Draw a Graffiti Tag
Graffiti is a widely practiced form of art, most often as street art. Graffiti is usually done with spray paint and has a funky style that has blossomed into an entire graffiti culture--shoes, clothes and even photography dedicated to graffiti designs are available for interested consumers. A graffiti tag is like a sort of signature that a particular artist will use to mark all of his or her work. Drawing a graffiti tag is easy if you have a good idea of what graffiti style font you'd like to use.
Instructions
1. Use a pencil to lightly draw a square on a piece of paper with the preferred size of the graffiti tag. This box will help you concentrate on the graffiti tag as you are drawing it without worrying about disproportionate letters.
2. Draw out the first letter of the word you wish to use in the graffiti tag, using a printout of your preferred graffiti font for a reference if necessary. For samples of graffiti alphabets, go to http://www.mrwiggles.biz/graffiti_alphabets.htm. Graffiti letters are steadily outlined with different characteristics, such as rounded or sharpened corners and letters that lean.
3. Continue to draw out the graffiti tag, taking it one letter at a time. Start by drawing the letter out very lightly, adjusting and correcting any mistakes, then drawing over the finished letter with strong, bold lines. Use the side of your pencil tip to shade any letters accordingly. Make sure that the letters flow together and the finished tag looks like one solid product rather than individual solid letters.
4. Use an eraser to remove the original box.
