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.
yo im dead serious, I still to do it from time to time, i guess you could do it with a 5pd dumbell or something if you dont have a brick... It makes your hand real strong tho, used to do it when I played baseball, makes your grip real good
What? they are blunt, but they are not sharp Lol im serious breh, Idk why he thinks a stronger hand is going to help is handlstyle but it does make your hands stronger. Any questions? View attachment 606904
Nah, it's just my lines are shaky as fuck and I kind of want to cut down on it, I know it won't produce some sick style just from throwing shit up and catching it,
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
some stuff to buy so hey everybody i just started doind graffiti or attempting to, but im using sharpies and my birthday is coming up so i was gunna buy the molotow starter set which includes a 12 pack of molotow 227hs and 2 extra finliners a graff coloring book and a blackbook, will the molotow markers bleed through the blackbook paper and other paper? if so is otr ink graphik markers a better buy for s starter set? hope somebody can help
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
uh your telling me this why? This isnt a fuckin geometry class fool, the bluntness of the brick helps strengthen your hand, makes your skin tougher and your grip better. you obviously have little baby hand since you can handle brick tossing [Broken External Image]:http://otrsportsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Jimmy-Clausen1.jpg sharp and pointy are 2 completely different things, so stop changing your mind about it
wtf is going on in this thread? is there some type of significance about the brick that i don't yet understand? if i unlock the secret as to whether bricks are sharp or pointy edged will that help me king the freeways or someshit? you want to steady your hand? draw more... your can control sucks? paint more. everyones shit is sloppy at first..the more you do it the more you excercise the fine muscles in your hands.. just like working out your biceps or abs you have to work out the muscles in your hands so to speak, the more you draw the better you get, if you stop drawing for a long period of time (and i can attest to this) your skills will start to deteriorate. the same thing applies with can control. go paint.
how do you guys get clean, crisp lines when you paint? I know the deal with cuts and such but whenever i make a line even if it's somewhat crisp it always seems like theres a little bit of overspray or somethin and some of the color just mists a little past the edges which makes the lines look less sharp. Is this somethin with air pressure? Should i let some pressure out of the cans first?
it has to do with the angle you are holding the can at. move your entire body and make sure that the angle you are using to point the cap stays the same for the entire length of the line. when you start altering the angle of the can you get the "mist" effect, and can use it for flares, blending, etc. or it could be the caps you are rocking and have nothing to do with your control. personally i love seeing throws with the outlines dusted at the top and bottom
word, im just fuckin around with pieces and such, tryin to get the cleanliness down. Also somewhat unrelated, but these babies are $2 at a store round me, its sweet [Broken External Image]:http://www.labsafety.com/images/xl/RUST-OLEUM-Hard-Hat-LSS-_i_LBM56652.jpg
