- Do not use your tags or drawings to sketch the graffiti of other artists who are much higher than your level. If you paint over any images, make sure your graffiti covers it completely. You will make your task much easier if you paint over the background of your drawing.
- Remember that the choice of place for your work should be reasonable, and based on respect for the work of others. Graffiti artists create, not destroy.
- If you are arrested, ask for a lawyer and exercise your right to remain silent. All you need to provide is your name, address and date of birth. Don't let them intimidate you into confessing, even if you have paint on your clothes or have seen you paint. Remember, even if the policeman says “you’re only making things worse for yourself,” everything is bad enough, he just wants to get a confession and close the case.
- A few guidelines for graffiti: Don't tag commercial buildings, places of worship (churches, for example), schools, or places of significance (mostly because of security cameras).
- Enjoy the process, be creative, original and free to express yourself. Once you master graffiti writing, you can move on to new crazy styles. Don't be afraid to experiment; you never know what will be yours.
- Invest in your creativity. Buy branded graffiti materials. Or alternatively, you can make your own ink and markers. To do this, buy regular, affordable paint.
- Think about why you want to do graffiti. Some people feel like they are doing the right thing, but still many pursue the wrong goals. Looking cool among your friends is not the best reason.
- Your city may have laws against graffiti. Don't constantly paint on your own home.
- Paint graffiti in public places such as skate parks.
- Practice on large rocks. Later you can decorate them with paint.
- The most important thing is to be yourself in your work. Simple and clear.
- Respect, but do not worship famous graffiti artists.
- Do not use your real name, surname or patronymic in your work.
- Wear respirator masks when working indoors or in confined spaces.
- Wear a bandana to hide your face from cameras.
- Make sure no one sees you tagging.
- Go to Amazon and search for the video "How to learn to draw graffiti", it will help you a lot. Also find video from step by step instructions how to draw and design graffiti.
Every year the number of painted walls in our cities is rapidly increasing. This means that graffiti art is attracting more and more more people, and more specifically, the youth. Everyone who draws on walls calls themselves graffiti artists or writers, but not all of them are such. Many people start drawing only because it has become fashionable, and not everyone is good at it. As for the real masters, they didn’t give a damn about fashion. They are not looking for fame and recognition, but simply paint, leaving stunning pictures on the walls of the city.
If you have the desire and a little ability, then drawing graffiti will not be difficult. First, we draw a sketch (sketch), then, using paint, we transfer it to the wall. Very often there are significant differences between the sketch and the final result (graffiti on the wall). And some people don’t need sketches at all, they just pick up a can of paint and improvise. It just so happens that the Latin alphabet is used for inscriptions in graffiti, although there are also those who create beautiful inscriptions in Russian.
The art of graffiti is multifaceted and, like any other art, there are several directions. It is quite difficult to be able to draw in all directions, and not at all necessary, although some professionals believe that a real master should be able to do everything. So what are these directions?
Tagging - applying your own signature (tag) to walls, other cars, surfaces you like. It can be either one word or a whole phrase. Tagging is the ancestor of modern graffiti, originating in the 70s in New York.
Scratching - applying your tag to glass. This direction is similar to the previous one, but the inscription in the latter case This is done not with paint, but with a stone (mainly for sharpening knives) or, for example, with rough sandpaper on glass. It is impossible to erase or remove such a drawing (scratch), and this is perhaps its only advantage.
Bombing is the quick application of designs on any surface. The main thing here is speed, everything needs to be done as quickly as possible. Actually, bombing is illegal, and those who “bomb” risk getting caught by the police, and therefore they paint mostly at night, when no one sees them, and, of course, they do it very quickly.
Concept drawing is the most complex direction in graffiti, somewhat similar to traditional painting. This complex work, combining both inscriptions and drawings. Most often, making such drawings is legal, as it requires a large number of time and money costs. New School style belongs to this direction.
Draw in style
In addition to trends, there are also graffiti styles. Here are the most basic ones:
Old School simple styles closer to the classics.
Flat – flat drawing. When drawing in this style, the work turns out flat, not three-dimensional, the letters overlap each other. Usually they draw in two colors and do not detail the picture.
Bubble style – the history of the name of this style is very long. The name came from the first drawings, the letters of which looked like huge bubbles. Now this is the name for all simple graffiti, no complex elements, the color scheme is usually limited to two or three colors. The letters do not overlap each other; sometimes they are depicted in a “volumetric” style. This style of graffiti is mainly used for bombing. As they say, simple and fast.
Blockbusters and Throw-up – here size matters. The inscriptions made in this style are huge. To draw them, use a roller and wide caps.
Newschool - more modern and sophisticated styles.
Wild style – a style of high complexity. The interweaving of letters creates complex and original patterns, there is a certain illusion of three-dimensionality, there are details that make it difficult to understand the design, and a huge variety of colors. All this leads to the fact that not everyone can understand the drawing; it is most difficult for people unfamiliar with graffiti.
3D-style, FX-style is a combination of styles. The letters are given three-dimensionality, they differ in shape, size and location relative to the coordinate axis, the emphasis is on shadows.
Many graffiti artists use objects in their works in addition to inscriptions. The object can show off in the picture, replacing one letter, or be present in the picture in addition to the inscription. Writers also draw characs - a character they created, their “calling card”.
Letter of the law
Graffiti and the law are not always found mutual language. For example, decoration club, holding various competitions and participation in them is absolutely legal. Even if your neighbor asked you to paint his garage and dog house, this is also legal. As for everything else, serious problems can arise here. If you drew in the wrong place and you were caught, then officially you fall under the following articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: Art. 167 - intentional destruction or damage to property, Art. 214 – vandalism, Art. 243 - destruction or damage to cultural historical monuments. According to these articles, the fine is 100,000 rubles, and in addition, you may be arrested. This is if everything is official. In fact, everything can be decided with a much smaller amount of money than 100,000 rubles put into the pocket of a policeman’s uncle. In Moscow, for example, it is much easier to get rid of law enforcement officers than in St. Petersburg, where the beauty of the city is monitored very closely. But there is a chance not to get caught, even if you draw in a public place during daylight hours. The main thing is to be careful and clearly understand where you can draw and where it is strictly prohibited. There is, of course, another option, if you don’t want to give away money - drop everything, put your feet in your hands and go!
Choosing a place for drawing
Finding a good surface to paint on is very important. Firstly, you draw not only for yourself, but also so that your creation can be seen and noticed. Therefore, you need a surface in a public place. Secondly, don't forget about safety. Here the question arises: how to find a balance between this very safety and the popularity of your drawings? Try to find a place where the drawing will be seen, but you (while creating this drawing) will not. It's not easy, but it's possible.
Location is not the only criterion by which a surface for graffiti is chosen. The type of material you are going to paint on is also very important. An uneven surface such as a fence with an ornament, metal or unpainted wood is not suitable for painting. Do not draw on rust or whitewash, because then your drawings will not be called long-lived; they will disappear along with the top layer. But what really works is porous concrete (not to be confused with concrete slabs). And if you want to create the most suitable surface for drawing, prime it. And if you still decide to paint on metal, then you should take the trouble to degrease it so that the paint adheres better. Try not to draw in the rain and cold. The surface must remain dry. And in the cold the paint does not adhere well and dries slowly. And my hands are cold too.
How to draw
First let's talk about paints. They are sold in cylinders of different sizes (from 0.4 to 0.6 liters). Here are the most common:
Paint name Comment Average price
Abro One of the cheapest paints, fades quickly. Suitable for those who are not yet going to spend a lot on graffiti and do not expect longevity of the work. 105 rub.
Abro Sabotage Lasts a little longer than Abro. But the smell of paint is not the best, and is more suitable for female caps. 85 rub.
Montana Black One of the best paints. The new Montana Black is ideal for graffiti, hardly fades, adheres well and lasts a long time. 185 rub.
MTN Hardcore Suitable for bombing lovers. Quickly fills the surface with color due to high pressure. 170 rub.
MTN 94 Excellent paint, semi-matte, ideal for painting. Unique system valve allows you to regulate the pressure. 185 rub.
Belton Molotow Excellent paint, wide range of colors, perfect for use at low temperatures. A separate disadvantage is the rather high price. 205 rub.
If you see such names - Rust-Oleum, Dutch Boy, Red Devil, Sparvar - don’t be alarmed, these are also good paints, but they are rare in Russia.
Beginners usually use Montana for outlines and Abro for filling. It turns out decent and inexpensive. I strongly advise you not to buy Fiesta, King or Pride paints at auto stores; they are simply not suitable for wall art. It's too runny and dries slowly, so it will run and won't be able to cover the bottom color.
For outlining in bombing, you can also use a unique product that we sell - Mastic. Large volume, low price.
There is also the possibility of mixing colors. This is mainly done by professionals. Very good way saving and getting the right color. For example, they mix expensive and cheap paint, or when there is little paint left in different cylinders, it is poured from one cylinder to another. Transfusion technology is not simple, so beginners should not experiment. IN general outline They pour paint like this: the container from which the paint is poured is heated, and the container into which the paint is poured is cooled, then connected with a ballpoint pen and pressed...
As you already understand, paint alone is not enough. And besides paint, there are many more interesting things.
Caps are nozzles for spraying paint. They come in tonic and wide varieties. The former are intended for drawing contours, and the latter for creating a good, uniform fill, this is especially helpful when working with large surfaces. In principle, these caps are quite enough for creating graffiti, but if you want more variety and originality, you can purchase a set of calligraphic caps. They are designed for capital fonts, they have a rotating sprayer, and can be used to draw lines of varying thicknesses under different angles. There are two types of caps: male and female. Female caps have a hole in the base and fit onto a pin at the top of the cylinder. Male cap, on the contrary, is equipped with such a pin. Everything becomes extremely clear if you know the translation of the words male and female). A male cap is suitable for Montana, Belton and Abro cylinders, and a female cap is suitable for Abro Sabotage. Keep in mind that caps tend to become clogged with paint, so have a backup with you just in case. Some people make caps themselves. For example, to make an ultra-skinny (thin) cap, it is enough to solder a needle from a syringe into the spray hole. But the average price of one cap is about 15 rubles, so it’s easier to go to the store and not bother with a soldering iron.
A respirator is a reliable means of dealing with a chemical attack) But seriously, it is indispensable when working with paint, it is extremely harmful to the lungs. It is recommended to wear it both when working in confined spaces and outdoors. Without it, you can get asthma. As for the choice of a respirator, the choice mainly falls on the M3 company, and the price fluctuates around 1,500 rubles. If you need something cheaper, you can buy Soviet gas masks for 150 rubles, they will save you from everything. There is also an option for a Chinese mask - it is very cheap, 15 rubles. But the quality here is the same as the price.
Vandalizer is a wide marker, ideal for drawing on smooth surfaces. It is mainly used for tags. It is also good for correcting flaws or errors in the drawing, if any. But it’s better not to write on rough surfaces; it will erase quickly. The most popular vandalizer companies among graffiti artists are Montana, BOMB, On The Run or Aerosol Art. In the store you will have to pay from 150 to 250 rubles for them. The marker can be refilled. A paint palette (8-12 refills) costs 500 rubles. If the marker tip has become unusable, it can also be replaced. I do not recommend painting with a vandalizer larger than L on rough surfaces; it will be very difficult to find a new tip for it. Graffiti artists are very skilled craftsmen, so they can even make a vandalizer on their own. They use a shoe marker as a starting material, only they pour the paint into it themselves. And in order for the paint to mix with the solvent, they throw a steel ball there, for example, from a mouse or a bearing. To extend the life of the tag, gaffitists apply a layer of wax to it (for example, using an ordinary candle). Some people manage to make permanent paint by pouring a mixture of cheap varnish and varnish remover into a marker. One can only guess about the proportions...
Stencil – ready-made template for your drawing. You can cut it at home from a piece of linoleum or cardboard. First you need to come up with a sketch, then transfer it to cardboard or linoleum. Using a stencil, you can apply original drawings to the wall or draw tags in an extremely short time.
Gloves - to stay clean. No matter how hard you try to draw carefully and according to all the rules, you will still get dirty. When sprayed, the paint will still fall on your hands or drip from the top of the can, especially if you haven’t changed the cap for a long time. If you are not afraid of getting dirty and you are not allergic to paint, then you don’t have to wear gloves in the summer. Although there is nothing difficult about buying a pair of medical gloves at the pharmacy for 2 rubles and not having to wash off the paint afterwards.
To avoid making mistakes
So you've bought some paint, found a suitable surface to paint on, and are eager to get started. Have you forgotten anything? There's one more thing you should consider:
Do not paint over the inscriptions on the wall with a single color unless the sketch requires it. Graffiti paint is opaque, so it will cover anything. Even white can paint over black.
Don't forget the background! Many novice writers make this mistake: they start with an outline and then paint over it. The result is, to put it mildly, not very pretty. To prevent the same thing from happening to you, first draw a sketch using the background color of the main inscription, then the background, then the outline.
Sometimes it happens that the paint flows. If you start stopping it with your hands, sleeves, etc., this is unlikely to save your drawing. Most the best option– wait until the paint dries and then paint over the drips in the right color. You can also grab an ordinary sponge from home and, if the paint suddenly runs, blot the drips.
Caps should be cleaned after each use. To do this, turn the cylinder over and hold the cap pressed for five seconds. The paint will stop coming out, and then you can safely put the can aside. But if you haven’t done this, you can throw away the cap, it’s no longer good for anything.
Before starting work, test the paint, otherwise you may ruin the drawing. Spray some paint on the ground or another area of the wall that you won't need to check to see if the cap is okay, installed correctly, etc. And if the container is new, then precautions are doubly necessary, since in the first seconds of drawing it can “spit” paint.
Writers also have their own “code of honor” and must be observed. Never touch other people's work, no matter what it is. Don't sign other people's drawings and don't spoil clean walls.
It is best to start by priming the working surface so that the paint adheres better and nothing unnecessary remains on the wall (for example, old drawings). For primer, you can use enamel or water-based paint. Enamel is a better option, since it is more durable than water-based emulsion, and the colors are brighter. It can be used as a background by adding a little different paint, thereby creating the desired color.
The term "graffiti" is translated from Italian as "scribbled drawings." IN modern concept These are images or inscriptions made in ink or spray on any surface. This type of art also includes a street branch - wall painting.
History of appearance
The first graffiti on the walls dates back to ancient times. They are most widespread in Ancient Rome, Greece, in the East. A striking example This can be illustrated by the famous paintings of the catacombs in the capital of Italy.
In addition, such drawings gained wide popularity in Mesoamerica back in pre-Columbian times. The Mayans were the most successful in this. Just look at their city of Tikal with its unique and clear wall paintings. Also, graffiti is still found in ancient Scandinavian and Romanesque churches, on burial mounds in Ireland.
During the Renaissance, writing on walls made everything famous artists, even Raphael, Lippi, Michelangelo, Pinturicchio and others. They came up with their own grotesque styles, which were subsequently repeated by their students. At the beginning of the 20th century in Egyptian pyramids Numerous graffiti were found on the walls (see photo below). Traditionally, traces were left behind by Napoleon's soldiers during the campaign of conquest. Lord Byron also scratched his initials several times. Soviet soldiers left their mark on the walls of the Reichstag on the day the Second World War ended.
Today, graffiti on the walls of houses is a street subtype of art, which many compare to acts of vandalism. Nevertheless, this is a very popular form of self-expression among today's youth. It is not for nothing that she is considered closely related to hip-hop culture. By the way, in many civilized cities street artists huge areas are allocated for their undoubtedly complex and labor-intensive art.
Becoming graffiti
IN South America art came through the Brazilian slums. It’s not for nothing that today Sao Paulo is considered the center of street culture. This is where graffiti appeared on a brick wall for the first time. Since ancient times, thousands of young and promising artists have come to Brazil, seeking recognition through their mesmerizing images and inscriptions. Interestingly, New York competes with Sao Paulo for the right to be considered the capital of graffiti.
In the Middle East, street art is developing at a slow pace. The largest concentrations of alternative artists are observed in the big cities of Israel, the UAE and Iran. It is noteworthy that it is in these countries that graffiti artists are considered illegal, and their work is considered vandalism. In Israel, huge amounts of money are allocated to combat this type of art. In this region, graffiti on walls often takes a religious form.
In Russia, the so-called bombing trend is developing - illegal images or inscriptions on state or private property. Both law enforcement agencies and social services are fighting against such manifestations of vandalism. The graffiti movement in the country began in the 1980s.
Graffiti styles
Today, there are several main variations of street art. One of the most common styles is called tagging. Such inscriptions contain a meaningful message from the author or his initials, identifying him among many other artists. Sometimes mysterious messages are encrypted in tags. An offshoot of the style is pissing. It is characterized by the use of a fire extinguisher filled with paint to create tags up to 5-6 m high.
Bombing is considered the most common in Eastern Europe graffiti style on the walls (see photo below). Such inscriptions or images are applied quickly. A minimum of colors is used, sometimes artists resort to stencils. This type of street art is illegal in most countries around the world.
"Wild Style" is a complex variation of graffiti on the wall. His distinctive features are considered sharp corners and endless tangles of letters.
Application Basics
To create graffiti on the wall, artists use a whole arsenal of devices and tools that an inexperienced beginner does not even know about. The main attribute of application is aerosol paint. It is sold in special cans. The second important nuance is the caps. These are paint sprayers that differ in hole diameter. An experienced artist has a whole set of spray cans and caps in his arsenal. Also, do not forget about a respirator and safety glasses so that the fumes do not corrode your eyes.
Some artists use prepared stencils for individual elements of the design. They can be quickly made from any dense material. It is recommended to spray paint in close proximity to the stencil so as not to stain the rest of the surface. To work on large drawings, you should take several pairs of thick gloves with you.
Home graffiti
In an apartment, it is best to use for drawing a picture or inscription. aerosol paints. They are harmless and dry quickly. Graffiti on the wall in an apartment will not only diversify the interior, but will also help disguise flaws in the layout.
The advantages of such drawings are that they are able to zone and increase space. The theme of home graffiti can be different: from children's to alternative chaos.
Aerosol designs are durable and bright. The paint lays down in a perfectly thin layer on the surface. If necessary, the wall can be repainted at any time.
Where to start applying
First, you should prepare the surface. For optimal paint atomization, the wall must be primed. At the next stage, it is important to choose the color scheme of the picture and decide on its size. All aspects of the image must be thought out to the smallest detail. Once you start applying there is no turning back.
It will be worth taking care of a sketch of the drawing on paper or a tablet. Beginning artists can transfer an image onto a surface using a projector to trace important contours and lines.
To create graffiti on the wall you will need brushes, paint, working spray cans, caps different sizes, respirator and gloves.
Before you start drawing a picture on the surface, you can practice on the side: test your strength; see what the colors look like; what line width is needed, etc.
It is important to understand that graffiti does not like to be rushed. You should draw measuredly, with smooth movements.
To protect your hands from paint, it is better to use rubber gloves. They make the brush more sensitive to the spray can.
Don't skimp on paint. High-quality spray cans are the key to durable and beautiful graffiti on the wall.
Shake the can well before using it. The solvent and paint should mix well.
When drawing, the can should only be held vertically.
Nowadays, graffiti is very popular among young people, but not everyone can draw graffiti beautifully and stylishly. “VKontakte” even has a special program, but we will try to learn how to draw graffiti on paper with a pencil, then coloring the resulting inscription with paints or colored felt-tip pens.
1. Choose a style for your word
Probably almost every one of us has come across graffiti-style inscriptions on the streets. Sometimes the city authorities even allocate special places for them. If not, then look on the Internet, there is a lot of such information and images.
It is difficult to talk about all the styles of graffiti in a short article. We can only note that the most popular and fairly easy style is graffiti with rounded letter shapes. This style is called Bubble. You can choose rounded or sharp edges of letters, equal in size or capital letters, and some of them are smaller, etc. It's easier to imitate a style than to invent it, but once you get it right draw graffiti, you can develop your own style.
2. Write the word on paper
You can choose any word for graffiti. The main thing is to leave a lot of space between the letters, since you will be expanding them and filling the space between them. Make the space large enough to allow room for other layers, but not so large that there are large gaps.
3. Graffiti style from letter structure
You need to draw graffiti with light pencil strokes, as you may have to correct some lines and small mistakes. This activity will require a lot of time and patience to get all the letters in the chosen style. Remember that in graffiti you need to draw words in an original way, if possible without copying anyone, without this there is no way to do graffiti. Don't be afraid to change the letters beyond recognition.
4. Line thickness options
You can make all the lines the same thickness, but you can do shading and 3D effects. For example, the top and one side of a "C" may be very wide, while the bottom and other side are tapered. Use a pencil to vary the thickness if you're going to darken with ink or marker, so you don't want the color to be pitch black. This way you can imagine how the line thickness will change appearance letters.
5. Add additional effects
Once you are done drawing the letters, you can add additional effects to your graffiti. Perhaps one of the letters will represent lightning or a drop, experiment. The letter with peeking eyes in the letter “P” looks very impressive. You can place a bubble around the word, just like in the comics. The possibilities of graffiti are limited only by your imagination and imagination.
6. Copy the graffiti drawing
If you have made any serious mistakes while coloring the graffiti, then you will not be able to continue painting it correctly. Be sure to copy the drawing made in pencil before final drawing or coloring. Use the scanner settings so that all shades and effects are reflected correctly on the copy paper.
7. Make shadows with a soft pencil
Using a pencil or marker, you can darken the lines you drew in pencil. These lines are more or less permanent, so be extremely careful. Don't be discouraged by small mistakes, you can correct them so that they are not noticeable. Say, if the line is too thick or you go outside the line, just fill it in to create extra volume.
8. Draw single-color graffiti letters
To fill in your words with color, you can look at other examples first, but don't fill in the letters with a pencil. The pencil makes only a single-color drawing, despite the abundance of shadows and shades. And graffiti must be bright and catchy, which can only be achieved with paint.
9. Coloring graffiti letters
Almost no graffiti work is done with just one color. You can also fill in each letter different colors or just do it in a slightly different color. You can only make additional parts of a different color. But it's not worth it draw graffiti too colorful. Bright colors will distract from the main effect of the graffiti and will not focus attention on the word.

Art
A type of art is the so-called graffiti. It would seem that just a couple of years ago such inscriptions and drawings were known only in the most major cities United States of America, and now even children in Russia know what it is. Few people know that graffiti is a fairly ancient art. If at one time this form of “drawing” could be considered acceptable, now this is not the case, although competitions and even protests are already being held in different cities of Russia, where schoolchildren draw graffiti, and it is far from the same as in America. Our children draw decent pictures, the most popular of which are those made on the theme of the Great Patriotic War.
What can I say, even pensioners who went through the war are happy to see graffiti on the walls, made as a gift to them for saving Russia from the Nazis. But that’s not about that now.

Anyone can draw a picture, but you will have to spend a lot of time learning this type of art. Nobody argues, there are self-taught people who draw better than some professionals, but know that it would be best to go to a special graffiti school, where they will teach you everything related to this art form. If there is no such school in your city, you will have to study on your own, but to do this you need to first learn the theory.
Graffiti and its types
To put it bluntly, it can be argued that graffiti is inscriptions and drawings on various walls, train cars and completely other surfaces. Graffiti on paper with a pencil for beginners step by step is what you need, since you have come to this page. Graffiti is, first of all, a form of art, so inscriptions like “Petya was here” or “CSK is a champion” are not graffiti - these are ordinary inscriptions on a quick fix, so don't get confused.
As you probably already understood, graffiti is divided into several types:
- Writing is the main category of painting on city streets, which includes a variety of inscriptions and very beautiful pictures.
- Bombing - This form is called an extreme pattern. Why is that? Because here it doesn’t matter how beautiful and pleasant the drawing is to people, the main thing is where and under what conditions the inscription or drawing was made. Similar designs can be seen on train carriages or car doors.
- Tagging - simplest form similar drawings, which is an ordinary simple signature of the artist.
- Scratching is graffiti drawings that are made using a special stone cutting glass.
On paper, you can only perform tagging and, in fact, writing.
Tagging
Before you start drawing in this format, you should come up with the word that you will use in your drawing. Graffiti on paper with a pencil will not take you very much time, however, in order to draw a real worthwhile tag, you will need to try.
The essence of the tag is the ordinary signature of the person who draws; in other words, when drawing graffiti in this form, you can use either your real name or surname, or some invented pseudonym. You can only assess the complexity of an inscription by reading it, that is, the harder your inscription is to read, the more difficult it is to complete. In no case do not forget to decorate the letters you draw with various curls and your own author’s elements. Write the words in an original way so that it is difficult to read, but at the same time the graffiti looks more than good. Don't forget to use the basic tagging elements: stars, crowns, dots, etc.
Rating
If you're one of those people who already knows how to draw something, tagging is probably very helpful for you. simple task. In such a situation, you need to try yourself in more complex form graffiti on paper with a pencil, which is called in art as writing.
First of all, it would be best to depict some specific inscription, for example, ideally name would be suitable(both your own and someone else’s - even your most beloved dog). You can also use favorite word or something similar.
For beginners in this business, the following graffiti is ideal. For beginners, it will be easier to try drawing on paper with a pencil in a strict style and large size. In no case, if this is your first time drawing a writing, you should not try to depict something first-class, try to write some word of 3-5 letters.
Bottom line
Today you learned the types of graffiti, with a simple pencil on paper that can be drawn without any problems. Few people could have guessed that graffiti is already considered an official art form. Also, not everyone is aware that this was invented many years ago. Did you know that in different cities Russian Federation Are competitions held very often (especially in summer) among lettering professionals?
Many were not aware of the types of graffiti: writing, bombing, tagging and scratching. Unfortunately, only two of these types are suitable for drawings on paper. Graffiti on paper with a pencil is not the last type in this art. Many of the most famous graffiti professionals started out drawing their images and words on paper as well, and are now receiving huge amounts of money for painting on houses.
Do you like to draw, but don’t know if you can make a high-quality picture? So why not try it!? Do not under any circumstances draw on buildings, because this is simply prohibited by the legislation of our state; draw breathtaking inscriptions on paper!
