A,B, Sketches

majid

The book includes an ample number of design samples for each alphabet letter (from A to Z), starting from playing with 2D shapes and trying to convert them into 3D models (sketches). Many of them were really challanging to I myself because of form similarities. Letters such as M,W, or A, V, U, N,n...
Here are more detailed images of the same pages, I think may help to concentrate on the shared tip.

In this case, H and P are combined. Do not consider them as the final design; they are just to ignite your creativity. You can see that there is a continuous improvement from 2D to 3D and it must continue to the final steps.

These are more samples from the letter A.

Take a sketch as a tool for thinking and not a polished product:

More 2D and 3D examples:

You can see the form-generation rules such as rotation, repetition, overlapping, mirroring, resembling, etc.. here.

More of 2D forms inspired by the letter B.

I would like to see some 3D models based on these sketches.
For those of you who prefer having the physical version of the book, can grab it from Amazon: https://a.co/d/5YvA6m2
Here are 3D forms based on developing former 2D sketches.

Thank you, mates, for your kind words. I know that there are plenty of spots to be developed and improved. But the goal was to show the process (at least partially) from a rough sketch on.
