christo-f Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Still got a lot of practice required but I learned a few things on this one: - Fuck working with yellow paint and fuck Ironlak in general. That shit is USD9 a can here and the yellow is more watery than my piss, I had 2 cans with no pressure at all and the colours vary regardless if it says it's the same colour on the can. - Buy a step ladder - wear sun block. Could fry an egg on the back of my neck that N is borked out to fuck.... fashn atomic OL by jiangtaixi, on Flickr IMG_7709 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%juice Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Ironlak and all those other chinese manufactured paints do suck, but honestly there isnt any brand of spray paint with a bright yellow that has decent opacity. its just one of those colors that its better to use for a trim, highlights, outer, or effects. if you sub out a bright green for it you can get the same contrast level but much better coverage in most brands of paint. you did pretty good matching up the painting to what you sketched. however.. the sketch needs work badly. the lettering isnt cohesive. when starting out, its better if you keep the letters based off of some established lettering convention. old school chicago heads used to say "carnival letters" or "funk letters" you can get a much more palatable result using a calculated letter spacing, height, and weight. its not the most exciting thing but without it the basis of your graffiti will always be flawed. the color fades and effects are pretty good though, and the highlight in the dimension is good as well.

Decyferon Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 yea I always regret not having a ladder or at least something to stand on. Sucks that Yellow is such a shitty colour because I really like it. I really like the Monkey and The Fish fill with the greys and highlights looks dope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christo-f Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Went out to paint some carnival letters today, seems I should have left the paint at home instead. 10% shit paint 10% wind 80% lack of ability (sketch was a little bit rushed, to be honest) IMG_7821 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr IMG_7784 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr IMG_7785 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr IMG_7790 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%juice Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 this is way way way better. a ton of progression from the last one as far as good proportion and letter spacing, height, and weight. a few hundred more and you'll be painting burners. gotta get that line weight consistent so each line is the same weight as the next. like some of the outlines are thicker and some are thinner. if they are going to be different it needs to be well planned out and deliberate. once you really get the hang of it more you can start using variable line weights to add style, but its better to learn to make them all consistent from the beginning. eventually you may decide to give them variations tho.

christo-f Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Went with an established letter convention today and tried my first blockbuster....., should have bought the tape measure with me! borked out on the F, left bars of the S don't match up as I ran out of orange, a bunch of fill doesn't match the lean of the letters and some of the 3D is out of whack. Fuck a straight line. IMG_7877 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr IMG_7862 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%juice Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 dont beat yourself up over it. its really hard to do designs that have long parrallel lines. its awesome you are trying out something new all the time. sometimes if you are gonna rock a design with lot of long parrellel lines you can be doing it on a wall with cinder blocks or bricks and use them to cheat.

christo-f Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Getting the working week of to a good start. Had to leave before I was done so there are a few touches that I need to fix in the 3D, the bottom of the letters and some shadow, but it's pretty much there. Won't be painting cracks, don't want to crowd it. Fashn wing by jiangtaixi, on Flickr IMG_7888 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christo-f Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 went back and touched up a few spots that were bugging me and now the negative space on the inside loop of the S is bugging me. Gave some Xmas ups to my god kids as well, they'll love it. IMG_7944 by jiangtaixi, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xoXox Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 would look better with a smaller force field and that "s" i think does not mesh that well but its cool :) work on dem hands though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christo-f Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yeah the hands are done so two little kids can actually read it. Not that my hands are that great anyway, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleazeside Heights Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 i like those hands actually. def a cool/interesting piece man. I think the F could be better, if it looked just like it did on the sketch it would fit a lot better, if the bars weren't touching. and Phoe, that's probably the most innovative and original ones to date, very fresh. There's no one else pushing the boundaries in Jersey right now, props to you for thinking outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christo-f Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Shit, you're right, I didn't pick up on that. The bottom horizontal bar of the F is far too thick and should be lower at the top. Goddamnit, that is going to bug the shit out of me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
