The other day I finally did what I had been planning for a long time: I drew a picture with lettering and doodles on the wall of my Moscow apartment, which we were preparing for rent. This was my second experience of drawing on a wall - for the first time I tried to do it in Thailand, and although I was not very happy with the results, I realized that I like drawing on walls :) I decided to summarize the information in a post - in case you, too, decide to draw on the walls and Will you have the same questions and problems as me?
HOW TO PREPARE A WALL
Before you draw anything on the wall, you need to make sure that the wall:
a) flat
b) painted
If you have a wall with wallpaper, you need to tear it off, level the wall, prime it and paint it. If it’s already painted, you can paint right away if point “a” is followed. And yes, when talking about evenness, I mean not so much horizontal and vertical deviations (the drawing will really help to hide this and it’s not so critical), but smoothness. If your fingers and tights don't cling to the wall, that's ok :) If the wall is lumpy, then in theory you can still draw, but get ready that it will be difficult, you'll spend more ink, and the result won't be as wow-worthy as you'd like. Well, yes - most likely, you will spend more time on the drawing than if you did do the alignment.
I’m telling you from my own experience: the wall I painted on in Thailand had a “crap with pebbles and sand” texture. You know, this kind of thing can be found in Russian entrances, often painted green. I didn’t begin to correct it, because redoing it scared me more at that moment, and I thought that it would do just fine, but then I regretted it very much and for a long time: it was impossible to draw a straight line.
The wall in Moscow was delivered by the developer painted white, so you could take a black marker and start drawing. But I wanted a black background (because simple ways are not for me), so before painting, I painted the wall black. I chose paint with the effect slate board from Siberia, because at that time I had not yet finally decided what I would use to draw on the wall and was considering ordinary chalk. I applied the paint myself with a roller and brush at the joints with the walls and ceiling (covering them masking tape), nothing complicated.
On the advice of Siberia representatives, they did not cover the wall with anything additional before application. After the first layer, the wall didn’t look very good - there were a lot of bald spots, but after the second everything evened out, the wall became pleasantly black, and, what I liked, slightly rough and completely matte. I tried to paint on the wall with chalk - the sensations are a little strange, it seems that the chalk is not perfectly washed off from the paint, but, alas, I have nothing to compare with yet, so this is a review about how this paint works specifically under chalk board I can’t formulate it yet. For my purposes, the paint suited me 100%.
WHAT TO DRAW: MY CHOICE OF MATERIALS
If nothing comes into contact with the wall, you can paint it with anything: even with a pen, even with CD markers - the main thing is that you are comfortable working with the tool and the line thickness/color suits you. But if someone or something touches the wall, everything is more complicated, especially if the goal is for the drawing not to be erased (if it was erased, a combination of chalk and slate paint will save you :)).
In my case, the matter was complicated by the fact that I planned to apply the drawing to kitchen apron, which is supposed to be washed at least sometimes. I can already see you clutching your head and shouting: “How can I scrub off the fat?!” But first things first.
I considered the following options:
The option with glass didn’t really appeal to me, because it’s an extra expense, and not a small one, and I don’t really like the way glass looks on part of the wall, and doing it on the whole wall is a little crazy. Therefore, the idea with chalk was quickly crossed out and I went looking for indestructible paint.
Here I planned to do a big review of a variety of markers and materials, but the truth is that when I went looking for something that was convenient to draw and difficult to erase, I came across only one brand everywhere: Molotow. They make markers with very powerful ink that won't wash off easily. And, alas, no one paid me for this publication (comrades from Molotov, I will not refuse free markers, if that happens;)).
Molotov has several types of markers, I was interested in acrylic ones - they are erased only until they dry, then they can’t be washed off with ordinary water, only with a solvent (at least I couldn’t wash them off, but I rubbed a lot). Acrylic markers are different sizes and have different tips, detailed review I'll definitely do it somehow I'll write on Instagram . I liked the 4mm round tip the most, I would prefer larger size, but I couldn’t find any more round ones, and I don’t like the beveled ones. The markers are refillable, which means that when the ink runs out, you can add more. The tips can also be changed (they are erased), but you need to know which tips will fit which marker.
As a slightly cheaper alternative, I considered buying regular white acrylic paint and painting with a brush - the effect is almost the same, but in terms of convenience it is much inferior, plus I wanted to get a line of equal thickness.
The bottom line is this: I am very pleased with the chosen tool - easy to use, economical consumption, the line turns out dense and bright, and yes, the drawing does not wash off! I rubbed furiously at one area for several minutes, the line didn't go away. And for those who are worried that greasy drops will remain, let me tell you that there are very cool and cheap grates for frying pans that save you from splashing, plus our working surface turned out to be 10 cm deeper than the standard and, accordingly, the stove does not stand closely. Well, if the tenants stain the wall so much that it cannot be washed, I won’t be too upset - I’ll paint it over it and apply a new design;)
WHAT TO DRAW
For a long time I was tormented by the question of what to draw. On the one hand, I wanted to do a lot of lettering, on the other hand, I wanted to do a lot of different lettering, on the third, doodles have firmly entered my life and it’s a pity to leave them behind. Also, the apartment was being built for rent, and the drawing was in the kitchen; I wanted the final picture to be quite neutral, but at the same time appropriate.
At some point, I decided that I needed to put my self-expression at the forefront, that is, draw in the style in which I would like to draw to order. This means that these are doodles + lettering. But I added a little challenge to myself: I decided that my objects would not be located separately and on their own, as almost always happens in my drawings, but would stick out a little from each other, overlap and flow.
I decided that I would have equal rights between lettering and doodles, that is, I would not highlight the lettering with complex decor and fill it with color, I would draw everything in the same thickness, without giving anyone the main role.
And then I thought about the sketch for a couple of weeks and even drew several approximate options.
Follow the evolution ;)
At first I wanted to do lettering in Russian and Cyrillic to practice, but then I hit a wall called “I can’t find funny, but short and meaningful quotes that would look appropriate.” Either I’m so picky, or the Cyrillic alphabet is still too obliging and attracts attention. I changed everything to English and felt relief - after all, working with the Latin alphabet is much more familiar and easier for me.
Then I tormented the doodliks for a long time - in the original version there was a lot of things not about food - clouds, rainbows and all that, but by the final version I decided that the kitchen is not a place for clouds, I need more sweets, vegetables, cutlery and everything related to food . Therefore, I took the last sketch as a basis and redid it on the fly on the wall.
HOW TO TRANSFER A DRAWING TO A WALL
If you have a sketch and want to transfer it from your notebook/iPad to the wall, there are three main ways to transfer it.
Method one: by eye
The most banal, obvious and does not require additional gadgets. Look at the picture - try to repeat it on the wall. This is exactly the method that I used, because I had no time to organize the other two. It will work if it is not very important for you that the picture is repeated exactly, if you know how and are ready to improvise, and if you are not annoyed when the picture on the sketch and on the wall stop matching :) I decided for myself that it is easier to draw directly on wall without a sketch than to “peek”, because it is more annoying than helpful.
Method two: squares
This method allows you to transfer the image quite accurately, but it takes time. The idea is this: draw your sketch into squares, then draw the same squares on the wall and transfer the picture, using this grid as a support. That is, they schematically transferred the contents of one square, then the second, third, and so on. This still does not guarantee perfect accuracy and you will still need to adjust, but in theory it is easier than without squares. I didn't have the patience to draw the squares.
Method three: projector
The most convenient, but at the same time the most expensive method, which, alas, I also only know about in theory, because I had to wait three weeks for the chosen projector model and I haven’t bought it yet. There are two types of projectors: directly for artists, for transferring pictures onto the wall, and ordinary ones, with the help of which you can also watch films.
The most famous projectors for artists are produced by the American company Artograph. Most models are designed as follows: you put a sheet of paper with a sketch, put a projector on top and it projects the picture onto the wall. In my opinion, there are many disadvantages to this approach: the sketch must be clear enough and of a certain size so that, on the one hand, it fits into the space under the projector, and on the other hand, it must show a sufficient amount of detail. Well, it's not very cheap.
A projector that can also be used as a home theater is, in my opinion, a more reasonable solution. But here you need to understand this: not every projector that can show movies will be good for projecting pictures on the wall. There are a million all sorts of murky parameters, which are very well described in this note, here are the main ones to keep an eye on:
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a specific model to you, because I myself was confused in the choice and have not bought anything yet. If I find time, figure it out, buy it and test it, I’ll definitely write additionally. Judging by the Yandex.market, models that combine all the above qualities cannot be found cheaper than 50,000, but rather you should count on 80-90, so the pleasure is not cheap. I definitely wouldn’t take it for a one-time painting.
One of the most popular and sought after ways to decorate empty walls new apartment, country house is increasingly painting.

A correctly selected pattern on the wall, in addition to its decorative function, can visually enlarge or expand the room.
If you choose a picture for the kitchen, it is better to give preference to such scenes that make the room more comfortable - it could be an ancient city, still lifes.
For more creative people, you can consider the option of a winter landscape with wild animals.
If you paint on the wall in the living room, then a special approach is needed. After all, this room is a relaxation area for the whole family, a place where you invite your friends and family. When choosing a picture, view panoramic landscapes, famous works arts, optical illusions.
The hallway is the first room that your loved ones, family and friends who come to visit you see. This is where people get their first impression of you when renovating.
