as an act of crime although the action is mostly done in public places and
transportation. In order to appreciate a form of art, there is a saying that

Therefore, here are some tips, especially for amateurs, regarding how to draw graffiti easily.
At the first
place, you ought to prepare some tools, such as pencil, paper, erasers,
colorings, and other things you might need. Then, decide a name, a tag, or a
word to begin drawing your graffiti. Draft it out on a piece of paper or on a
sketchbook.
Sketch the lines
and shapes in order to form letters. Add specific styles to make the lettering
sharp and rounded because the sharp rounded letters are considerably easy to
distinguish and read. Besides, you can also develop your graffiti style by
mixing it up with your personal style, so that can really reflect your
personality, taste, and interest. The next way is to sharpen and also
strengthen the outlines. You can apply various outlining styles like thin or
thick. This will give a 3D illusion to the letter you make. Add details to
perfect the letters.
Yet, ensure
you do not exaggerate the drawing since it precisely just lessens the natural
artful impression of a graffiti work. Then, make the outlines bold by using
black markers, pen, paint, colored pencils, or other coloring tools. Work
carefully since small mistakes in graffiti can actually ruin the entire look of
graffiti itself. Lastly, how to draw the graffiti with more distinctive features? Add textures to the letters, make
them colorful, and also spray your drawing with aerosol-spray paint to make the
colors blended well and smooth.
