Just for fun, thought I would try to reproduce the classic block from the little-known game Minecraft. A simple enough plan, but the tricky part was actually getting the angles right and drawing the grid at the right spacing. Then trying to get the same pattern (texture?) as the original, and so on.
In the end, I did not try to reproduce exactly the texture on the side (pixel for pixel) but got the general distribution.
As a final touch, I wanted the ‘label’ underneath. To do so, I looked up the Minecraft font (or typeface, I suppose) and drew it out on graph paper, then traced it.
Might have been the wrong font size - a little too large - and I guess the kerning is likely a bit off. Still, it gives the whole thing a bit more realism, I guess.
The end result is here
