It’s nice to know how to draw a banner because banners make lettering stand out. If you have a particular message you want to get across, writing it in a banner will send a visual message of, “Hey, look here!” Unfortunately, banners can seem daunting to illustrate because the end product looks a bit complicated with its folds, shadows, and centered text. That, my friend, is precisely why I am writing this blog post: I promise you that, once you break it down, banners aren’t so tough! Today, we’re going to look at how to make the perfect banner to feature your lettering or calligraphy.
Your most valuable tool in this undertaking is going to be a pencil; I find it helpful to draw everything out in pencil first! Start by drawing a wavy line like the one shown in the photo below:
Next, use that wavy line as a base guideline to write a word or phrase in calligraphy. I am using Kaitlin Style calligraphy in the photo below.
