    How do I flex painting with a curfew? Should I just catch tags until I can get out later? Handstyles get old fast

    you talkin bout a curfew with you parents? ......cause you shouldnt be worried about breaking a city's curfew if your doing graffiti. If your committed curfew shouldnt stop you from painting what you want when you want

    wait till they are asleep, and then sneak out. Thats what I did when i was young, sure I got a few beatdowns, but they were scarce compared to the amount of times i snuck out and didnt get caught

    My house actually has an alarm thing that rings whenever a door or window is open. Normally, I just leave, come back, and if they wake up, just say "so and so's computer had a virus and needed to print his paper for tomorrow."
    I never bring a backpack or anything, just one or two cans and stick them in my waistband.

    Anyway, you can either do what I do, or you can catch tags in the day. I do both, just look both ways, do it, walk away.

    Anyone know of any exercises to steady my hands a bit? Even just for sketching on paper, google's giving me sweet fuck all right about now.

    ^lol. Alright so this is what your gonna want to do, get a brick, or something that ways about the same, and has the same solidness as a brick, so no books or anything with pointy edges. Your gonna hold the brick in your writing hand by the top(so hold it long ways), and toss it up in the air, and then make your hand do a vertical 360 or circle/loop around the brick and then catch it at the top. If might take a few tries before you get it down, but it will stengthen your hand and that entire arm. Ready go.

    That is probably the most fucked up sounding thing I've ever heard of haha, but fuck it, nothing to lose so I might as well try it when I can find a loose brick.

    uh if your lines are shaky its cause of your hand movement not your hand muscles. To have better hand movements and no shaky lines you have to practice.

    But if you literally want to make your hand stronger i suggest^..... its a brick it ways like 3 pounds, man up

    good can control requires full body movement, not just your hand/wrist/arm. make sure you have a solid base, feet shoulder width, and get used to bending those knees and leaning.

    also get the flow down by moving the direction of the can but not pressing the tip down a few times before spraying
