How to Draw Urban Art
Urban art is also commonly referred to as graffiti, and is banned in many areas, since it is considered defacing public property. Whether you plan to draw this art on your own property or wish to simply make a piece of art of your own, consider certain aspects to make this project easier to accomplish.
Things You Will Need:
- Charcoal
- Spray paint
- Familiarize yourself with existing work. In order to be able to use your creativity for this project, you must be familiar with the traditional and existing sources of art. Although you do not need to live in an area that has a great deal of this type of art, you can research this information on the Internet and use it as inspiration to make your own creations.
- Take notes about the specific areas of the art that stands out to you when you are researching. This allows you to maintain the element of urban art while putting your own spin on your individual artwork.
- Use charcoal to draw your urban art on your paper or easel. If you are able to use a large canvas for the ultimate realistic effect, use spray paint. Be detailed when drawing this piece of art, and make sure that you add a person aspect to the artwork that will set your pieces apart from any other artist that attempts to draw urban art. For instance, even a small signature at the bottom corner of the artwork in script will add your personal note of recognition to the piece.
