I have tried doing light graffiti. I sort of managed a basic "love heart" plus a pretty lousy spider and other very basic shapes, but the exercise gave me full appreciation just how tricky this is to do.
I have NO idea how something as complex as this would be possible the "normal" way.
What is the trick here? Is it actually possible do this the basic way - by holding a light source in your hand(s)? |

Build a wire structure, put on all black, choose a dark night.
Then, use a flashlight to trace it, with the lens between the wire and the lens.
Finally, you can use other lights as needed for mood lighting.

I think these are hand drawn.
For that, the answer is the same as that which was given to the man who asked "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" |

You could be onto something.
I feel that if it IS a wire structure, it isn't a detailed one.
However, it was a very VERY basic outline - like just one line for the head/spine/tail, then four sticks for legs, then there would be a guide to help keep it all together, yet still be mostly free-hand. |
