The best way to practice drawing graffiti is on a piece of paper. This is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first glance. You can proceed to painting the walls only after you have mastered the technique of drawing using the graffiti technique on paper.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - a simple pencil;
- - colored pencils or markers.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a close look at the finished, professional graffiti. Learn the technique of drawing, the location and shades of highlights and shadows. You should not pay attention to low-quality and fuzzy images, such drawings are made by non-professionals and should not interest you.
Step 2
Find interesting pictures on the Internet and print them. You will have them in front of your eyes for convenience, for a start, just sketch the outline. Start with simple black and white drawings. The most convenient and easiest way to depict letters of the alphabet and numbers.
Step 3
Do not place them too close to each other, allow enough space for further corrections and additions. Try to give your drawing a standard graffiti look. When you are familiar with this part of the drawing, try to make the image three-dimensional.
Step 4
Add shadows and highlights. Change the pressure on the pencil, this will allow you to create lines of different thickness. The same effect can be achieved by using several types of simple pencils - sharpened and slightly dull.
Step 5
Color images are much more beautiful than black and white, but they are also more difficult to draw. First sketch out the outline. Fill the space inside the line with the base color. Highlights are obtained from the same color, but in lighter shades. You can make them white.
Step 6
Shadows are drawn with a darker shade than the base color. Try to create multiple shades of highlights and shadows. Then the drawing will be more beautiful and realistic. Try drawing some lettering with the bubble style.
Step 7
Write the word in the usual way. Then circle each letter, don't make any sharp corners, keep the lettering rounded. To change the thickness of the letter, just draw another outline. Closer to the letter to narrow it, and farther away to widen it.
Step 8
Now you must erase all the lines inside the path. Color the resulting drawing as you wish. When you get a little bit of graffiti art, start drawing more complex objects.
