Graffiti is generally associated with tasteless vandalism, but behind the stereotypical image lies an art form that has been appreciated since antiquity. "Graffiti" is an Italian word that was derived from the Greek graphein meaning "to write" and was first applied in Roman times when people wrote on walls.

Today the term is loosely used but generally refers to artistic writing or drawing. Many illegally "tag", a form of graffiti where you leave your mark, but this art can be appreciated without vandalizing or violating the law.

Distinctive styles have evolved over the years and made their way from paper to wall all over the world. As with any art, there is no "right way" to draw and you need to develop your own style through personal taste and practice.
