How to Make Drawn Squares Look 3-D for a Button

ROBYN LYMAN: Hi, this is Robyn with Expert Village. We're getting ready to go ahead and put some dimension to this drawing. This is pretty fun to do. This is when it gets fun to start drawing. First, I want to just start on the edge and come down. I want to make this pull out. It's going to start looking like a soccer ball here in a second just from the dimensions I put onto here. So go all the way around the drawing. Some people I taught like to just draw their lines and come back and do the circles. I just like to do the parallel and do it all where I'm right there. As I was talking about making a copy, skeleton-wise, there are so many different ways you can go from here on this drawing. I'll show you a few samples in the next video. But the number of game moves possible in the game of chess are astronomically higher than the number of visible atoms in the universe. I can't even comprehend the atoms in my fingernail, let alone the universe. So it's something eternal; it goes on forever. With music, we have 88 keys on the keyboard and it goes on. You have the rhythm in there and key signatures. It's eternal. It's an eternal thing that goes on forever. That's what I like about music is it's never-ending. And you come to people, there's over 115 different personality traits and it's the same thing. There's no two people alike; even identical twins have different personality traits. And then when you come to drawing like this, your imagination can go just wild because there's too--so many ways to draw this drawing just from the way it is. And on my next clip I'll show you some of those ways. If you just follow this pattern all the way around and you can see it turned into a 3-D clip, sorta, right here, the drawing. People call it the soccer ball because that's kinda what it reminds me is a soccer ball. So I'm going to finish putting this in here and then we'll have our dimension set on here, and then we'll just have to decide how we're going to do the middle of it, and there are several ways you can do that. And on the next clip, we'll go over those and then we can decide which drawing we're going to pick to color in and make into a transparency so we can make it into a mirror. See how quick that was?
