I'd say avoid intentional cutbacks as much as possible. It's inevitable for people learning to have to do some cutbacks, but making a line with the intention of doing so usually takes away from the fluidity of most pieces. When you look up close at most real graffiti you'll realize that most outlines are done in one shot, and almost all illegal burners still have a few drips and imperfections. Most people looking from 10+ feet away (which is conveniently where most photos seen on the internet are taken from) won't even perceive them in the same way you're much more likely to notice a blemish on your face than the people you interact with. Chances are your favorite writer uses rusto with stock tips.
go find a river system in your city. Find an entrance and go paint under a street/bridge somewhere. I spend all day trying 20 different tips until i settled on NY FAT/Pink dot to fill. Lego's and skinny creams to outline/cutback.
Also another way I know to practice drawing with cans *legally* is to put strech out something like foil in between two poles for example. This way you dont have to worry about painting anything accidentally, and you get to have a clean surface every time you paint (assuming you dont reuse said foil)
im from the 90s i cant with all these cans and cap combos it drives me crazy when i go out once and a while to paint,, it was phantoms for outline and designs, ny fats for tags and fills, and rusto fats..orchard paint i forget we did something else to use those..the good old days crazy easy lol
does is lag in anyway?? i’ve been thinking about buying that graff game to pass time when not in the streets but i’ve been using vr chat in a graffiti world lmk tho
If you buy rolled paper at Home Depot or Lowe’s, you can cut out a huge piece and hang it up with carpenters tape so you have a huge surface to practice on.
What u think of ironlak paint big dog? Been hitting the books and different culverts to practice everyday. Also me and my friend who writes accidentally came up with a term for being the first to a wall “hosted”. If u the first there u hosting the wall. Ya know
My biggest nemesis.. been searching for any way I can cheaply simulate spraying using different pressures, caps etc but can’t find anything :/ Hope this helps me
This topic came up in my circle. The fact that the community suffers through a new artist who thinks there ready for walls when they are obviously not. There's and almost every other toys crap is covered your city in a gross way just waiting for someone to buff it so they can hit it again. There's nit much 101 either. Kats paint on anything with no edikit. Landmark statues, diamonds on mirror, and wood fences on ppls homes. How do we communicate to them. Artist with skill or savage vandal toy??
Personally I've always advocated for more time practicing getting control over blending and linework with the tools you had at hand. In my early days, I noticed that too much time spent cutting back on lines and blends that should have been done right the first time affected two things: stamina and overall aesthetic quality.
A wall that is legal to paint on = legal wall. Unclaimed walls are still illegal and you can be arrested or fined while painting on those. Normally, depending on the spot, some cops don't care if you paint these unclaimed tucked away or abandoned walls BUT that doesn't make them legal and sometimes it can even be a felony depending on the wall
Lol I mean by all means what cans are your go to cans? I'd love to give them a try. I like Montana, I loved sabotaz, fresh paint . I haven't been able to try much of the newer stuff out there stuff so I'm always open to people's suggestions
@Theartistblock my go to is (montana) colors.. Havent tried sabotaz or fresh paint. I use alot of Sherwin Williams; ibgot my start as a commercial exterior painter on a graco airless. Colors actually came before cans, my prejudice is over the history and not the quality. My close second is probably loop, The pressure feels very stable the whole way. I honestly didn't expect you to reply, thanks man.

Stock tips all day! Maybe a fat for some throws but fuck yeah lol. Stock tip pieces all day!
The fundamentals man, if you can’t flare with a stock tip you need to go back to basics
All facts man! I always tell my homies to not worry about a drip or those little details, no one will notice them when they pass at +60km/h
Hey grim could you do a video about how you built your wall?

Nice to see VIBES of the RT crew getting lots of love on your channel mate. Great vids.

Lol much more straight forward back then
The Oculus quest has helped me with my can control
Chronically online please go hit a wall
does is lag in anyway?? i’ve been thinking about buying that graff game to pass time when not in the streets but i’ve been using vr chat in a graffiti world lmk tho
Yo mine worked fine, no lag
It's still not the same I mean the distance between the can and the wall yes but an actual can has pressure it's not smooth like on king spray
@@mybannerisbetterthanyours no it doesn’t lag literally at all i’ve got 1000’s of hours never experienced lag even once
Thank you for sharing, it’s always inspiring to learn different techniques & as always, practice makes perfect. Rock on ✌️🙌🏼
that jumpscare at the start though
i built a 8ft by 8ft wall for under $50 2 sheets of plywood and 5 2x4s ur good to go

Always enjoy The knowledge you give, keep up the bench bro✌🏽

Highschool kids probably
Are screen projector cheating, when it's your own work, but you wanna get the size right.

Tip: painting on brick helps if you dig an 8-bit style.

I have just sent it on walls man I’m new tho and I’m working on it
What john leguizamo movie quote is that at the beginning?

Wherd u get fresh paint from cant find it anymore?
They sponsored me years ago and I still have a few left. I don't intend to use any more now that I know they don't make them any more
If people have a hard time painting a wall, what more a train or any other vehicle?
what was that intro
@jongrim aka @theartistblock define "legal wall"? please .. is it an unclaimed wall or a something more that terminology?
A wall that is legal to paint on = legal wall. Unclaimed walls are still illegal and you can be arrested or fined while painting on those. Normally, depending on the spot, some cops don't care if you paint these unclaimed tucked away or abandoned walls BUT that doesn't make them legal and sometimes it can even be a felony depending on the wall
