How to Draw Graffiti Letters - Write Jacob in Cool Letters

Have you observed the graffiti downtown? If you haven't, then take a peek this weekend and look closely to find out what I mean about self-expression. After checking it out, you'll see that graffiti is not pure vandalism after all. In fact there are organizations or groups of people who became well-known because of graffiti and are now paid well to create it.
One such group is the TATS CRU in New York who are paid to paint on street walls, subways and streets. Tats Cru claim to be "The mural kings who have changed public opinion of graffiti as an art form and have taken it to new heights." It is no longer seen as vandalism.
If you want to learn this art form, start the easy way to become a graffiti king. Grab a large piece of paper-preferably plain newsprint which is cheap, use a piece of charcoal or graphite pencil, and start with a few letters all in caps. Keeping it large will help you when you get to that huge wall that looks inviting!
It is best to take a look at some of the graffiti writing on Google images, you'll find a myriad of styles but choose one you like and copy it (for practice only.) You can use markers but using them on newsprint, they tend to bleed too much.
After you've practiced a bit, stand back and view your work. If you see one you really like and think it is great, you're ready to attack the nearest wall!
The practice run is over and you have chosen your own personal style--but wait a bit, isn't is pretty near so many of the other style you've seen? Can you differentiate it as your own? If not, back to the drawing board for a little more practice please.
The bubble-style graffiti is global; you find it on every wall in Africa, America and even Timbuktu. So make yours unique. How? Experiments as these dudes have done in New York-try straight and curved lines instead of all curves-or try dashes. Yeah, you CAN be creative!
If you want to create your own style it would be prudent for you to conceive your own signature but this may take some time to develop. When you have finally decided on the style you like, start drawing freely and add all sorts of other characters to it like dingbats.
Make your letters look bold and stylish. And to make it look 3D, your light source should come from the top left of your drawingand the shadows would fall at the bottom right of each letter. You can create great effects just inside your outlines by using a different color and by not following your outlines exactly.

The goal is to develop a site with his Graffiti tag (a kind of signature or unique feature on your dash). Focus on standardizing the height and width of his letters, as a Graffiti looks better when symmetrical.

The fields "Width", "Height"and "Rotation" apply and change height, width and rotation of the lyrics. Move the sliders to achieve the desired effects. In the menu on the right, note that there are several options, such as "Coat", "Tween" and "Stripes. " Click on these menus to work in specific areas of the lyrics:

"Coat" represents the total fulfillment of the letters, "Tween", "Stripes, " "Bubbles ", "Arrows", "Stars"and "Glaze" are effects that can be used individually or combined.

In "Outlines, " you work outside lines, and can highlight them on "Highlight". "Inline" are the edges and "Background " allows you to change the background color of the art.

You can include or exclude each of these items, and set the transparency for each. One tip is to concentrate first on the style of the letters, then the colors of each style applied.

You can print the results by clicking the "Print"for that. (by http://guardian-graffiti-alphabet.blogspot.com)

Before the group turned to political art their work including entertainment figures like Michael Jackson.

U.S. President Barack Obama is another of the group's non-corruption paintings.

Graffiti Artists

Finding graffiti artists for hire can be difficult if you do not know where to look.  Many people think of graffiti in a negative way - they think of people who are out there defacing property.  This is not the case when it comes to those who are actually out there to make things look nicer and are using their talents in a way that will draw attention to whatever it is that they choose to paint.  Those who hire a graffiti artist are getting a competent artist who understands this art form and can create a masterpiece, often on a large scale.
 
One example of why someone would want to hire a graffiti artist is because they want to create a mural.  This can be outside of their company, on the side of their vehicle as well and even for signs.  Graffiti artists for hire have a way of making their art form known. The reason that we notice graffiti, real graffiti and not just people spray painting, is because it is usually very colourful and in many cases, quite artistic.  They tend to use a lot of bold colours and patterns that are designed to get people to notice whatever it is that they have to say.  These are not street thugs who are out there to cause damage, but true artists who can use anything as a canvas to state their point.
Naturally, those who want to also cause a sensation and get people to notice them, or usually their business, can engage these artists for money and then get them to create something unique for them. This is a different type of art form that can work for all types of advertising.  Even on a small scale, such as the design of a t-shirt, these artists can make work for them.  Those who really want to draw attention to themselves or their business are wise to consider these artists to help them along.

Does Graffiti Qualify as Art?

Since its birth, graffiti, or graffito in singular form, has always met two very conflicting views from people. For the conservatives, it is nothing more than a form of vandalism. For the modernists, it is an art form. Consisting from simple scratches to elaborate paintings on the wall, this art form is ancient and, like time, has evolved a hundred fold. In earliest times, the cavemen used it on the cave walls to depict their day to day activities, and the ancient Greeks used it in "modern style" to advertise prostitution. In this manner, the Greeks carved a handprint that looks like a heart beside a footprint and a number, indicating that a brothel is near. The Romans used it to carve love poems, love letters, alphabets, slogans or any other messages that they want to convey to the public in general in a fast way, on their walls and monuments. For them, it was a way of advertising and easy information dissemination. Not only did they do the art form in letters, they also had it in pictures. An example of this would be a second century carving of a crucified donkey that many believe to be a depiction of Jesus Christ.
Despite the many reproofs, famous artists and painters had made use of it for plain amusement or for their profession. At one time, Renaissance artists such as Raphael, Michelangelo, Filippino Lippi, Pinturrichio, and Ghirlandaio went to visit Nero's Domus Aurea ruins and carved, or painted, their names resulting to a new style of decoration of that era. A lot of evidences provide information that the Americans, the French, the Egyptians, the Malays, the Japanese and the Chinese of early times had also made use of it. This just goes to show that no matter how hard some people refute and regard it as junk, this certain art form is part of their culture and history.

In this day and time, graffiti has evolved greatly and has become part and parcel of the hip hop society and culture. With the technology available at hand, instead of carving the messages or images on the walls, the ones who make use of this art form now make use of the most handy aerosol spray cans, making it the most used tool for the modern art form. Because of this, graffiti has become a street art form and along with it emerged new styles. The first one is the basic form called the tag style. Because of its ease in execution being just a representation of an artist's name, it is most often used to gain recognition and as a signature of a larger piece. Next is where one makes a layer of color then outlines it with another color. This is called the throw-up style. Next style is the blockbuster style, which is made up of block letters making it very easy to read. The last style is called wild style and is made up of blended letters which are highly decorated.

Drip drip drip DROP!

1.  I used Iphoto to edit this photo.  I cropped it to 5x7 than I fixed the exposure, saturation, sharpness and detail.
2. I picked this photo because of the number of water drops in the photo and the amount of detail in the drops.  I also like the flowers that are in the photo.
3.  I really like the detail in the drops and the fact that they are very crisp and no blurry.
4.  I would crop it in more- the reason I cropped it here is because I wanted the texture in the flower- however now that I look at it I would crop it more so you don't see the cars.
