hey i got a question. people keep telling me to do simps, and work on bars. im not retarded, i can draw simple block letter, no style, etc. i can round the edges, make them simple bubble letter... no style. what should i do to try to develop style, every time i post a pic, people just tell me to do simps. and its geting boring, and frustrating. i want to start haveing fun, but everytime i try... i suck.
this is gonna sound dick but the reason you suck is becuase your not sketching eniugj, no matterwhat people tell yousketching is one of the mos important things you can do, your gonna fuck up alot of skethes before you sketh somethin you like, once youve pratically skethed yourself silly, make sure your shit is stilll legible once its intricate, then use paint, you can still have fun just take your time, where do you live, observe others styles around you, people that are good, im not sayiing bite there shit but by walking around ansd checking out other peoples styles you will soon grow knowledgeble on the style of your so alled area and then from there you can tweak your own style and put your own uniue twist into your own shit, go with the flow, to something stylistic but not sloppy, it is fuckin hard, your gonna fuckin hate 85 percent of your sketches a garuntee you until you do some good shit its just a part of the game, but dont give up start slow for example, make every single letter in your name a keyboard font ans add things to the letters to not change the shape but just add something that looks appealing you know but WITHOUT changing the letter shape, keep practicing stuff like that and eventually youll get it
oh yeah, and make your shit look like you wouldnt want to fuck with it you know, dont make it all soft make it look like pissed off, its graffiti were all pissed off to some extent right, lol jp but seriously, uh yeah do simples but its more about skething, also if your having trouble painting i suggest a few things, first, using aerosal is way different from any other form of painting, you paint holding the can a good distance form the wall not lose to the wall thats how drips happen, i really shouldnt be telling you thins i should say figure it the fuck out yourself, but wtf i like helping people, also never think you an jsut take your time with a can, BRISK movements make clean lines, also dont let your hand shake when moving the can, you need to have a strong grip, you cant be weak. thats all the real advice i can give now, the secret to getting clean lines iis not always in the first blow, but applying layers to the surface until you get a line consistecy you like, alright thats all igot for tonight, hope that helped man, good luck to ya, peace
haha word, thats pretty normal, we all go through stages of hating our shit, really the only option if you hate your shit, is to make it into something you dont hate, so sketch some shit you think will look dope, dont think to hard about it, close your eyes and imagine a style you think would look really sick on a wall, and just do it, try itout
i'm not beefin but if you're still toy i wouldnt get montana just yet. just a waste of money if youre gonna be doing throws with it. im still sticking to rusto and i just started painting again like a week ago.
n e wun boughten wholesale paint online? im not talkn belmonts and montanas and shit. Im talkn like rusto, krylon, or shitt paint
xfish dude, no beef but judging from your sketches it doesn't look like you're ready for walls yet. get your simples down and be able to bust a decent tag at least first
na its fine guys i am a major toy and i suck but all ive done is just play around on plywood in the backyard havent tagged any where yet
stik to plywood till your kinda good, or just write on whatever to piss off the ommunity wehatevr haha
yeah plywood and this tunnel in my frinds creek no one ever goes down there and its jst for water to pass thru. next time i go over there well practice there he does some pretty sick bubble letters
i got a question but i know for sure im gonna get shit hung on me for askin. i finally decided on a name to tag and i been doing a few like nothing much cos im still shit, but then i found out theres a distinguished writer using the same name. shud i change? or u reckon its on the other side of the world so it dont matter as much? not looking for beef
yea I'm havin the same fucking problem. I want my tag to fit me ya know and everything that I think of that I think is original I do the research to make sure it aint taken and it either is or if it isn't then I decide I don't like it for one reason or another...
Your probably gonna quit or change your name in the first couple years so learn the basics and youll have tons of time to think of a name, when you got a name youll know it, the name becomes you and everything about you and you cant leave the thing. I wanna know about belton, Any cats in here try it out. It seems like sick paint, I mean easy to control and comes out smooth, good colours etc etc etc. Just wondering if it was comparable to any graffiti pant.
i havent tried belton but it is mainly for really complex peices, nice and slow. im thinking it's like montana 94
I think Anion uses Belton, but I could be wrong. Ask him. And I agree with Weak. When you find the name, you find it. You know you've found it. And yeah, expect tons of name changes just to find it. Don't worry too much about it though, just work with a name you like and get the basics of letters down and you'll find it eventually.
