They might be dead straight, or bowed, or ribbon like. They might have rounded edges, or be angular for example. However you can play with how these bars are formed. At this stage you should be careful to keep each bar at a standardised width. Playing with how these bars over lap and intersect will give you the basics of stylising the structure. Each stroke that you use can be formed as a bar that you will use to structure the letter. Looking at fonts or the way you would write letters in capitals is a good place to start to break down the structure of a simple letter form. This is the exact same way you would go to mark up on a wall as well - rough sketch first, then final sketch second. That way you can see how I have formed the letter through the sketch, then finalised the letter with a pen. I will sketch in ball point pen, then outline with a permanent marker. With that preamble, I'm going to show you the basics of letter formation structure, thickness, and proportion. That is what we are going to work on here. Everyone wants to get super stylish straight out the gate! Just remember that good style is underpinned by strong letter structure. Just about the hardest thing to do when you are first learning how to form letters is to keep it simple. A lot of wildstyle writers never master these kinds of simple letters and while may be able to produce a nice over all aesthetic you only need to break down the piece letter by letter to see its weakness. Until you get how to make strong letters, it doesn't matter how much style you dump on top of it, it will always be a weak piece. Moreover, if you wish to develop a more complex, wilder, style you still need to understand these strong simple letter as a foundation. If you can master this style, you will have a classic graffiti style that will never look dated. What has stood the test of time is strong simple and funky letters. Sometimes really simple, even naive, letters are in, other times super wildstyle and crazy decorative letters are in. As someone who has been around a while and extensively studied graffiti styles from before my time, I can say that graffiti styles come and go. This is not necessarily the style that I paint in, but is a style that any writer worth their salt should at lest understand, if not be able to paint well. What I plan to teach with these sessions is a simple, classic, New York style of graffiti. We also host casual battles to give everyone a challenge and more.
