Breaking the Wall Graffiti Piece - Free Course

Watch our video while reading these points to make sure you follow along!

- Make a sketch to mark how big this wall breaking background should be. First lines are critical, since you can’t change as easy as when you are painting on a primed wall. If you are painting on a brick wall, use the bricks as guidelines, so your lines will be straight.

- Add shadows to the cracks. It will often look best if you make the shadows follow a vanishing point in the middle of the wallbreak.

- Sketch your piece in front of it. Make it overlap some parts of the cracks, so to enhance the effect of it breaking through the wall.

- Cut your outer edges of the cracks with the same color as the original wall (in this case white) and fill-in the background.

- Paint your piece.

- Add extra flying bricks to achieve a more 3-Dimensional look. Make the bricks vary in size and in perspective. Some of them can even be broken pieces instead of whole bricks.

- Add cast shadows inside the wall breaks to add more depth to the piece
