How do you write Family in bubble letters?
- Count the widths. FAMILY has six letters with very different widths: M is widest, I is narrowest. Mark six slots with the M slot about twice the I slot. This keeps the I from vanishing.
- Fill the gaps after F and L. F and L are open on the right, which leaves holes in the word. Slide the A under the arm of the F and tuck the Y into the corner above the L's foot.
- Round the points of A and Y. Turn the top of the A into a dome and the fork of the Y into a soft V. Keep the Y on the baseline, since the capital Y has no tail.
- Give the I rounded caps. Make the I a short, fat capsule with rounded ends, the same height as the others. A thin line looks like a gap.
- Center it over the picture. If FAMILY is a title over photos or a tree, sketch it in pencil first and check the middle (between M and I) sits over the middle of the page.

Colors and decorations for Family
A rainbow, one color per letter, suits FAMILY because each letter can stand for a person. Or let every family member color their own letter in their favorite color. Add a heart in the A's counter, small house or tree drawings at the ends, or tiny stick figures holding hands underneath. A warm orange shadow keeps a rainbow word looking like one piece.
Family in graffiti letters
The graffiti image uses 3D letters pushed back with a deep block. FAMILY has mostly straight letters (F, A, M, I, L), which makes the 3D block easy to draw, because each side is a straight line. Point the block the same way on all six letters and color it darker than the fill. The 3D graffiti letters guide covers depth and direction.
