Graffiti is an artistic aspect of street culture. Graffiti artists create their drawings on the walls of houses, fences and other architectural structures. Drawing human figures is one of the basic techniques in this art.
Instructions
Step 1
Imagine and imagine the images of your future drawings as vividly as possible in your head. Graffiti is a young trend, the canons of which are just being formed. Many people who are carried away by this style do not learn from books, but only vary their ideas, as well as ideas borrowed from other artists.
Step 2
Pay attention to the graffiti already created by other authors and try to remember their main features. People in such cases are most often depicted surreal: the upper body is larger than the lower one, large facial features, etc. This is used for a special psychological effect of conveying the artist's ideas hidden at first glance and even his worldview.
Step 3
First, create a sketch of the future graffiti on paper. Use a pencil to draw a neat sketch of the figure of the person. Try to paint with light strokes to make it easier to adjust. Next, with a gel or ballpoint pen, circle the sketch, rubbing the pencil strokes with an eraser.
Step 4
Think about the background and color of the picture. Experiment with different shades on paper, paying particular attention to color transitions. Often, graffiti sketch lines are outlined in several colors at once, which creates a kind of rainbow, bright picture.
Step 5
Proceed with transferring the pattern to the wall surface. Novice graffiti artists should use one or two cans of paint. Apply a background color, then start painting the head. Add guidelines for the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. Add a hairline at the top and a smooth transition to the chin and neck at the bottom. Carefully sketch out the torso, leaving openings for the limbs to be added later.
Step 6
Draw the arms. To make things easier, you can depict them as if the tassels were in the pockets of a jacket or pants. Next, start drawing the legs, adding thick lines to show how the fabric on the trousers gathers in folds in the waist area. Shade the drawn person with the desired color shades. Add a prominent caption or slogan to the graffiti, if desired.
