  1. Step 1: The big A

    On the left draw a fat bubble A: 2 fat legs meeting in a round point, with a fat crossbar.

    Tip Block letters are fat letters with a thick side, like wooden blocks.

  2. Step 2: The A's side

    Behind the A, a little up and right, draw a thin band hugging its top and right edges.

  3. Step 3: The A's face

    Under the little triangle draw 2 big round eyes with dots and shines, and a U smile under them.

  4. Step 4: The big B

    Leaving a gap after the A, draw a fat B: a stem, a bump on top, a bigger one below.

  5. Step 5: The B's side

    Behind the B, a little up and right, draw the same thin band hugging its top and right edges.

  6. Step 6: The B's face

    Between the B's 2 holes draw 2 big round eyes with dots and shines, and a U smile.

  7. Step 7: The big C

    Next to the B, leaving a little gap, draw a fat C with a thick left side.

  8. Step 8: The C's side

    Behind the C, a little up and right, draw the same thin band hugging its top and right edges.

  9. Step 9: The C's face

    On the C's thick left side draw 2 big round eyes with dots and shines, and a U smile.

  10. Step 10: Floor and shadow

    Draw a floor line under the letters and a flat oval shadow on it. Rub out the floor inside it.

  11. Step 11: Red A, blue B

    Colour the front of the A red and the front of the B blue, leaving the eyes white.

  12. Step 12: Orange C, grey sides

    Colour the C orange, then all 3 sides and the shadow grey around the letters. Your block letters are done!
