How to Draw the Harlem Shake, Harlem Shake

So since the lesson on Swag got so many likes and comments, I thought I would make another graffiti style tutorial on "how to draw the Harlem Shake", step by step. The Harlem Shake is a dance that has been getting a lot of attention. So much attention in fact, it's been viral on Youtube for a while. I'm not a big graffiti artist which means my lettering skills are not on point. Even though, I still think you will enjoy drawing the Harlem Shake regardless. You can tweak this version of the dance description letters if you like. I will be back with more drawing fun. Adios people!

STEP 1.

The first thing you will need to do is draw out the handwritten letters that spell "harlem shake".

STEP 2.

Start one letter at a time. I chose to go with the city style of graffiti which is a block looking style. The letters should come out looking messy but in a block manner.
