Graffiti is a type of visual art. You can meet graffiti on the walls of houses. At first glance, these are large drawings, beautiful and obscure to the average person. To understand the artist’s handwriting, you need to look closely and carefully consider the drawing.
Graffiti is a relatively new art form. They are mainly used by young people. America is considered the birthplace of graffiti, and graffiti appeared in Russia much later.
It is best to start drawing graffiti not with a can on the wall, but with an ordinary pencil on paper.
A good start might be to add a “third” dimension to your name or signature. Your goal is to make the inscription voluminous. The complexity and intricacy of the pattern will serve as an additional attraction of attention.
You can try to draw other drawings and come up with your own characters. Choose a “tag” for yourself and practice until you learn how to draw it “automatically”. Experiment more with colors. Even simple multi-colored drawings look prettier than black and white.
In order to try to deal with graffiti, the desire and natural ability to draw is enough.
When choosing a place to paint on the street, remember that graffiti in public places is prohibited by law, but there are a large number of abandoned places in the city where you can try your hand at this art form. Sometimes construction organizations are looking for specialists to design fences at construction sites.
There are residents of houses who are not against such a design of their entrances and houses.
You may need a primer for the painting if the wall is porous. A ladder and artificial lighting will also come in handy for drawing in the dark. Respirator recommended. It will protect your respiratory tract from harmful paint fumes. Remember about gloves, thin medical gloves are usually suitable. Saving and buying the cheapest paint cans is not the best option, but spending money on expensive paint is completely useless. The best option would be to purchase cans of paint in several colors at an average price.
First make a background for the general drawing, and only then do the drawing itself. The sketch of the picture is first done with paint in the background color, then the outline is drawn. And only after that, “author’s” marks are added to the drawing. If a smudge appears on the drawing, you need to wait until it dries, after which you can paint it over. A few hours of your work will leave unforgettable drawings.
