Free online information on how to graffiti:

First up there's eHow.com's step by step graffiti how to which is pretty basic but is very straight forward. A good starting place.

Also take a look at WikiHow.com/Graffiti which has a bunch of tips as well as links to other ideas like bubble lettering, etc.

There are a few other bits and pieces of information scattered around the internet, but if you're serious in your efforts to learn how to graffiti then eventually you'll need to shell out some of your hard-earned cash and buy some books on how to graffiti, or if you're a more visual person like me you might want to try out some of the DVDs available. These are usually pretty cheap and contain more information than most of the books. Keep in mind though that books are better for taking sketches and copying examples.

But it doesn't end there, after you've got yourself set up with some good books you'll need to think about getting supplies. Supplies include canvas, paint respirator (very important), markers, woods and cardboards and of course spraypaint! That's the best thing about having an instructional DVD or book, 9 times out of 10 they'll supply you with a basic list of items that you'll need.
