Can you give me some tips on how to draw graffiti (anything really)? I am good with drawing something but the thing is I have to look a picture to draw it. Its almost as if I don't have enough imagination. But since that's how I've been drawing, tips please?

Perhaps one way to develop your imagination is to draw a scene from a poem or story.

Try this one.

The Road Not Taken
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
So you photograph in your mind then copy? I have know folks who did that.

Start with things you know really well, and have an image in your mind.

A pencil

A cup.

an apple.

your hair (leave the face alone, blank for now).

Once you convince yourself you can draw from memory, and it takes time, start on harder thngs...take some time to make an image in our mind...you may have to examine it for several minutes. Practice on things around the house...a shoe...a window...something with detail such as a tire tread on the car.

We learn new things by practicing what we know.
