HOW TO TURN A TAG INTO A PIECE
|
|
|
1- take two pencils, and tape them together and make sure the points are even.
|
|
|
2- Hit a light tag on a blank paper(do not put to much pressure on the pencil so that the tag is very light), And make sure that the letters are positioned even (use guide lines if you have to)
You can make it a simple tag, or you can make it a more stylized tag. In this example i chose a more simple tag.

3- Now get a single and darker pencil (or just use more pressure). and start adding hook ups. try and connect a few letters. If you look at this example, you can see that i added pipes to connect letters (like the top of the "G" connecting to the "L"), arrows pointing in different directions (like the one on the top of the "W", chips like the one on the bottom corner of the "S".
And be very creative in adding hookups, but don't over do it.

4- now get a black outliner ( fine point marker). I use:
you can find them in any art store, stationary, walmart, ect.
Now outline all the outer lines of the tag 9do not outline the inside lines of the tag), and let the ink dry, then erase the pencil.

|
5- Optional, you can add some shadow style 3D. (that i will teach in a future lesson about adding 3D)
