Learn to Draw a Graffiti Master-piece: Your Essential Guide to Tags, Bubble Letters, Wildstyle, Layout and Piecing

This is an actual how-to book on forming the letters for tags, bubble letters, wildstyle, and forming words.The Graffiti Diplomacy crew has done a thorough job on giving the basics for three letter styles. They also offer advice on gathering practice materials which won't drain your wallet. If you decide to get this book, follow the authors' advice and read through ALL of it before beginning to draw.If you are looking for graffiti "theory" (oh yeah, it's a thing), you will not find it here. There are other books and videos which offer the history and reasons behind the art. Some aspects of design theory are offered, which is good, as one of the strict rules of an art which eschews rules is balance and symmetry.My advice as a person coming from cartooning to graffiti is to get an inexpensive composition book, wide-ruled, preferably made in Vietnam (paper quality is better). The lined paper will greatly help in keeping the letters even. The authors recommend cheap copy paper, but a comp book will not only give you guidelines, but give you a record of your progress.As good as this book is, if you think you can go be a "writer" immediately after reading it, think again. Graffiti letter creation is drawing. Drawing is a skill; it CAN be learned. BUT, you have to practice, practice, practice. The authors do say this, but it cannot hurt to drive it home: this art takes a LOT of practice. Don't show balance, symmetry and good craftsmanship, and you will always be a hapless "toy".
