How To Graffiti: 3D Techniques

|

In this lesson of learning how to graffiti, I will be going over a variety of different ways to look at adding your own 3D elements to your graffiti tag. This is one simple way to add a sick amount of depth to a piece. 3D does not have to be complicated, though there is always room for a higher detail. I guarantee you that after reading this, you will have broadened your views on the possibilities you have with 3D graffiti tags, and will be able to implement 3D skills easily into your tags and sketches.

There are 3 main “styles” of 3D that most writers add to a piece to make it come alive. Below are the different types, and some good representations of their formats:

Shaded 3D Graffiti Tags

These are perhaps the simplest examples of 3D to add to a piece. I think of this as “shaded,” as it often makes me think that the tag is nothing more than a 2-dimensional object, floating over the surface it was painted on. A light source is creating the shadow, which adds the “3D” element to what would normally be a 2D tag.

As you can see with this tag, it appears as if there was some large light source in the left center of the 2D picture, casting some sort of shadow on the tag wall below.

Directional 3D Graffiti Pieces

These are very common in the US, and are generally more complicated than the shaded 3D graffiti. Still not difficult to do though! The easiest way to describe this type of graffiti is by describing the use of a vanishing point in your sketches.

The vanishing point – when looking at the sketches below, follow the lines of the 3D shading drawn. They all lead to a single point in space. This point that all 3D lines lead to is called the vanishing point.

You can do this.

All you have to do is take your tag, mark a point (say, bottom center of the tag), and extend every edge of your sketch a certain distance towards this point. The lines that do not overlap the outlined sketch already drawn – those are your lines for the directional 3D tag.

You can make this fantastically complicated, too. Try creating a tag that starts out with a thick 3D outline on the right, and gradually reduce the extension of all of your 3D lines as you move leftwards on your sketch. Now, it is 3D, and has a varying thickness. Also, different angle vanishing points can be cool (note: only one vanishing point per sketch – if it does not flow, it looks sloppy). Pretend everything is on a sphere, and the thickness is really changing!

European 3D Graffiti

These pieces are complicated. Honestly, it takes a special eye to master one of these 3D graffiti pieces. The concept of the European 3D graffiti, is to take a piece, and shadow it as if it was a real living thing in this world. Imagine if the piece was alive, and made of “stuff” never before imagined.

These 2 pieces are from the artist, Daim. Fantastic representations of the European 3D graffiti piece. This version of 3D is very common in Europe, and not as much elsewhere in the world (hence, the name European 3D).

With these, it is all about visualizing these as actual “things” in the world, and witnessing all of the shadows that could possibly be created. It takes a lot of practice to learn how to realistically shade, and the best way I would recommend is to start with practicing sketching things you see in everyday life, and making them come alive.

Based on the other 2 forms of 3D graffiti, you have gotten used to 3D images, and this is just the next step. It just requires practice.

So take this lesson, apply it to your sketches, and start creating a new depth to your piece.

40+ Stunning and Creative Graffiti Artworks

|


Most people have the impression that graffiti was started by young vandals trying to “make a statement”, however graffiti has been known to go as far back as 30 000BC. The Ancient Romans and Ancient Greeks, used to scribble on their walls, descriptions of their current day events. Then, in the 1900’s, graffiti in the form of vandalism, started appearing all of the world. With pointless scribbles of “crew” names being tainted all over cities, it’s not surprising that for a long while graffiti had such a negative connotation associated with it.

However, as the years have passed on, a few people have taken graffiti to the next level. Taking it from something that people generally frown at, to something that makes people go WOW! Most people are even going as far as calling graffiti street art. The truth is, that there is a sense of beauty in a lot of the graffiti being created today. Beautiful portraits of people, or abstract art that makes you look twice. A graffiti artist is, essentially, a modern day artist, his choice of canvas is just different, unique and grabs the attention of a myriad of people.

To honour the true graffiti artists, we have found a collection of some of the most stunning, creative graffiti pieces across the world, so join us in being wow-ed over and over again as we unveil our collection.

Graffiti Brazil: Mundano

|


From Brooklyn - Sao Paulo to Brooklyn - New York, Mundano has spread his art all over the place. His graffiti art is full of meanings and colors and can be seen in every corner of one of the largest concrete jungles of the world which is Sao Paulo, check out this great graffiti artist that speaks the truth.

Visit mundano at flickr and contact him at artetude@gmail.com and follow him on twitter http://twitter.com/mundano_sp

Mundano l is an artist that has been coloring the gray walls of Sao Paulo Brazil. This graffiti artist of only 23 years old make interventions that take away the attention in the middle of the chaos of one of the biggest cities in the world.

Using graffiti as a social revolution, his characters are followed by messages sent so the people can see and think about the problems he mentions. The messages are chosen according to the reality of the local spot where the people walk and drive by. His graffitis can be seen in the favelas, big avenues, as well as art galleries. This really shows what a true artist is made of.

"My art express the feeling of every Mundano in the city, whether you not happy with the politics or you want to scream out your mind, that's what my art is made for, to represent the voice of the Mundano."

The word Mundano means Mundo + Humano (the world + the humans) The people of the city that interact with the urban life and it's attached to it's roots.

Graffiti on the streets of Sao Paulo

The city of Sao Paulo has a project called "Clean City" which is not only meant to clean the city it self but the walls full of rich and original Brazilian graffiti art. What happen is they paint over the graffiti pieces with plain gray paint taking away the beauty of colors made by these great artists.

Mundano shows that the city should care more about cleaning criminals, corrupt politicians and the actual trash on the streets instead of the paintings on the wall.

"They erased everything and painted it gray, the only thing left is sadness and fresh paint. Kindness generate kindness" the words of Mundando after painting the same spot for the 13th time.

Carroceiros Projects

I started this because everyone looks different to these guys that work hard pushing a wooden made cars to collect and make money out of recycled trash. Nobody actually realized the work they doing is totally hard and honest and they are the ones that are cleaning the streets.

The work I do on their cars is guarantee to stay, the city can't paint it gray and I can't get in any trouble for it. Each car I do is to send out a message where talking the owner of the car we come up with ideas to speak their mind and show the people what a really true honest worker are.

"My goal is that the 'carroceiros" (people that push these cars recycling papers) get more respect from the society for the hard work they do, I see a lot of guys wearing ties and looking at then like they are from another world, calling them names, and beeping at them to get out of the way. While they recycle trash that they don't even produce."

Peace is Never Enough

I recycle what about you?

My Car Does Not Pollute

If I could I would recycle the politicians

Mundano In Action

"Before I started painting I didn't pay attention to anybody, I didn't interact with the city, I didn't express my feelings."

Spray Paint, Marker, and House Paint on a found piece of wood

"If one person looks at my work and stop to think about what's going on in the city, and think about the message I send, I feel like the job was done."

Mud Stencils Create Environmentally-Conscious Graffiti

DIY graffiti doesn’t have to be ugly– it can be thought-provoking, challenging, and perhaps most importantly, temporary. Jesse Graves, an artist based in Milwaukee Wisconsin, has harnessed mud as an artistic medium to take his green graffiti to the streets, and he encourages others to do the same.

Graves’ graffiti, which includes images of bicycles, bottles of oil, and cows, uses mud stencils to promote messages of social justice. Why mud? According to Graves, “I use mud or earth because it is a fundamental life-giving substance, logical for my messages.

His process is simple — tape a stencil design behind transparent Mylar, cut the picture out with an X-Acto knife, tape the stencil to a surface, dab mud on the stencil with a sponge, and remove both the tape and the Mylar. It’s so simple, in fact, that budding graffiti artists should have no problem going out and plastering their cities with green messages. So what are you waiting for?
