Write Graffiti on Walls

First, you need to learn to sketch graffiti on paper, before you attempt to write on walls. In this manual, here are the basic steps of writing graffiti on walls.

Steps

1. Find a graffiti spot. Most writers prefer legal graffiti and drawing on walls made for graffiti. You can have as much time as you want there!
2. Sketch a graffiti, which you want to draw on a wall, on paper.
3. Go to a local graffiti store and buy yourself some paint cans (Montana works best). Also buy yourself a variety of caps, they will be needed! (If you don't have a graffiti store around your city, then check out some online stores.)
4. Take the paint, with which you're going to fill in your letters.
5. Put on a skinny cap and draw a rough outline of your letters.
6. Put on a fat cap and fill the letters in good! Don't leave any blank spots.
7. Now, take the color, with which you want to outline your letters. (Most of the time it's black)
8. Outline the letters with whatever color suits your piece
9. Make whatever decorations you want to. (ex. background, splashes etc.)
10. Get out of there! Cops are always looking, especially in big cities.

Tips

• You shouldn't go out by yourself. Take a friend or a couple with you, so they look out for police.
• Look out for drips! Don't hold your can in one spot for a long time.
• Change your caps from time to time! They clog up quite fast.
• When filling in, go in a zig-zag formation, preventing drips.
• You shouldn't draw graffiti in public places, your bedroom wall would be good. It is illegal to write graffiti on other people's property, unless it is specifically permitted, as in some skate parks.

Warnings

• Look out for cops!
• Be sure to use a respirator! The fumes are very harmful for your respiratory tract. A scarf or something like that will not do! If you doubt this, Philly writer Upski has a horrific article called "Wear Your Mask". This stuff can kill you over a long period of time if you don't wear a mask.
• Also, be sure to use latex gloves. Remember, latex gloves will not protect you from fingerprints.

Things You'll Need

• Montana paint cans
• Respirator (optional)
• Latex gloves (optional)
