dear god. quit now or drop this hobby. first off, damn bruh ironlak ? ? blahh i guess we all start somewhere . BARS . work on em. no touch ups View attachment 619945
Big Africa/Oreo: Dude, use dollar cans and maybe even rustos. Do not use Ironlaks yet. Way too soon. If I were you, I'd find myself a notebook or a bunch of paper and practice, practice practice. Get an idea of what you're doing and what you should be doing before you paint. There are a couple threads on the Toys Forum that'll do you good. Search around and ask questions, post pictures for criticism, all that good stuff. But stick to paper. However, I do give you props for getting up. So keep on looking for advice, take it, learn from it, and put it in practice.
I can't distinguish a p at all. but the fade is nice, do something more exciting with the grays and the fill could be decent. but worry about letters right now shit's hurtin diggin it erps
Throwie yeh i accidentally did my n backwards rookie mistake. First ever attempt at a piece all feedback accepted the k sucks a bit using $2 cans.
For the throwie oultine, don't go over your lines so many times. From one toy to another, it's too soon to be working on pieces like that man. Work on your throwie letters, I'm not going to tell you not to use paint, because people on here that say that are dumbfucks, but do sketch your bubble letters out when you're not painting and work on can control. I assume you've been painting for like a month maybe? Just take it slow man, props on the attempted piece, I have seen worse but just take your time. A tag turns into a throwie, a throwie into a piece, and a piece into a burner. That will happen over a long period of time, don't fret it and keep at it.
Also, those may or may not be rusto cans, it looks cheaper but, just a tip; When you start to get better, order some 'cap adapters.' They will help out a lot. But only do so after you've been painting for a bit longer and get better.
Dankoner: Please see the new to graffiti thread. Edit: Read it end to end. several times. Practice what is says until you are absolutly sick of it and keep doing it. Build your house from the foundation first not the roof.
Alright thank's for the feedback and yeh ive been writing for probably less then a month. its not rusto its called Australian Export obviously i live in Australia also i know my tag is horrible i find it hard to make a nice Dank Tag
Dank kinda disregard what tophaa said its never too soon to work on pieces. You should make sketches of them, dont paint them right away. And when people say hit the books on here, they are actually right; they arent being "dumbfucks". You need to practice practice practice practice. Trust me it helps alot. Now i am not saying dont practice with paint. Go to home depo or wallmart and get the dollar cans of paint. Im pretty sure everyone has used them to practice their can control and to test out new pieces and throwies. Dont waste money on rusto at this point unless you have something solid down. Your piece isnt that bad for a first try, you just need to make some of the letters more structured; The K doesnt look like a K at all. Mess around with that on paper still though it has potential. And for your throwie thats how my first throwies came out. Its also not bad for a first but clean it up a bit, u shouldnt have overlaps in the outline. Just because its not that bad, that doesnt mean dont work on it; always try to improve your shit with new styles
I agree with you Mido, That's basically what I was saying man. When i first starting posting on here a few months back, people told me to stop painting. I completely disregarded what they said, but I did take their crits and sketched everyday, and I have progressed drastically. I think it is kind of ridiculous that some people can draw an insanely complex wildstyle piece, but they have never painted. Props for those people knowing complexities, but drawing establishes a necessary foundation in which you should paint upon. I feel like you should draw and paint together, not just one or the other. Mido, I know that you can't say that you have never seen a perhaps more talented writer telling new writers to "quit" or to "not use paint." Dank, my first throwies looked about like that a few months back, realize that in 2-3 months, you will be laughing at your first pieces. When you notice the advancement, it is very rewarding and motivating.
