first lines (graffiti)

First lines, in the context of graffiti, refer to the initial sketch or outline of a graffito. This preliminary stage of the graffiti creation process serves as a foundational guide for the graffitist, providing a blueprint for the overall composition and design of the piece. The process of creating first lines involves sketching the basic shapes and forms of the graffiti, often with a focus on the lettering. These lines are typically drawn lightly and may be rough or sketchy in nature. They serve as a guide for the subsequent stages of the graffiti creation process, including the application of fill ins and the final outline. It's important to note that first lines are typically covered or obscured in the final graffito, as they are primarily used for composition and design purposes rather than as a visible element of the final piece. Despite their transient nature, first lines play a crucial role in the graffiti creation process, helping the graffitist to plan their work and achieve a balanced and cohesive design.
