Posted: Sep 22, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

Creating graffiti is a fun and worthwhile activity that everyone can do. It is an art of expressing oneself through creative writing or drawing on a wall or surface. The uniqueness of graffiti art is brought about its urban and funky theme. For starters, it would be very frustrating to create your own personalized graffiti. This article will give you some tips on how to draw your own graffiti.

Tip #1

Brainstorm and visualize what you want for your art piece. A great start would be creating a funky design with your name or nickname or any other aliases that you wish. For novices, you can start off by drawing and spelling your chosen name or word in your own preferred writing style by using a pencil. Try not to get frustrated on lettering. It really takes a lot of time, practice and effort in drawing a sample graffiti on paper.

Tip #2

Customize your artwork by applying solid designs, layers or patterns in accordance with your style and personality. Let your own creativity play and try not to be afraid in going overboard about your design. Creating lots of different designs and patterns will further help develop your own sense of style naturally.

Tip #3

Practice makes perfect. After several rough drafts and crumpled papers on the floor, it is time to try the real deal. Gather all necessary graffiti supplies needed for your graffiti art – set of spray paints, permanent markers, pair of gloves, and an eye protector. Try to incorporate your chosen sketch and draw it in the wall using a permanent marker. Be confident and try to have fun while drawing for it will surely come up with a great result.

Tip #4

Polish your work by adding vibrant and various colors on your art. Try to practice stroke movement techniques and can control before applying paint on the wall. Remember to firmly press the can nozzle and apply gentle strokes while giving color to your art piece.

Tip #5

Graffiti are mostly crafted and painted on sidewalk walls, public places and walls of an abandoned buildings or an establishment. Remember not to vandalize any walls of any private and government places. You will get fined once you do. Try to search some places or communities near your area where they allow you to create graffiti.  Keep it a rule to bear in mind to ask permission first before doing so.

The art of graffiti does not necessarily imply that you can only create urban and funky designs through walls. Graffiti is created and found almost everywhere – on skateboards, notebooks, cars, stationary, caps, billboards and shirts. You don't have to be a great artist in creating graffiti. It is an art of expressing your uniqueness and creativeness through drawings and letterings.

    "You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink."
