Step 1
Create your own unique style. This is the only way you can stand out from the crowd of street artists. In this business, extraordinary imagination, a sense of style and fresh ideas are welcomed. Learn how to mix paints correctly and create original drawings. Do not forget to also come up with your own signature, which will show off under your works.
Step 2
Use stencils. They will come in handy if you are just learning to draw. Stencils will help to achieve clarity of lines and create a beautiful composition that will delight all passers-by. Make homemade patterns from any material, but it is best to use cardboard, in which you should cut the desired letter or image. The stencil will cover the part of the wall that the paint should not get on.
Step 3

But you will need time to understand this specifics of creating graffiti. Some writers use markers to create the image, which are sold in specialty stores.
Step 4
Practice drawing on plain paper. Before you create another masterpiece on the wall, you should learn how to create illustrations on paper using a regular pencil. And only after that, the finished image should be colored with markers and transferred to the walls of the houses of your city.
Step 5
Get a respirator that will protect your respiratory tract from harmful paint fumes. The stairs and lighting will also come in handy if you paint in the dark. Purchase a solvent to help degrease the surface on which the image will be created. This will make the drawing fit better and last longer.
