How to Write in Graffiti Writing

Write in the graffiti style by researching the art and practicing the technique.

When people think of graffiti writing, they may see it as an illegal activity. However, there are many graffiti writings and images that are considered art. In some cases, graffiti artists are commissioned to create graffiti designs. Write in the graffiti style by studying graffiti art and practicing. Graffiti writing is usually larger than traditional writing and can be enhanced with different colors.

Things You'll Need

• Paper
• Pencil
• Markers
• Colored pencils

Instructions

1. Choose the style of graffiti writing that you want to try. There are two main types of graffiti writing: rigid brick-like letters and bubble letters. Study the style you have chosen by viewing graffiti art in your area or by looking at images online.

2. Choose a word or phrase that you want to write in graffiti writing. If you are writing in rigid brick-like graffiti writing, create sharp edges on the letters. If you are writing in bubble graffiti writing, create round edges on the letters.

3. Create letters that are larger than others. In graffiti writing, the sizes of the letters are sometimes uneven. Apply on some areas of the letters to create a 3D effect. Use a pencil to shade.

4. Use a pencil to darken the lines of the letters and make them stand out. Color in the graffiti letters with markers or colored pencils.
