Starting graffiti?

Question

I have taken a deep interest in graffiti or "writing"

and yes im young (14 years old) but im not another ignorant kid who goes around scribbling on random parts of public property- Im not into "tagging" I want to learn the proper art of graffiti

my problem is like many others...where to start?

I have thought of a tag ("METHOD") which i am fond of. I have been trying to look around for movies and books on graffiti history/styles/ art. But ive only been able to find the legendary documentary: "STYLE WARS"

But im guessing looking online for lessons isn't the best way to go- but it seems i dont have a choice. I doubt i will ever find a mentor where i live (Campie, Sydney- Australia) so i just dont know how to start writing...

Answers and any bits of advice is deeply appreciated XD

oh and if your just going to talk about how im defacing public property i do not mean to be rude but please- save it...i have explained that i dont want 2 be another random scribbler....

anyway thank you!

Answer 2

Theres a program you can download called Graffiti Studio 2.0 which is really good for practising.

I was kinda looking around the internet today cos i really like drawing and am interested in graffing.

Just go on google and search 'Graffiti Studio 2.0' for the program. And search something like 'how to graffiti' lol. There will be heaps of tutorials and stuff.
