The Ultimate Graffiti Course with D.E.L.M.

Explore outline dynamics in graffiti, from traditional a/b/c outlines to displaced and joined variations with drop shadows and 3d effects, using slightly lighter colors to enhance contrast.

Practice outline fundamentals through freehand shapes and wild style, responding to wall textures without sketches. Build consistent line thickness, 3D shadows, and balanced density for dynamic graffiti outlines.

Develop your graffiti style by starting with a shape and evolving it with lines and kicks. Extend the same approach to letters to create a unique, personal style.

Master advanced spray can control by creating hard and soft lines, practicing close, fast strokes, and shaping lines with multiple directions, including circles, front, curves, and whips.

practice outlines in chocolate with black outline, combining straight lines, hard-soft lines, and fades, while using opposite hands to build two-handed control and relaxed technique.

Explore graffiti terminology and vocabulary, noting there is no standardized vocabulary or clear definitions, and discuss style wars, subway art, politics, and technique, emphasizing execution over talk.

Explore creating mini graffiti pieces to test color combinations, shapes, and placements, including backwards letters and varied outlines, while considering proportion, environment, and framing.

Explains balancing wall art by placing letters at the far left and right, using a white background with Miss Piggy pink, and building solid color shapes with 3d shading.

Explore progressive color scale theory from black to white and full color spectrums, and learn practical mixing, pressurizing, and shading techniques to create subtle gradations in graffiti.

Explore color scale theory for graffiti shading by selecting shadows two to three steps down from darker fills, considering spectrum relationships and avoiding hues that are too close.

Explore superimposing techniques by layering shapes over letters, tracing the line of the original letter, displacing edges, and building 3d depth to create multi dimensional graffiti forms.

Explore grayscale wall pieces built from layered gradients and fades, mixing white into black, using sketchups with drop shadows and multiple layers across walls in a collaborative process.

Explore creating a bright, playful tribute graffiti for Siddha, using horizon placement, bold fill colors, selective outlines, and 3d shadow with accents like love hearts.

Master the three-step colour placement theory to craft graffiti with a reduced palette—outline, background, and fill—using black and white for the outline, cherry background, and green fill, with layered shadows.

Explore multidimensional line development by growing lines from endpoints, varying direction, length, and curvature, and layering shadows to evolve a dynamic graffiti style.

Learn common graffiti terminology like cap, to cap someone, bad boy graffiti, panel, aura or key line, and rack, and explore how language shapes personal growth and finding your voice.

Master transparent black, or black techie, to craft layered shadows with displacement and depth. Experiment with multiple shades, shadow distance, and shadow integrity to push graffiti techniques.

Hold back the spray at varying distances to create texture, shadows, and dusty, smoky, starry layers; use skinny, medium, and fat caps for lines and large-surface texture.

Master clean outlines by adjusting spray can angle and distance to follow outside and inside edges, balance edge directions, achieve hard and soft lines, and keep consistent line thickness.

Explore dynamic spray can techniques to create depth and texture through fast to slow applications, blending and fades using fat and skinny caps, drip control, and progressive layered shadows.

Embrace a no-rules scrap piece built on layers, alternating fat cap blacks, yellows, and pinks with hold-back techniques to create a fast, multidimensional graffiti piece.

Practice applying rhythm through patterns and layers to graffiti letters, creating distinct effects like bubbles or dots, hairy texture, or wavy lines across multiple pieces.

Design rhythm in the underlying graffiti structure and fit the letters into it, using lines, waves, or 3D elements. Experiment with reversing the process to develop a personal style.

Explore a sketchbook tour of graffiti lettering ideas, from outline practice to 3D and varied angles. Learn how page placement and tracing practice shape expressive wall art letters.

Explore local graffiti through hands-on analysis of techniques, color placement, and structure, comparing styles across the local scene to deepen appreciation and artistry.

Demonstrate split brain techniques by painting two pieces with opposite eye and nostril isolation across timed intervals, revealing how hemispheric isolation unlocks creativity and new approaches.

Learn how to convert someone else's sketch into a layered graffiti piece. Plan color schemes, manage overlaps and shadows, and adapt techniques from sketch to wall.

Take on the sketch-to-drawing assignment by selecting easy, medium, or multidimensional intergalactic spastic, psycho crazy styles, apply color placement theory with your own color scheme, and post on Instagram.
