If you like the clean, square look of graffiti words, you can try writing your name in the same style.Start by sketching letters inside squares or bubble shapes, then add custom colors and a personal style.Here's how to turn your name into beautiful graffiti.
-
Write the name in pencil or chalk. Do it in block letters instead of cursive and use something erasable because you will have to manipulate the letters.Write large, clean letters.This will be the skeleton of the final result.Here are some stylistic elements to keep in mind:- Think about symmetry.Your graffiti must be balanced and visually impactful.[1] Play with the letters so that they fit together well, even if they are not the same size.Mix uppercase and lowercase letters.
- The first and last must balance.For example, let's say you want to write "JOSEPH", play with the "J" and "H" to create a frame around the rest of the other letters.You can add a hook to the second leg of the "h" so that it looks like the one on the "J".
- Many artists write words in an arc instead of a straight line to give the design an edge.
-
Turn letters into blocks or bubbles. Draw around the original letters to create a 2-D sketch of the name.Square letters have straight lines and sharp corners, while bubble letters are more rounded;choose one of the two styles, but not both.Start by thinking of the name as a work of art instead of just a written word.
- Make some hard lines curved.In the "L," for example, you can curl them both instead of leaving them so boringly straight.
- Join the letters like pieces of a puzzle.For example, in the name "KARLOS" you could hook the "A" into the hollow of the "K" and the "O" into the corner of the "L".
-
Connect some letters. Extend the square or bubble where one letter ends to where the other begins and erase the connecting lines.This way you add movement to the design and create the illusion that the letters are one continuous flow.
- You don't necessarily have to connect letters that are next to each other.In the name "SKYLAR" you can create a rectangular block that goes from the second leg of the "K" below the "Y" to connect to the "L".Look at your name and imagine which letters you could most specifically relate to.
- Be guided and don't be blocked by the words you wrote.Don't be afraid to alter the letters.

Add feet, curls, spikes and arrows.[2] Here's how you can experiment and enrich your name.Giving your personal touch will help your work stand out from others.Feet, curls, points and arrows are used to decorate the letters and add balance to the word.
- A foot is a square piece added to the bottom of a straight line.So, if you have an "E" with a curve at the bottom, create a link at the end of the line with a vertical sticking out.
- A curl is like a foot, but protrudes from a top line.In an "E" is added to the end of the topmost line.
- Tips are small squares that punctuate the end of a line.You can add them to each letter.
- Arrows also get longer after a letter.In a "T", for example, it might extend to the end of each top line.
-
Creates a 3-D effect. Shade the letters, then refine them to make three-dimensional sense.You can also create a rough effect by thickening and thinning the lines in different positions.For example, the top and sides of an "O" become very thick, while the bottom and other side are very thin.
-
Include original elements. Once the letters are as you wanted, add details of your choice.Customize them to your style and interests.Add a lightning bolt for the dot on the "i" or create eyes in the holes of the "B".The only limit is your imagination.Advertising
-
Darken the lines. Using paint or a marker, darken the lines drawn in pencil or chalk.Make them big, thick.It's graffiti so it doesn't have to look clean and pretty;the lines must be expressive.When you're done, erase any pencil or chalk marks still visible.
-
Add color. Fill all the letters with one color or experiment with different shades.Graffiti artists usually work in secret for fear of being discovered, so they carry around one or two spray colors at a time - many great graffiti artists are monochrome.If you want to try more than one, think about these options:
- You can make each letter a different color or just the details.
- Try an 'ombre' style with colors that gradually fade from one to the next.To create the look of a sunset, mark the tops of the letters in red, then move from orange to yellow at the bottom.
- For a bold 3-D effect, color the feathered edges a shade darker than the letters.
-
Make it stand out against the background. Now that the name is complete, make it stand out by coloring the background a different color.If the name is dark, color the background brightly;if he is pale, the opposite.Your graffiti is a work of art and people will certainly stop to admire it.Advertising
Advice
- A saying related to practicing graffiti goes:"If you want it to come out well, do a piece every day.If you want it to be perfect, make it five."It seems like a lot if taken literally, but the point is that the more you practice, the better you will become.
- Try not to mix bubbles and squares.
- Add as many decorations as you want, making sure the graffiti isn't too full to the point that it doesn't catch the eye of the viewer.
- Look for the writing in the comic books, especially onomatopoeic ones like “Ka-Pow” and “Boom.”Many graffiti artists cite comics as a primary source of their influences.
