Draw Graffiti On Paper


Draw Graffiti On Paper

I do not have to encourage you to attract non-official graffiti in public places, at the end of the day that is illegal, so the decision is yours! Ideally, stick to the painting in places where you have permission to do so.

Graffiti is the art of the end! This is an art that allows you to express yourself. Many people think graffiti is vandalism, but they just did not take the time to really look at the skills involved in producing the work.

So, you want to know how to draw graffiti, or how to improve existing skills? There is real hard and fast rules. But here are some guidelines:
  1. Letter graffiti usually overlap each other to some degree
  2. Letter graffiti drawn in the 3D effects
  3. Graffiti art is usually painted with bright colors that attract attention, because attention is a primary goal of graffiti is better to start studying and practicing the skills you draw graffiti on a small scale, and then once you have mastered the techniques, think about transferring jobs You are on a larger canvas, like a wall. To start a small scale you need a pencil to sketch the letters, something like a standard HB lead is enough.
There are several online sites where you can go to get some ideas graffiti fonts, some of these sites allow you to enter text and drawings make the text in a different sample letters. I've included some links to some graffiti sites below for you to see and get some idea of the font. Simply print the font sample that you like and use it to copy from. Once you are satisfied with the letters and the text you've drawn, they began to color with a permanent marker. Choose bright colors for maximum effect. First, use a good signal to track the line round the letter. Furthermore, to obtain or 3D effects occur, use a different color for the shaded area around the inside of the letters that you just described.

If you have chosen to paint graffiti on your wall, mark a rectangle on the wall in the proportion of small-scale your drawing. Chalk, charcoal or white paint thinner ideal for this exercise, basically using something that can be painted with ease. Then the rectangle into a box small box (draw a similar box on the small-scale works of art as well). Both grid will help you scale your image with a larger size in the wall while maintaining the same proportions. Next using chalk or charcoal to sketch the outlines of the letters. Once you have sketched the lines on your grid, the background color in your work with diluted paint using aerosol or roller, white or beige is best. Keeping a thin layer of your background! If the background has dried, use aerosol cans to paint a different color of your text. Start with the lightest color first, and largest region, leaving the details until last.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

Here's an interview by Galerie d'art Yves Laroche with Omen, of Taichung Four Crew. Omen is currently painting in Montreal.













YL :You've lived in Asia for  a minute, right? Tell me about painting nights there.

O : It was awesome! I lived in Taichung,Taiwan. I lived there for 4 years. I can bust Chinese and everything. When I got there there was only about 12 graffiti writers in the whole country! With a population of around 25 million  you can see how that is just crazy. I was bombing around town with this paint called PP SPRAY ( all the pressure and twice the lead.haha.) with stock caps no less. And I saw some other guys were bombing as well. Mostly 3 other guys but I had no way of meeting them. So one day I was walking by my piece and underneath it was sprayed "omen. do you want to paint with me" and 2 check boxes with "yes" and  "no". later that night I checked "yes" and then went to another spot and dropped a piece with my email address. But before they could reply to that message my friend Jessica told me she ran into them (it was two guys SAME and BOBO) and they were coming to the restaurant I was eating at. It was pretty awkward because my chinese at this point sucked and all we were doing was meeting to paint. After that we did the first production in Taichung the largest piece in all of Taiwan and went bombing pretty much all the time together. I miss them. It's not the same as here. There you have freedom at the price of no laws while here it is the opposite. One day. One day. Now there is at least 30 writers there , ha, and I keep track of what is going on there via flickr.

Love Minus Zero/ No Limit

I don't get to get out as much anymore to find new graf around town, but this is right across the street from my house, so it was something to do on a busy Sunday. Seems like someone working in my neighborhood who calls himself Zero. I hope to see some more of his stuff soon.


















There was also some stuff left over from when the lot was a bar that I never saw open.

Angel Baby

There have been a couple new stencils here and there around town. Here's one from the corner of Da Long and Dong Hsing Rd.

An Empty Suit/Nice Threads

Saw this new stencil on the way home from work last night. I've seen another one or two somewhere but have already forgotten where.
