How to draw graffiti letter U step-by-step
The following slideshow will show you how to design a semi-wildstyle “U” graffiti letter step-by-step.
Key Area of the letter U & the concept of "key areas"
There are lines and and areas inside of a letter shape which are crucial for recognizing the letter. These areas are so called "key areas".

The key areas of the letter "U" are shown in the image to the left.
