Tyler Durden Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 do things that are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY simple. im talking like........ going into ms word and printing out your name in a font like "impact" (is that even in ms word?) draw a really simple 3-d on it and go outside on your board and just take your time trying to do it. dont force anything and dont try to like.....pioneer styles at this stage.just learn how to make really simple stuff come out looking "right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~DeNtOnE~ Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 well good try your stuff aint to bad the b is the best and the shade on the rope thing aint to bad it all depends on how long that took you tho well keep up the work go out hit the streets ... i say is practice on flare'n out your hand and hiting some hands on the street frist then bombs then work your way up slowly..:D oh ya that rad sucks so bad im sorry!!!:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suckerslayer Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 sherm sticks just learn can control, dont worry about style... no one really cares about that as long as you bomb hard and are from a renouned city... llok at peopel like VFR from NYC. he has mad control, but his throws were nothing technical. he was up hard core for his time. of course, i'm not from new york, but i am just using an example. just bomb hard, the styles will come. yes, we are all toys... oooooooh rock my amedeus -falco- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabama Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 1. i would use roll paint on those pieces of wood...just to make them hold paint better... 2. study shit on here and learn to 3d your stuff, and to border it (go all the way around it with another color)---youve got the cloud, but on that B, you couldve gone around it with rusto yeller or something and it wouldve brought it out a lot... 3. put those pieces of wood together after youve buffed them, paint a full piece with 3d's and a border and come back and show us then.... honestly...i would buff that wood and just stand there making lines...figuring out how far to hold your hand from the surface, how fast to move it, how to press and release the cap...just fucking with it...then repaint it, and try again... good luck there buddy...

Guest ToYs Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 thanks for all the cricism. WOW people are telling me to go practice on the streets, i posted before and was told to quit graffiti. WOOHOO! nah but thanks for the comments. and yeah i got a big "backyard" but the size of my ass is none of your business wierdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fr8lover Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 just keep to the board and practice over and over every day and you'll notice improvement. i mean, yeah, it kinda sucks that its come to people learning on a board in the backyard but i think in the long run youll thank yourself for not trying to go "all out" with absolutely no talent in the bag yet, you know? keep it up and everytime youll see at least some form of improvement if you keep at it. you are going to have to cut with the corny characters and start to figure out basic letter structure and color theory before you do anything else, though.

Guest HOST18 DYM Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Practice on paper.. not wood.. wood has nothing to do with anything, so don't use it. Get a book and practice letter structures, start with straight letters. When you come up with something you consider decent, go outside (no not outside to your back yard) and paint it. The experiance of painting outside where graffiti is done is just as important as practicing your letters on paper. Repeat these steps until your dead.

Destruction by Definition Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 that character or whatever next to the B is pretty cool..but get a sketchbook...wood is a waste of time and lots of paint...so just fill a book then paint out in the street...and it might have been a mistake painting in your yard also because im sure your parents (if your living with them) are going to be curious about why youre going to work on those boards...but oh well...

Guest uncle-boy Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 i didn't read everyone elses comments so if it's been said sorry. i think your starting out good mr.toys. if i could offer any advice, i'd say cut your lines. just use the fill color to "cut" your outlines so it's cleaner and doesnt have the little over spray and stuff. its really easy and makes a big difference. then learn how to put a good drop shadow on your bomb after that just keep up the good work. oh yeah, draw a lot on in your sketch book its helps tremendously.
