Graffiti Lettering 101: Sketching Your First Piece

In this class, I'll show you how in a few simple steps you can create your first Graffiti styled piece.

This class is for everyone who wants to create something new or simply explore traditional Graffiti techniques. 

Those who already have some experience in it should also find some insights into using a different style or just firming up their basics to improve their current works.

• First I'll walk you through some basic tips and techniques for you to start working on your letters one by one.

 Like how to deconstruct letters to their basic form and manipulate them to make them look even more interesting.

• Then how to gradually add elements that help join those letters together into one good looking piece that you would be proud to share with anyone.
• As a bonus, I'll show you a few common graffiti background elements that you can draw inspiration from and make your lettering POP-OUT even more.

I’ll be using the Procreate® app on my iPad for this class to better illustrate all of the elements that can go into building your letters but feel free to use anything that is most comfortable for you to draw on.
