,270 --> 00:01:52,720
And you'll see why I say
that to you in a minute.

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,323
So I've made a dot.

33
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:00,870
Right there is my dot, and that's gonna

34
00:02:00,870 --> 00:02:02,240
be my registration dot.

35
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,210
I'm going to bring six, that
would be six lines through

36
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:09,750
this g and then we're
gonna start to break it off

37
00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:12,503
and make our negative and positive space.

38
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:21,823
So again, grabbing your
ruler and your pencil.

39
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:27,730
First line will go through
your registration mark,

40
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:30,400
or the little dot that
you made on your page.

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,920
Now I will take and make my second.

42
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,970
And I'm going all the way to
the end of the page, okay guys?

43
00:02:36,970 --> 00:02:39,490
Don't have it not go all
the way through the end

44
00:02:39,490 --> 00:02:40,323
of the letters.

45
00:03:04,010 --> 00:03:06,860
And again, you guys
might make some mistakes,

46
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:08,310
that's why we have an eraser.

47
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,600
Okay so I have three lines now, now

48
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,013
this will be number four.

49
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,370
And then again, make sure you
get all the way to the end.

50
00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:37,700
And again, don't worry about
fine tuning your design.

51
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:39,760
You're going to end up doing that.

52
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,220
Okay, so now, I'm gonna start looking

53
00:04:42,220 --> 00:04:45,650
at how I'm gonna wanna put my black fills.

54
00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:48,110
So, if I'm gonna have this one be black,

55
00:04:48,110 --> 00:04:50,000
I always try to map out stuff.

56
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,610
Then I would have this one
be black, and this one.

57
00:04:53,610 --> 00:04:56,350
And I usually leave a little bit of a dot

58
00:04:56,350 --> 00:05:01,350
on there just so I know which ones I need

59
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:03,060
to color what colors.

60
00:05:03,060 --> 00:05:04,950
And that was another
reason that I asked you

61
00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:07,690
to make six lines, or
an even number of lines,

62
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:11,730
so that you can have an even
dispersion of opposites,

63
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:13,773
or positives and negatives.

64
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:21,280
Okay, so now, I have some elements

65
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,140
that I can already start
to fill in in black.

66
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:26,710
So I'm going to start to fill.

67
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:29,350
And I want to give you guys a tip,

68
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:34,030
when you guys are using
sharpies, you guys should try

69
00:05:34,030 --> 00:05:38,570
to color as even as possible,
and color all the way through

70
00:05:38,570 --> 00:05:40,940
what you're coloring through to the end

71
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:44,290
so that you don't make
darker marks on stuff

72
00:05:44,290 --> 00:05:46,140
and I'll give an example of that now.

73
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:06,620
So again, try to get your fills

74
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:09,260
so that it's a nice even fill,

75
00:06:09,260 --> 00:06:11,560
and that you are not getting any areas

76
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,990
that are lighter or darker
than the other areas.

77
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:16,240
Might have to go over stuff a few times

78
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,840
to be able to get to that point.

79
00:06:19,530 --> 00:06:24,530
And then, on the opposites you're going

80
00:06:24,660 --> 00:06:26,570
to add what other color that you want.

81
00:06:26,570 --> 00:06:30,332
Let me show you an example of it

82
00:06:30,332 --> 00:06:32,933
when it would be filled just with black.

83
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,570
So now you can start to
see the letter shapes form

84
00:06:37,570 --> 00:06:41,770
and the letter forming
with the black and white,

85
00:06:41,770 --> 00:06:44,320
and you're seeing negatives
and positive space.

86
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,170
Negative space would be the black,

87
00:06:46,170 --> 00:06:48,560
positive space would be the white.

88
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,650
But we're gonna add
another color to it okay,

89
00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:53,400
so we're gonna add a green to it.

90
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,513
And I have...

91
00:06:56,310 --> 00:06:59,540
So as I started to do
this here with the black,

92
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:01,600
let's say that I'm gonna work with green,

93
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,030
I'm adding green opposite of it.

94
00:07:04,030 --> 00:07:09,030
So I'm running black, green, then black.

95
00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:16,753
So you're running
opposites of your colors.

96
00:07:20,260 --> 00:07:24,320
And again, take your time, go
a little bit slower than I am.

97
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,170
Right now, I'm just trying
to give you guys an idea

98
00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:28,180
of what things look like.

99
00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:30,860
And that's what you're gonna
do throughout the whole piece.

100
00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:34,951
So, somebody might go,
here, where you're looking

101
00:07:34,951 --> 00:07:39,951
at something that has a piece coming out,

102
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:41,720
but they're sectioned off pieces.

103
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,843
This would be green.

104
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:49,430
Where this one would be black,

105
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:52,492
and I'll fill those in
real quick for you guys.

106
00:07:52,492 --> 00:07:54,909
(soft music)

107
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,230
And again, taking your time to get nice,

108
00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:08,149
even lines with your colors.

109
00:08:08,149 --> 00:08:10,566
(soft music)

110
00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:24,230
And then, something like this
right here, would be black.

111
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:25,370
And then you're gonna work out

112
00:08:25,370 --> 00:08:27,670
through your whole piece that way.

113
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:32,403
So I have an example of a finished piece.

114
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,520
And then you can see how you
formed your letter shape,

115
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,500
and how you gave it some contrast.

116
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,730
Really cool thing to be able to work

117
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:47,223
with when your building up
words and things of that nature.

118
00:08:49,210 --> 00:08:53,090
And I'll give you some
examples of negative

119
00:08:53,090 --> 00:08:56,617
and positive space to
use in word graphics too.

120
00:09:09,380 --> 00:09:10,263
And there you go.

121
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:16,040
I hope that you guys had
fun learning about negative

122
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,500
and positive space and applying
it to a lettering technique.

123
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:23,021
Thank you, my name is Mr. Greg
and I'll see you next time.

124
00:09:23,021 --> 00:09:25,521
(funky music)
