How to Draw 3D Graffiti Letters
Graffiti letters are an impressive way of expressing one's self. One of the most impressive aspects of graffiti is the little amount of time that an artist has to complete their masterpiece before someone witnesses their crime and calls the police.
There are a few techniques to speed up the process and create professional-looking 3D graffiti letters. We are going to demonstrate a beginner's technique that involves carbon paper. This will help you to easier understand how the process works.

How To Draw 3D Graffiti Letters
-
1
Write your text on a blank sheet of white paper using a thick marker.
-
2
Trace around the outsides of all your letters until they start to balloon out and start touching each other. You will now have a nice thick set of text. This will be your master guide. You can now replicate this text to near perfection using a sheet of carbon paper.

3
Tape down a blank piece of paper to a table.
-
4
Set your text paper on top of it, being sure to sandwich your carbon paper in between the two sheets.
-
5
Trace around the text, pressing the carbon onto the blank sheet of paper underneath.
-
6
After making a duplication, you can now offset the top piece of paper as you see fit.
-
7
Trace the text again and you will now have two copies of your text almost directly on top of each other.
-
8
Erase the carbon from the inside of the text you would like to use as your primary and fill in the secondary text that will become your shadow.
-
9
You have now created 3D text and should be able to understand how it works. Have fun learning new methods and being able to move away from the carbon paper.
