How to Draw 3D Graffiti

3D graffiti has an amazing way of playing with our eyes. Even though it tickles our brains, it is actually quite easy to do. You can obtain an impressive 3D perspective in just a few steps by creating shadows and giving definition to your shapes.

Things You'll Need

• Spray paint
• Blank surface

Instructions

1. Clean your blank surface.

2. Apply a solid, single color coat of paint in the shape(s) you want to your blank surface, and let it dry. This is your shadow.

3. Using a different color, paint a duplicate shape on top of your previous coat. But this time, offset it a little bit in one direction. Your graffiti is already starting to have perspective.

4. Add small strokes of a darker hue on the second shape. This gives it even more definition.

Tips & Warnings

• Pay attention to your perspective.

• Make sure all your shadows are consistent with the same light source.

• Always use spray paint in a well-ventilated area.
