Almost all "crews" are 100% pointless, the only exceptions are if the members are actually close friends....in person. The legendary crews are all homies and write together anonymously and then go about their normal lives hangin together
RVRB / EISI good to know because then letter structure needs to be more of a focus for you. Knowing key features of letters so you know what you can and CAN'T get away with when it comes to style. Some things simply break structures or suggest structures like the circle on the left of the V suggesting an I
Grim is right on point here. Negative space can be filled with color. When it is a sketch or drawing in pencil it can become confusing. Try drawing a good letter structure then add to it keeping in mind uniformity and letter structure.
good point on the missing extention/ arrow off of the B, it would add a nice balance & center the piece on a whole. instead of the circle to fill in space try extending the first leg of your V up a little higher, remember to have & play around with your letters until you find something that flows nicely. you're off to a good start though so keep it up bro
That tadpole analogy was brilliant! Number one fault is forcing wild extensions and bars for filling space to counteract odd transitions between letters.
Nice. I like how your critique actually points out the flaws and the issues without sugar coating them. Keep that up as it’ll help push people to improve.
whoooo ! he said" you can only break the rules when you know the rules".. awesome quote bro.. ive been trying to put that into words for years on schooling my little brother..
Hey grim i know you already have some videos going over the basics but can you make one with some more examples of the right and wrong way i.e right and wrong use of negative space. Thanks
Its not supposed to be a s its supposed to be a z and I'm not copying the name, I thought about it before is heard of rasko and there is someone else name zasko
He has the idea in his head . When you first learn how to write cursive..... all Mr.Echo's teachings come to be as the stucture of beautiful hand written documents, love letters,suicide notes have .
I am confused... doesn’t it always have a start and destination AND a travel distance. How would you take one out or is it ok to have all 3? I’ve been doin this for like a month and tryin to get better, No clue what the fundamentals are... even tho I’ve watched some of your videos. It’s like my brain is not understanding anything.. please help
The fundamentals are letter structure ( this is the most important one ), negative space management, letter and name weight, letter and name positioning and flow. Extensions are more advanced so you shouldn't worry about that just yet as it's only going to make life harder. Keep it simple, basic print font straight letters with no style. I have a ton of videos teaching this and how to do basic straights so feel free to check that out. Also watch the toys guid to graffiti playlist on my channel. It's made for new graffiti artists
@@somerandomlakersfan9464 exactly! you got it man, that's all it takes. understand though it's going to take years to learn these basics so dont rush it
Hey I had the same idea working with the word "Banana". I connected the two "an" to make them one letter. Is this such a bad idea? I dont want 6 letters in my throw ups I'll run out of time!
I found that the extension that he did on the left of the peice had too much structure cause when i first looked at the peice i thought that was supposed to be a z
I get the critiquing and everything but I mean everybody's got they're own style and I mean, unless it's like actually really bad I don't think you can really judge because art it different to everyone who views it
Chief Kimball their are actual set in stone rules in art (elements of art) then you have the fundamentals of the specific artform. These are also set in stone. Style is the exaggeration of these two sets of fundamentals. You first need to know how these work before you can add style because theirs a science behind why things work and why they don't. Theirs a reason why some things appeal to the eye, look good or look bad or are unappealing. For example you can't draw a portrait of someone, get all the anatomy wrong then say yup it's my style. If art were a language, our drawings the words, then the completed art being the story, then we need to know how the language works (we need to know the fundimentals) so we can speak clearly (have a clear correct image), so we can better communicate our story (better show our style and/or convey the story of the pic.
@Aether and the rest going on about how it's pronounced, it is "So-fuhls" if that makes sense.. Or think of it like, I'm so-full(s) as in you are too much...
I’ve been doin graff for a very long time but I’m learning a lot from your critiques I would love a critique I hash tagged abcrit in a pic on my ig dushawn_mandick
you don't have to seperate it. it speaks to graffiti artists. graffiti artist knows how to read graffiti art. not all graffiti piece have to have a balance maybe in poster art or billboard lettering but thats just the graffiti way of doing things in its raw form.
Lol use your own pieces to explain something. It’s so cringe when you try to break down writers pieces but you don’t understand how to piece in the first place. That “compressed extension” you went on about is a handle bar. Use your own shit maybe you’ll understand that, possibly
Glad I came to class today
You can only break the rules when you know the rules!
i like you , your video are great and you really humble
Yeah 😂😂
At least your not 3 years late for class
Why don’t you actually show us instead of waste of time breaking down someone else’s bad example?
If only more people knew how much goes into quality graffiti. Thanks for spelling it out Grim!
Well said Grim. Being an artist, any type of artist critique is very important. Critique is vital to learning as well as sharing knowledge!
Almost all "crews" are 100% pointless, the only exceptions are if the members are actually close friends....in person. The legendary crews are all homies and write together anonymously and then go about their normal lives hangin together
zofud I got kicked from a crew for BS fuck crews
Yup. Cruise are retarded.
Chuck Jones tom cruise is an excellent actor
With some Friends we "made a crew" what's the point? DOING FUCKING HUGE BLOCKBUSTERS WITH 3 PPL FOR 2 LETTERS
Authentic French Mentelgen that’s exactly the point sounds like a hella of a good time
Hahaha I fucking lost it at 3:16
Great video Grim, thanks for continuing to put these out!
With the v/i it is just a v the circle is a filler for negative space

RVRB / EISI fuck with straight letters yo
good point on the missing extention/ arrow off of the B, it would add a nice balance & center the piece on a whole. instead of the circle to fill in space try extending the first leg of your V up a little higher, remember to have & play around with your letters until you find something that flows nicely. you're off to a good start though so keep it up bro
*have fun & play...

I was having dinner, grim's video notification popped, fuck all of that, gotta define priorities, here am I
whoooo ! he said" you can only break the rules when you know the rules".. awesome quote bro.. ive been trying to put that into words for years on schooling my little brother..
Grim can u talk a little bit more about flow
I'm kinda fallin off about how it translates to paper
What does good flow look like vs bad flow
Keep up the crits man they're awesome! Love all the information you give 👍
I know this is 3 years ago but this video really helped me
3:15 funniest shiz ever 😂
Thank goddess someone else mentioned it!!!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks 😂
Finally a video on extensions!
yea i need more info on extensions. this foo grim is dope, just discovered him while looking up sabers wildstyle pieces on youtube..
Hey grim i know you already have some videos going over the basics but can you make one with some more examples of the right and wrong way i.e right and wrong use of negative space. Thanks
omgomgomg it´s the fuckin bench, boys and girls!
Great video, its very helpful!
Its not supposed to be a s its supposed to be a z and I'm not copying the name, I thought about it before is heard of rasko and there is someone else name zasko
Yoo finally I can start messing with extensions now that I know how they're supposed to work.
love the frog to prove your point

Oh so do basic letters and learn fundamentals then you can do the add ons for style?
@@somerandomlakersfan9464 exactly! you got it man, that's all it takes. understand though it's going to take years to learn these basics so dont rush it
The Artist Block thanks your awesome
dr grim of graffiti
Hey I had the same idea working with the word "Banana". I connected the two "an" to make them one letter. Is this such a bad idea? I dont want 6 letters in my throw ups I'll run out of time!
Still watch your vids everyday . My videos when I eat 😂
I wonder whats on his hands. Paint? Blood? Beelzebub the most unclean's juices?
Where can I send a piece for another critique?
sinix design, not a graffiti writer, has an incredible video on tangents in art
10/10 would recomend
How do i find other people that do graff that i can paint with
3:17 what is going on there?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👀
Good vid from helped me also! Why the beanies coat so much man I gotta buy one but I gotta make that dough!!!!Ill buy it tho grim
I am still a toy. I learned soemthing else from this as well. I cant really say much about the piece itself
How can I flow the name Gordo
Don´t forget the golde role in graffiti. Your letters can be how you want them to be. You will always have your own style..
Thats not the golden rule...
You are a GREAT teacher I wish you could personally train me. I’m a biiiiiig toy
I think the piece looks better with out the extensions
Good advice man
I found that the extension that he did on the left of the peice had too much structure cause when i first looked at the peice i thought that was supposed to be a z
Mad Respect
Is there anyway we can get a critique without having an instagram? cuz id like to hear what you think about my sketches but i dont have instagram.
Maybe E-Mail?
ive sent him an email, i doubt he'll reply
yo what did u send him
Sloth I sent him a sketch of mine.
Thanks very helpful
Nice
Awl that good stuff. Lol.
Yayy new vid!
I think the beanies are too expensive man... I would like to get one but I might not be able to
Jp Productions no worries man thanks for the feedback I'll keep it in mind next go around
I get the critiquing and everything but I mean everybody's got they're own style and I mean, unless it's like actually really bad I don't think you can really judge because art it different to everyone who views it

Youre amazing
Needs to work on 3D aswell
He’s still Better than me
Everything will come with time and practice man, jus keep it up and you'll be fine.
FYI high rn, but if he accepts ALL types of art man... like dam. One day
MEET EERRBODY AT THE BENCH!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
just Connect the dot with the V.
Hello
Gossshhh
Cool
Opening piece... dude..your "v" looks like "iv"
Ayyyyeee
Buy a beanie, save a life
great vids man. im subbing up. #BossHogg
Pretty sure it's SAH-FULLS not SOF-LESS.
=]
Aether I've always said SOF-LESS also lol
I've always heard sau-fulls. Sof-les sounds fucked 😂
Sof-les sounds way better, how do you even say sau-fulls?? :D
@Aether and the rest going on about how it's pronounced, it is "So-fuhls" if that makes sense.. Or think of it like, I'm so-full(s) as in you are too much...
ate too much food*
So no one's gonna talk bout his fingers?
3:17 yo
once you learn letter structure, extentions will come naturally.. thats another one..
Like what you said, can you give me some feedback on my art work?
Vertex... not vertice. Vertices = plural of "vertex"
Edit: not hating. Love this video: it's so thorough and technical. Best ever.
3:15
In graffiti we can be our own grandpa. There are no rules, that's whats nice about it. Wildstyle, bubble style, no style. It's all up to YOU.
I mean nobody's stopping you from doing whatever you want to do but if you want it to look good you gotta use the fundamentals
So graffiti needs STD's? Source, Travel, Distance. Got it 😌
I'm coming for you "O" 😂😂😂
I’ve been doin graff for a very long time but I’m learning a lot from your critiques I would love a critique I hash tagged abcrit in a pic on my ig dushawn_mandick
First
Lol 3:16
lol
This guy needs to learn fundamentals then focus on advanced pieces
you don't have to seperate it. it speaks to graffiti artists. graffiti artist knows how to read graffiti art. not all graffiti piece have to have a balance maybe in poster art or billboard lettering but thats just the graffiti way of doing things in its raw form.
50th like
1st
And lowkey that Rvrb kid is toy, a crew can't help that.
Senohs OG
Do you know what a toy is??? LMAO and a crew can help but not so much through the Internet
a person who gives a stupid non helping opinion and at the same time calling other writer a toy is a complete toy. real talks man.
Lol use your own pieces to explain something. It’s so cringe when you try to break down writers pieces but you don’t understand how to piece in the first place. That “compressed extension” you went on about is a handle bar. Use your own shit maybe you’ll understand that, possibly
