Draw Graffiti Letters

Though the style you choose for your graffiti letters is ultimately up to you, there are a few standards that go for all graphics. Method one outlines a simple, foolproof way of creating vivid, stylized graffiti letters; method two takes on the same task in a more complex, skillful manner. Pencil at the ready!

1.Simple Graffiti

-Draw the outline sketch for the letters in pencil.

-Add actual lines for the graffiti designs on the letters. Most graffiti designs are connected, intersecting or on top of one part of the other.

-Fill in the basic colors.

-Add darker tone on the graffiti colors.

-Add more details by drawing a design on the graffiti. You can choose any design that you want. Metallic, balloon, fluffy, gummy, and so on. I chose drawing cracked lines on the sample.

-Add the cast shadow to complete the graffiti.

2.Complex Graffiti Design

-Draw the outline sketches for the letters.

-Add the actual lines for the graffiti designs on the letters. Draw pointed lines intersecting the others.

-Erase the unnecessary lines.

-Fill in the basic color.

-Add the highlights and shadows.

-Instead of adding shadows, choose a bright color that is contrasting the colors of the letters. Graffiti colors almost always have contrasting colors. However, you can also use colors that complement each other.

-Add more designs on the background to finish the graffiti.
