So You Wanna Draw Like a Subway Surfer? A Totally Not-Serious Guide to the Subway Surfers Logo
Let's face it, the Subway Surfers logo is iconic. It's got that cool, graffiti-esque vibe that screams "rebellion" (though maybe not the kind that gets you grounded). But fear not, aspiring subway doodler (minus the actual subway doodling, of course, respect the property!), because this guide will turn you into a logo-drawing legend... well, at least in your own eyes.
Step 1: Channel Your Inner Subway Surfer (Without the Running from the Inspector Part)
Think about Jake, Tricky, or Fresh - whoever your favorite surfer is. Now imagine them spray-painting the logo with mad skills and a complete disregard for traffic laws. This is the energy you need to harness.
Pro-tip: Blast some upbeat music. Air guitar (or air spray can) is highly encouraged.
Step 2: Grab Your Tools (The Less Messy, the Better)
- Paper: Printer paper is fine, but if you're feeling fancy, grab some sketchbook paper. Bonus points for ripping a page out of a notebook and pretending you're a real graffiti artist on the run (don't actually do that).
- Pencil: Because everyone makes mistakes, even the coolest subway surfers (though they'd never admit it).
- Pen (Optional): If you're feeling confident, a bold black pen can add some serious definition.
- Markers, Colored Pencils, Crayons (or Lipstick in a Pinch): Unleash your inner color bomb! Just remember, brighter is always better (because who knew outrunning an inspector could be so stressful?).
Step 3: Let's Get Sketchy (But Not Too Sketchy)
Here comes the not-so-serious part. There are no hard and fast rules here. This is your chance to create a logo that's as unique as your subway surfing skills (or lack thereof).
- The Letters: Think blocky, bold, and with a bit of an attitude. Imagine the letters are doing a sick grind on a subway rail. Let them tilt, overlap, and generally defy the laws of straight lines.
- Don't Forget the Drips: Every good graffiti artist knows that drips are essential. They add character, a sense of movement, and maybe a hint of "I did this in five minutes, tops."
Remember: This is supposed to be fun! Don't get bogged down in perfection. Embrace the wobbly lines and the slightly off-center letters.
Step 4: Color Me Bold (Literally)
Now comes the part where you unleash your inner rainbow. Think neon greens, electric blues, and enough hot pink to make a flamingo jealous.
Coloring Tip: Don't be afraid to layer your colors! Just like a graffiti masterpiece (or a toddler's finger painting), multiple layers add depth and vibrancy.
Step 5: The Finishing Touches (Because Even Subway Surfers Need a Little Polish)
- Outline: Grab your pen (or a darker shade of your main color) and outline those funky letters.
- Sparkle Time: Remember that spray paint shimmer effect? Add some sparkle with a silver or white gel pen.
And Voila! You've just created your very own (totally awesome) rendition of the Subway Surfers logo. High five yourself (air high five if you're still channeling your inner surfer). Now go forth and impress your friends with your newfound artistic skills (or at least make them laugh).
