What is 3D graffiti?
3D graffiti is a genre that is characterized by a lack of solid outlines and gentle use of black and white. As with many forms of graffiti, this method is highly technical and requires a high level of skills and detailed knowledge of the use of light, angles, shadows and depth. Although many graffiti can be considered 3D, this particular form results in a highly realistic depth that seems to be tangible.
As with other forms of graffiti, a basic sketch is originally laid on the wall. The writer graffiti then decides on the incoming light source on which angles, shadows and depth of the rest of the piece will be established. Usually two light sources are incorporated into 3D graffiti - one primary, main and secondary or reflective light. These two light sources often come from the contradictory sides.The light source and darker shades. The filling usually consists of three tones of the same color: a higher, lighter tone, medium tone and a lower darker tone. The use of these tones gives depth and helps to cause color transition toby medium light and shadow.
More muted colors are used in 3D graffiti because it creates a more realistic look. The brighter color, as well as the significant use of black and white, tend to make the piece to appear flat and cartoon. Artists apply the surface details to 3D pieces to create textures and outlines. This is often achieved by using high -contrast colors.
The background of the 3D graffiti piece is often created using darker tones of color in the outer corners and then brings a lighter tone towards the center. This technique helps the piece to look three -dimensional when it pushes the image visually forward and outside the wall. Drop Shadows, consisting of darker areas painted under the elements of the piece, gives depth and make it seem that the image seems to be standing.
other techniques can also help the piece look three -dimensional, including fogging. Fogging gives the appearance of one element of a piece existing after another.Another is to include shadows in the elements of the work, emphasize depth, transition and texture.
One of the most important aspects of successful 3D graffiti is accuracy - this makes this piece more realistic. Therefore, cleaning and sharpness of lines are necessary. The last step is to emphasize the lights and darkness in the work to look sharper. This is where the previously thin use of white is used, because the white peaks have a much more significant effect in associating elements and excel in the last piece.
