How do I Draw Classic Graffiti?

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Sunday, June/02/2024

1). Grip your pencil loosely and practice making large swirling curves on paper. Classic graffiti relies on looping, stylized shapes, so get comfortable with consistently making the same types of curves.
2). Write your name or a short word in block letters at the top of a page. Practice converting the first letter into a sequence of curved shapes. Try to draw the letter using as few curved lines as possible. Repeat with each letter of your word.
3). Draw letters next to each other on a fresh piece of paper. Draw the letters so that at least one-eighth of each letter overlaps an adjacent letter. Erase overlapping lines to make the letters appear stacked on top of each other.
4). Thicken lines on the right side of each letter to create a shadow effect. Try thickening lines on the inside of letters such as "O" and "B."
5). Color the letters with markers. Use a dominant color for the word. Color thickened shadow lines with darker colors such as dark purple, blue or black.
