Art Supplies
A in Block Letters
Begin by drawing in a couple of horizontal lines to use as guides for the top and bottom of your letters. This will make it easier to make your letters the same size.
Draw your first letter in whatever style you want it to be. Make sure it touches the top and bottom guidelines.
Next, draw lines that are equal distances away from your initial letter. Do this for both the outside and the inside of your A. The top and bottom of your letters will extend past your guidelines.
Rotating your paper as you draw will make it easier to have even placement of your lines.
R in Block Letters
Follow the same process for your next letter, in this case it’s an R. Again, making sure your letter touches the top and bottom guidelines. There are numerous ways to draw this letter. Make yours look however you’re comfortable with it.
Rotating your paper as you work, draw your lines evenly spaced around your initial R letter. There are many ways to draw the letters. Don’t be afraid to add a little style to yours. We all form our letters slightly different, and that’s perfectly fine. You want your letters to be drawn in your own style.
How to Draw Block Letter T
The final letter for this example is a T. Draw your T so it reaches the top and bottom guidelines.
Repeat the same process as you did with the previous letters to complete your T.

Next, trace over your pencil lines with a black marker. At this point there are an endless number of possibilities for finishing your letters and turning them into a work of art.
I decided to add some Zentangles to my letters. These patterns are so useful for filling in areas of your artwork. If you’re not familiar with the Zentangle method, check out our post on getting started with them at, Zentangle Primer Pack Vol. 1 | Review.
To finish off my drawing I added some shading to the inside edges. Of course there are many more options to finishing this drawing. I thought about adding some color or just doing colors without the Zentangles.
If you’re not familiar with the Zentangle method I encourage you to look into it. They are so much fun to make and extremely relaxing. You can learn more about them by going to https://zentangle.com/.
