How do you write King in bubble letters?

  1. Start with the K. K is the hardest letter in KING. Draw a fat stem, then an arm and a leg that meet in one rounded blob. In Old English, the K has a curved stem and a pointed arm.
  2. Give the I full height. The I is the narrowest letter. Make it a fat capsule with rounded caps, the same height as K and N.
  3. Thicken the N. Keep the N's diagonal as thick as its sides. In bubble letters, round its two sharp corners.
  4. Close the G. Draw the G like an open C with a short bar going in. The bar keeps it from looking like a C or an O.
  5. Add the crown. Put a crown over the K, tilted a little. Three or five points on a band is enough. It should be about half the letter height.

Colors and decorations for King

King in graffiti letters

The graffiti image uses Old English letters: gothic blackletter with sharp points and thick and thin strokes, used in chicano lettering and tattoo-style designs. Old English KING looks strong because K and G have big curved shapes. Draw it with a chisel-tip marker at a fixed angle. The Old English letters guide shows each letter.

Questions people ask

How do you draw a crown on KING in graffiti?

Draw a band, then three or five points on top, each ending in a small ball. Tilt the crown a little and put it on the K or the I. Keep it about half as tall as the letters. In graffiti, crowns often sit slightly off-center, so do not worry about making it straight.

Why do graffiti writers draw crowns?

In graffiti, a "king" is a writer who is top in a style or on a line, and the crown became a sign of that. A crown over a name or word is now a common decoration even outside graffiti. On paper or in a blackbook, it is a quick way to make a word look finished.

Should I write KING in bubble letters or Old English?

Bubble letters look fun and bold and are easier for beginners. Old English looks serious and classic, and needs a chisel-tip marker and some practice. Try both: bubble letters for a card or a kid's room, Old English for a poster, a shirt design or a blackbook page.
