Low pressure isnt necessarily easier to control than high pressure though... If you're doing an outline or aura type thing, the high pressure can will actually give you a more consistent (width) line than the low pressure, even if your control isn't all there yet. Low pressure is easier for fine detail, yes, but it will also be less forgiving for toys with less stable hands. Too much control ends up being a con at one point, especially to those who don't know what it is exactly they're controlling.. just speaking from experience
Yeah most def. I mainly use low pressure either montana golds or evolves but i didn't realize how much harder it was for me to learn outlines because i thought i was being a "pro" using cool cans lmao
@@Terra101 when you try to make a long line with a thin tip it shows any and all inaccuracies with your line whether it's a shakey line, the line getting thicker or thiner in sections or even where your lines connect.. With a larger cap you can't see every little detail that you may have messed up.. They tend to be much more forgiving..
I get it's "rare" to get respect from graffiti artists and I do understand that mentality. Same with being tattoo apprentice. You really have to earn that treatment. That being said. Graffiti can bring the tightest and most genuine friendships on all levels. Say you and some guys in a small town start seeing each others work and being as there aren't many artists. A lot of time you become family. Same goes with skating. Surfing. Music. You gotta suck and get ribbed by the ones that don't suck. This is done as a right of passage. To weed out the fakes. If you love it in your heart and soul you won't look at the shade as nothing more than something they ALL go through. Use that as the fuel for your rocket so hopefully you can tell some kid tthey suck to fuel theirs.
My older friend gave me years ago a tip about can control when i was toy😁 to practice simple shapes like square, triangle and circle and try make them as best looking as possible. Also different sizes from tiny to medium , large etc. That was massive help. If you start graffiti try 100 squares etc you will learn a lot before trying to do piece. 🙌
Aye man , just gotta say. You're probably the most authentic dude on UA-cam when it comes to graff tutorials n what not. Everyone else is either way too serious or trying to hard to be cool. You seem natural behind a camera. Thanks for the great content man! Keel it going
Please more videos like this! Seeing crazy nice pieces step by step is nice, but for someone like me, these videos give em something to practice and use right away to improve my game
Im just starting out with graffiti and i made a list of all the inportant aspects: # PRESSURE -low pressure cans for more control -high pressure cans for filling and flares # CAP PRESSURE -the more pressure you apply to the cap, the more comes out and the thicker the lines are -applying pressure to the back of the cap (even a lot of pressure) makes the line thin and applying a TINY bit of pressure at the back makes a REALLY thin line # CAP SIZES -fat caps: 4 finger larger spray (more filled in) -skinny caps: much smaller spray (about 2 fingers) # WALL TECHNIQUE -the closer you are to a wall, the thinner and opaque-er your lines going to be, but more dripping risk -the farther away to the wall, the pain gets less opaque but less dripping risk # SPEED -the slower you move the can, the clearer the line will be and less dustier. also you get more control # FLARES -to make a successful flare, start farther away from the wall and move the can closer. don't forget to wait for the paint to catch up to the wall before swinging the can -the more you angle the can, the more dusted-out the line is
I understand that people would like to learn about can control. But in my case it was great trying out a new cap or a new can for the first time and trying different caps on different cans . I still love the sound of a rattling can. When you always bomb and then you have all the time in the world it's easy to do a line . Just keep painting .
Thank you so much! I was looking for this video in my language, but yours was more didactic. Hopefully i can understand english very well. Thank you again bro!
Damn. I've been writing for almost ten years and been watching your videos for a vast majority of those. Still learned something new today. Good job, keep it up!
I'm from, BX NYC!! My tag was"DIAONE MSK.. I ran HARD!!! from 1979 until 1990. With,, Tracy168,SAK, FLITE, 2NEW,etc. U get the point. And i have to say....! Bro i LOVE UR TUTORIALS! IM A FAN.

Never met you, but went to Marshall same years with King) Robert B. I wrote SHAE OTR. I was more a tagger/bomber. I'm 52, started practicing again bout 10 years ago. I thought I needed the best paint. It didn't matter until I literally slowed down and took my time
@@njackvanhollebeke786 Well, the bright pink and orange didn't cover too well but other than that, it's holding up pretty good. Put clear laquer on it, one component. Put it through the car wash even.
This was so usefull. I'm going to be doing my first mural soon, and the spray paint shop doesn't have samples on what the spay techniques look like. So this was great!
I spent 2-4 hours outside and my pinky and ring finger are aching. At first my lines were huge and I played with the fats and skinny. It wasnt until the cans started to get lighter as the time went (because of use). Two or three hours later I was thinking about all the things you said and it started to click. Let the rim of the can touch the wall and light pressure and my lines started to get thinner. I decided to give it a rest and try again another day. I must say i regret buying the montana blacks if i knew thats how fast the paint was going to come out. I feel my lines would have been much better from the start with golds.
I love it!!! Can u do a video of which spray paint is the most durable, permanent & longer lasting…beside rustos, which is the best montana spray paint? I hear montana black is longevity & out last all paints
Thanks for the video. I learned a lot in under ten minutes and without all the bullshit and filler a lot of other video makers put in. Concise and to the point: awesome!
Most of the stuff I‘ve know already but some stuff was new to me or it was forgotten in my mind. Thanks a lot! Appreciate the tutorial :) I would like some more!!!
Wish this existed when i started out 10 years ago. Learned all this by trial and error while screwing up my pieces for years, man. Cheers for doing this for the beginners :D
Thanks a lot! im from Russia and from this video i learned more than from same videos in russian language!!! its awesome! P.S. sorry for my bad english (
What is your opinion on cheaper cans , like from hardware stores , have been into graff for a long time but i have been only using markers for a long time , and i havent moved onto cans yet , but if you had to rate them , how would you rate hardware store cans? PS.:Great vids bro , keep it up!
I have to paint a picture window blind which is pretty wide, 80", what is the best way to paint this? Can it be done in sections instead of trying to go from one side to the other which is long! Thanks
I’m getting back to using cans but with more artistic style pieces. It’s been sometime since using a can and when it comes to getting straight hard lines it’s been rough. Any extra techniques that may help out? Or tips that would make it better? Appreciate the videos
Hey Grim thanks for the site on the Elements of art. I've going thew your old videos that have to do with Straight letter, drop shadows, tips for tags, and throw ups, but as a new writer its hard to know if I'm doing it right. Would you be able to do a video on the alphabet or at least email one for point of reference so I'm not biting you. Also another video on can control would be dope. You the Real MVP when it comes to graffiti. Wish you lived in TEXAS.

Fun fact: cans you buy in the stores, like Lowe's, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, etc., usually don't have good pressure which means they can't really "flare".
Please more videos like this! Seeing crazy nice pieces step by step is nice, but for someone like me, these videos give em something to practice and use right away to improve my game
Im just starting out with graffiti and i made a list of all the inportant aspects:
# PRESSURE
-low pressure cans for more control
-high pressure cans for filling and flares
# CAP PRESSURE
-the more pressure you apply to the cap, the more comes out and the thicker the lines are
-applying pressure to the back of the cap (even a lot of pressure) makes the line thin
and applying a TINY bit of pressure at the back makes a REALLY thin line
# CAP SIZES
-fat caps: 4 finger larger spray (more filled in)
-skinny caps: much smaller spray (about 2 fingers)
# WALL TECHNIQUE
-the closer you are to a wall, the thinner and opaque-er your lines going to be, but more dripping risk
-the farther away to the wall, the pain gets less opaque but less dripping risk
# SPEED
-the slower you move the can, the clearer the line will be and less dustier. also you get
more control
# FLARES
-to make a successful flare, start farther away from the wall and move the can closer. don't forget
to wait for the paint to catch up to the wall before swinging the can
-the more you angle the can, the more dusted-out the line is

It depends on the can/valve and cap.

Very helpful, more please.
I hate flares and all that hélio bray toy stuff. Can you also do a version with advice on how to use stock caps and needle caps?
Grim, you are the man!
This was dope.
Low pressure gives you more can control....
But personally can control comes in time and practice
I gotta admit I was a little distracted during the video because of Jack Jack in the background, so adorable hahaha
