Hi, my name is Tres Hoyt. I'm here at Asel Art Supply in Austin, Texas. I'm going to
talk today about Graffiti lettering. Graffiti lettering is a pretty broad topic. There are
probably, literally hundreds of different styles of Graffiti hand style. You go around
the world and it will change. You can go around the country and it will change. But I have
here, three examples of three different basic alphabets. And these are really, really basic
form alphabet letters. So I'm going to go ahead and do this third one for you all. So
you can see the strokes that I make. One of the easiest ways to hand style, is to just
practice. You can find different fonts and copy them. Or you can take your basic, basic
alphabet. And just start tweaking the letters as you see fit to little positions that you
like. I like to work on graph paper. So I try to keep most of my letters in a consistent
size. And I don't start drifting at angles when I write. But you can use either a brush
type pen for flared effects. Or just regular graphic pens or pretty much any kind of marker
you want. But here we go, I'm just going to go ahead and start with the bottom alphabet
here. And show you all the stroke making.
And just like that. The easiest way, like I said to learn a lot of these alphabets.
Is just practice, practice, practice many of these. Get your flared style and all that.
But, yeah, that's essentially that's Graffiti lettering right there.
