How To Make a Simple Art Using Your Name

Obviously, this is all about making simple art (we’re still on the name series, for butt’s sake!) In the words that follow, I will tell you how to make an art out of your name in a completely different way. Of all the styles out here, this is one of the simplest and one of the most attractive. Moreover, this is also one of the easiest to modify.

With this technique, I always can’t stop myself from thinking, isn’t it nice that we can easily express ourselves through our choices? I’m not even talking about a lengthy discourse— not even close. You can make this art with the littlest expenses possible (borrow materials from your noisy little brother!) Forget, too, that killjoy voice inside raising a whole hullabaloo that you might not be artistic enough. Just jump into the excitement! Gather your wits and read on!

Materials:

Paper

Pencil, pens

Coloring materials

How to do it:

• Think about anything that catches your fancy— star, leaves, butterflies, etc. Make a list!
• Start with your favourite (evidently, mine is a butterfly). Make a sketch of its shape at the center of the paper using a pencil.
• Fill the shape with your name in such a way that the letters touch the outline and together, form the same shape somehow. Use a pencil.
• Trace your name with a pen or color pen. Erase the pencil outline.
• Then, proceed to add artsy details and color.
• In the void spaces between the letters, you can put in some designs, too (a web, for example).
• You can add some little things to complement your design. When you are satisfied already, then your art is ready.

 As I said, this style is easiest to modify. You can try to combine many names in one shape like I did before— I chose a hand and each finger was a friend’s name. You can also develop your work around your favourite shape. For instance, you can draw a whole garden with a butterfly at the center. Your friends’ names could be flowers and leaves. Likewise, you can have the solar system if you start with a star or, an underwater scenery if your favourite is a fish. This is what your list is for.

If you think that is a lot of way to do this art, think again. In fact, there are so many ways you can have it! You can try making each shape on a separate piece of paper, glue them with artsy things (buttons, beads, rice, etc), cut them out and then paste them on a pre-made background. Or else, make a stand for each cut out. If you want to, make a mobile!

In making art this way, you should follow one rule and that is to not let anything stop your creativity. You are making something physical with your name so why not let out your inner artist? Anyway, if you’re done with this style, you can always have the next part of this series. Don’t forget to check it out!
