  1. Start with a sketch: Before you start spraying paint on walls or canvases, it’s a good idea to start with a sketch. This will help you plan out your design and get a sense of the composition and color scheme you want to use. All you need is a pencil and paper to get started.
  2. Experiment with different surfaces: Graffiti can be sprayed on a variety of surfaces, including walls, canvases, cardboard, and more. Experimenting with different surfaces can help you find the one that works best for you and your style.
  3. Use stencils to create precise shapes and lines: Stencils can be a great tool for creating precise shapes and lines in your graffiti. You can purchase pre-made stencils or create your own using materials like cardboard or plastic.
  4. Play around with different spray paint brands and types: Not all spray paint is created equal, and different brands and types of paint can produce very different results. Experiment with different brands and types of paint to find the ones that work best for you.
