Cum sa faci un desen graffiti in cativa pasi!
On February - 5 - 2010 | Vizualizari: 2126 ADD COMMENTS
In timp de oamenii asociaza graffurile cu vandalismul, este, de asemenea, o arta apreciata inca din antichitate. Cuvantul italian graffiti a fost derivat provenind de la “graphein” din greaca si inseamna “a scrie”, si a fost aplicat pe pereti in vremea romanilor. In general graffiti denota scrisuri artistice sau desene. Acesta se face intr-un mod in care sa nu se vandalizeze sau… sa se incalce legea. De-a lungul anilor, stilurile distinctiv au evoluat, care pot fi imediat recunoscute ca graffiti, chiar si atunci cand este scris pe o bucata de hartie. Ca in orice arta, nu trebuie sa ai un drept pentru a copia sau a te inspira, dar ai pentru a-ti dezvolta propiul stil cu care sa iesi in fata.Acest articol va furnia elemente de baza, pentru a face un graffiti pe suport de hartie, cu mai multe elemente de inspiratie.
1. Trebuie sa te familiarizezi cu diferite stiluri de graffiti. Oriunde ai trai , probabil, prin apropiere exista si graffuri sau desene obscene scrise pe orice bloc. Daca nu , viziteaza un oras in care predomina graffurile (Brasov, Bucuresti etc). Daca acest lucru nu este posibil du-te online, unde sunt sute de graffiti-uri cu casete de prezentare, ce examineaza printr-un tur virtual toate stilurile din intreaga lume (www.fatcap.com). Unele stiluri sunt de mare calitate, dar sunt si unele de mai joasa speta.
2. Nota-ti un nume pe hartie. Incepeti cu orice cuvant, dar numele dumneavoastra este cea mai buna alegere pentru incepatori. Cei mai seriori, artisti ai graffiti-ului incep prin dezvoltarea unei semnaturi unic. Daca esti incepator iti sugerez sa scrii pe o foaie toate majusculele numelui. Utilizati un creion cu care sa se traga usor liniile majusculelor, ca sa fie sterse mai tarziu. Lasa-ti destul spatiu intre litere, le veti umple si extinde mai tarziu. Asigurati-va ca lucrarea dumneavoastra este cat de cat mare, dar nici chiar enorma ca sa numai puteti termina desenul. BINGO! Desenul tau arata acum ca niste blocuri. De asemenea pune niste stelute sau cercuri in interiorul literelor.
3. Alege ti un stil pentru numele dumneavoastra. Desenele in stil bubble sunt cele mai populare in graffiti, dar exista si alte stiluri, de asemenea. Puteţi avea margini rotunjite sau ascutite, de dimensiuni la fel sau unele cu litere mari si unele mici etc. Este simplu sa iti creezi un stil, cauti poze pe net si corcesti literele intre ele. Odată ce aţi învăţa bazele, vă puteţi dezvolta un stil propriu în mod natural.
4. Puteţi face toate liniile de aceeaşi grosime (in creion), dar intr-un final poate veti adauga si un 3d la litere(acum sau cand trasati in marker).Facand acest pas acum, puteţi obţine grosimi preferabile inainte de a trasa liniile permanente cu marker-ul.
5. Odată ce desenele tale sunt, după cum vi le doriţi, puteţi adăuga detalii suplimentare – cu creionul poti adauga lumina – . Poate că un fulger pentru un punct de “i”, ar fi bine, sau ochii in gaurile de la “B” sunt excelente.. Puteţi pune un balon în jurul numelui întreg, ca şi în cărţi de benzi desenate. Posibilităţile sunt limitate doar de imaginatia ta…
6.Copierea Desenului.Pune creioanele departe, aşa că acum, orice modificari ai face in continuare vor fi permanente. Daca nu sunteti in stare sa desenati din prima, faceti o copie de rezerva pe geam sau folositi un xerox şi ajustaţi setarea întuneric, astfel încât liniile de creion sa arate ca în copie.
7.. Folosiţi un stilou sau markerul ca să întuneci liniile trasate cu creionul dumneavoastră. Aceste linii sunt mai mult sau mai puţin permanente, astfel aveti mare grija. Nu va descurajati daca aveti mici greseli caci le puteti rezolva, cand trageti 3d-ul sau volumul la desen.
8.Adauga culoare (Ca să completaţi desenul). Din nou, este o idee bună să te uiţi la exemple înainte de a face acest lucru, dar într-adevăr poţi face orice vrei , cu excepţia copiatului pas cu pas. Un graffiti foarte simplu (o singură lucrare de graffiti), poate avea doar o singură culoare. De asemenea, puteţi face fiecare literă într-o culoare diferită sau puteti face detaliile la litere din degradeu. În timp vei putea sa adaugi culori si efecte ca nebunu, dar nu uita…uneori simplitatea atrage mai multe priviri.
9.Păstraţi practica. În cazul în care graffiti-ul dvs. s-a dovedit perfect, felicitări. Acum treci la cuvinte diferite şi efecte. In curand vei deveni maestru si iti vei crea un stil propiu. Tine minte “nu copia arta celorlalti writteri”!
Names Written In Graffiti

If you’ve seen other people’s names written in graffiti letters and thought it looked pretty cool, you’ll be pleased to know it’s not actually as hard as you might think to actually do it yourself … you just need to learn the techniques and practice!
Read the article below, watch the video and you could be writing your name just like the piture below!
How To Draw Graffiti Names
Graffiti art has, over time, become a form of artistic drawing. In another article, I’ve captured the main characteristics of artistic art in more detail but let’s do a quick review here.
We know that graffiti art is often loud (meaning brightly colored), has a 3D look and feel to it, and looks mostly stylish. One might even classify graffiti art as contemporary art. Everything about graffiti is an expression of the culture of some group or country.
Although graffiti art is most widely known as art drawn by vandals on public walls with spray cans, the same term can be extended to represent art with similar characteristics as mentioned above.
You may be drawn to drawing graffiti names because graffiti art looks stylish with its bright attractive colors, and that applies to graffiti texts as well.
To start drawing graffiti names, you need to prepare the following drawing tools. You need a light pencil, preferrably HB, and a set of permanent magic markers with a variety of colors.
Next, you need to decide on the style of the texts. There are literally thousands of styles to choose from. Just take a look at the thousands of font types available freely on the Internet for download. You may want to visit one of these websites and choose a font design that you really like. You’ll be using this as your reference. Some websites even allow you to create a preview image with the selected font type. Simply save the image to your computer for reference.
Start drawing with your pencil on the surface. Draw lightly at first so that you can erase any mistakes you make. Sometimes, your texts may be too big or small, and you can easily rectify this by using a dust free eraser.
Once you’re satisfied with how the graffiti name looks, trace the outline with a fine magic marker. The shapes will start to emerge now. Then start filling in the different letters with colors. Be bold and creative here. After all, it’s graffiti texts, so you want it to come out attractive, bold and stylish.
Use a different color to create some shades just inside the outlines. This will create the illusion that the texts are 3D. If you’re familiar to using Photoshop or any image editing software, this is similar to creating the emboss effect.
Drawing the drop shadow is optional but if you want your graffiti name to look more alive and realistic, by all means give your graffiti name a light shadow below.

How to draw: Graffiti Outlines Sketches
On January - 23 - 2010 | Vizualizari: 2132 1 COMMENT
All graffiti sketches start with an outline, usually drawn in charcoal or pencil. Often the artist will draw the sketch on paper first, and then transfer it to a larger canvas such as a wall. A grid is usually used to transfer the sketch to the wall to ensure proportions are maintained.
Once drawn, the outline will be coloured in with aerosol spray paints and outlines will be given shading to give a 3D effect. To learn more about graffiti sketches, tags and labels etc read the article below …
Graffiti Sketches, Tags, Pieces & Labels explained
By Neil Campbell
Graffiti sketches is where most newcomers begin but really you should start by asking yourself – graffiti – what does it really mean to you? Most people see it as something that emerged only in modern society, scribbled by urban youth on railway bridges. However, its use can be traced back to ancient civilisations, such as the ancient Egyptians whose hieroglyphics could be considered a form of what we know today as graffiti. One can even say that graffiti or writing, as it is more commonly known, dates back to the origins of mankind itself, when Neanderthal man’s sense of his environment was expressed through cave drawings.
More often than not graffiti has been characterised as vandalism due to its associations with the spray-painted drawings you often see plastered over buildings and walls in cities.
Graffiti art can be categorised in three common forms: Tags, Pieces and Labels. All of us have walked down a street and seen various walls covered with graffiti, but can we differentiate one item of graffiti from another? The most common and the easiest to recognise is a tag.
A tag is usually a simple one-coloured design (though it can be more complex). Put simply, it is a depiction of a writer or artist’s nickname or message, and its aim is to send a message to other writers.
A piece or masterpiece is a more complex form of graffiti art where a writer usually starts with some kind of pre-conceived plan or sketch. A piece tends to take graffiti art more in the direction of character art, which has a big fanbase. People will often be able to distinguish a writer’s work by their character designs alone. Artists like D*Face, Insa, Sickboy and Inkie can all be recognised by the characters or symbols in their pieces.
A label is when a writer’s tag or character design is printed on posters or stickers. Labels can be found in most cities around the world. This can be a great way for all kinds of artists to promote their art far and wide; usually tags are quite hard to see and they are only going to draw the attention of people interested in street art. You often see labels plastered on the back of street signs, lampposts, and anywhere with a smooth surface that can have something stuck to it.
Although graffiti art seems to have been part of the mainstream for ages, it was not until the 1970s that graffiti reinvented itself with a more modern term named writing, which first took root in the United States and later spread across the water to Europe.
The last decade has seen writing really take hold of the global art scene with celebrities emerging from the hub of graff artists around the world. It is only now that you hear about graffiti events like Secret Wars and people like American actress Angelina Jolie forking out £100,000 for an original piece by the notorious Bristol-born artist Banksy. Also, a new record was recently set when a piece went for a massive £280,000.
Graffiti art is the new cool, with hundreds of companies in the last few years jumping on the street art bandwagon. Graffiti is no longer just a shunned art form, yet it still manages to stay true to its origins by remaining accessible to the younger generation. Graffiti it seems is here to stay.
