Adding Boxes to Your Button Design

Video Transcript

ROBYN LYMAN: Hi, this is Robyn with Expert Village. We're going to pick up where we left off with these squares, show you how to finish them off. All we have to do is look at this point. Coming over to here, it's going to end to there. And as we take our points down, you can see them coming in right into nice little squares. So I'll just come to each corner and draw these down. As I said, you don't want to go over your lines because it will make for a sloppy drawing. You want to see if you can start right on the line and come right down under the point. If you can get in the habit of making each line the same distance, it won't be long before you'll be doing the same thing real easy because it just--every line is going to be the same. You'll kinda get a feel of the count as you pull it down. Now I gotta put another set of squares onto this drawing. I can do it by just doing it this way, but it's a lot better if you want to have it accurate to point this coming down and picture that line coming from here to here and then just put a little dot there. So that's what I'm going to do right now. Just eyeball that point coming down so that it's straight. I'll show you in a minute why you want to do that and to keep your drawing nice and even, because otherwise it's soft and crooked. It will still look good but it looks a lot better when everything is uniform. So now I'm just going to take and draw these points to that. And it's always better to draw with the ink away from you so it doesn't stick on your hand. See how fast I can go? Just draw up to your points. Now I want to come back and connect those squares and just go on from point to point. Now this is why they call it the skeleton of the drawing because in this part of the drawing, there's literally no end as to what you can do on the drawing.
