im putting graffiti in the background atm as i try and learn traditional art basics. It's gotten to the point where skill wise i cant draw what i wanna draw.
Is there somewhere a list of all the (what 20?) fundamentals? I can call myself an experienced graffiti writer, so I want to get deeper in each specific fundamental. A list of all of 'em would be great!
@merrybentz I listed them all in this video if I remember correctly (I recorded this a while ago so I forget) . Should be 12 fundamental, then any techniques that you want to learn would be additional fundamentals added to the 12. Elements of art Line Shape Form Value Space Color Texture Art form specific fundamentals Letter structure Negative space management Letter/name weight Letter/name possitioning Flow Technique Stuff like blending or more medium specific skills like flare or cut backs
Now this is great and all but all your videos are the same. Practice the fundamentals, sure. Now maybe giving us some advice regarding how exactly we should practice, where to get the info etc. would be more helpful. Pretty sure your entire audience knows what to do, but some of us are unsure where to start.
well, it really just depends on where you're at as an artist. Like i went from mostly handstyles, to straight letters, trying to get better at wildstyles, but i need to learn about value, lighting and shading, but someone else could be really good at tradition art and needs to learn something like letter structure and letter weight.
@akooatic I don't want this to sound off but I don't think most of them do. Iv done thousands of critiques this year alone, and maybe 2 or 3 people followed the advice. People often need reminders. These videos are info for those who don't know, and these videos are a reminder on how to get back on track for those who do know. As artists we all need that reminder from time to time. Also, I have not only Playlist and books that teach all of this, I have 200+ videos where I teach all of this, show how it's applicable and recommend other ways to get the info, such googling and recommending fine art tutorials
Can you do videos putting your knowledge on advancing a toys skills? Actual instruction showing us how to do graffiti or improve. I know you have a book, but other writers like Sive teach how to draw and start from the letter structure always like you talk about.
@@BarackObama-su4jj I have plenty of videos doing exactly that.we have the crit videos, the rate videos, the tutorials (some of them I break everything down step by step), and full draw alongs
Hey, ive heard alot about online graff shops, wouldnt these kind of ruin the anonymity that graff writers need? I wanna know if its safe to buy from these stores or not
@Pooochowpoo I mean let's be real, if you're worried about o line graffiti stores ousting you then you have much bigger things to worry about. You ISP, your social media accounts, hell even your phones photos (even the deleted ones) are much more likely to get you caught for graffiti than a graffiti shop. Graffiti shops don't know what you're doing with that paint, they don't know what you write. You have all the anonymity you need with them assuming you don't out yourself and use your tag name with orders or emails. If your tag is in an email we'll that's yet another thing more of a threat that the shops. Even your comment and your UA-cam account are more revealing than Graff shops. Point being, graffiti shops are the least of your worries, and while some of the things I listed aren't too risky, they're still more risky than using a shop.
Ayyy Kesty - shout out Kesty/Kesti, dude is really chill and has a dope style. Got a commission from him and its still one of my favourite pieces i own. ✌️🔥
If you’re still interested in doing breakdown videos, i hope you’ll do a graffiti breakdown of Steve Mater (StevesArtStudio) - he has such a unique, however, simultaneously common style and i think it’d make a great video been practicing the basics as you instructed and i can now see how my old work was kinda wack😂 As always great videos man thanks for all the help♥️
Biting really isn’t good yea maybe it will help you make it look better but if you’re unable to learn the letters and develop them yourself and need to rely on others to make any type of progress you’ll end up stuck forever
I’m shocked how many different reasons you find to repeat the same thing lmao… wanna stop biting? Use the fundamentals… how do you find your style? Use the fundamentals… got a hot date and need sex tips? Use the fundamentals… got a court date? Prolly skip that or you goin to jail
@michaellamb9433 would you rather I lied and made up BS information that's not helpful to anyone? Anyone who knows the basics would understand the info and they would know why it's repeated. Pros in every other art form repeat the same thing. The fact that you're making fun of it tells me you likely don't know the basics yourself though you might think you do.
Took 20 seconds to get to the word fundamentals. I’m surprised it took that long 😂
@@applejackzo lmao you and me both. It's the word of the day EVERY DAY lol
🔥🔥🔥The book is dope thank u for making it I really appreciate that ur letting more ppl get into graffi 🙏🙏
This is not just about graffiti! It's about art.
This is what I understand the best food=art burgers=different styles😂

Oh, that's gonna be useful.
😆Been thinking how every art form is comparable to cooking🍔🍟

Fuck the fundamentals, if it looks good it looks good. It's graffiti, do your thing and who gives a fuck. Just get up and enjoy
Everone copys letters but just add stuff
@@MrFACTZ12 yeah that's the problem. It's by far the worst way to learn

I hate illegal graffiti
More accurate to say you hate vandalism*, then, since it seems to be the destruction of property that bothers your rather than the art itself.
Misunderstood instructions. Tried doin a whole car & ended up making burger
I don't want to watch your canal any more!
