Alright, so I saw this cool design, the WWE LWO logo, and I thought, “I gotta try making that myself!” It looked simple enough, but you know how it is – things are never as easy as they seem.
Getting Started
First, I pulled up a bunch of pictures of the logo online. Just to get a good look at it, you know? I wanted to see all the details, the curves, the spacing, everything. I spent a good chunk of time just staring at these images, breaking it down in my head.
Drawing it Out
Next, I grabbed my sketchbook and a pencil. I started by lightly sketching the basic shapes. It’s basically a big “L,” a “W,” and an “O.” I drew a few versions, trying to get the proportions right. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a start. Some attempts looked more like a squished mess than a logo.
Moving to Digital
After I had a sketch I was somewhat happy with, I decided to move to the computer. I opened up my trusty old image editor – nothing fancy, just something I’m comfortable with. I scanned my sketch and used it as a guide. Now came the fun part.
The “L”
- I started with the “L.” I drew a big, thick rectangle for the vertical part. It took a few tries to get it to the right thickness and angle.
- Then, I added the shorter horizontal part at the bottom. That was a bit tricky because it’s not just a straight line, it has a slight curve. I played around with the curve tool until it looked about right.
The “W”
- The “W” was the hardest part. It overlaps the “L,” which made it a bit confusing. I drew the two outer lines first, trying to match the angles from the reference images.
- Then, I drew the inner “V” shape. This part was a real pain! Getting those lines to connect smoothly and look sharp took forever. I probably redrew it like a dozen times.
The “O”
- Finally, the “O.” This was the easiest part. I just used the ellipse tool and made a big circle.
- I had to adjust the size and position a few times to make it fit nicely within the “L” and “W.”
Coloring and Finishing Touches
Once I had the basic shapes, I filled them in with the right colors. Black for the “L” and “W”, and white for the “O”. I added a black outline around the whole thing, just like the real logo. I spent some time tweaking things, adjusting the lines, and making sure everything was lined up properly. It wasn’t a one-click process, let me tell you.
Finally, after a few hours of work, I had something that actually looked like the WWE LWO logo! It wasn’t an exact replica, but I was pretty proud of myself. I saved it, and now I have my own version of the logo. Might not be perfect, but hey, I made it. I learned a lot doing this. Not just about drawing, but how to be patient and focus on the details. It is a nice try.
