senc Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 word. i've been stenciling for a while now but only tended to use smaller A4 size stecils ones that can easily fit in your bag or can hide under your coat, but i've always wondered how people carry about their bigger stencil? i've used one of those A2 folders that you would carry a large piece of paper in that you don't want bending. they're generally pretty good and no-one really suspects you but they are a bit obvious when carrying one round at night and can get in the way if you need to run. so how do people discreatly carry round their big stencils at night? and how do people paint the backing colour for stencils? do you just guess and free hand paint then stencil over. i tend to stencil in the back colour then fill the gaps, then stencil over. what other ways have people got? especially like to know about the first bit peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gen Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 stenciling for fags....anyone know what material is best for makin a stencil... i'm starting to use manilla folders cos they're pretty tough but since they're paper they soak up paint so they'll go flimsy after 12-20 sprays non-stop... but if you let is soak and dry up... they'll last long. Acetate is a longlasting mother but it's about as thin as a normal piece of paper and you gotta be careful when you cut it and dont make some of the un-cut lines too thin... they tend to rip off if you're not careful also wit multilayer stencils, see if you can process the pic in photoshop and chuck on the "cutout" filter then add the "stamp" layer on it... fiddle aroud with the parameters till you get what you want... it's quicker than getting another program and processing the pic back and forth between two programs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arc crew Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 do you cut out the black areas in a stencil? and i have 2 cardboard stencils, dont use cardboard for detailed stencils. I learned from 2 detailed as hell stencils and 3+ hours wasted file folders are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelser Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 i make my stencils from random pictures in the net and i print them on ACETATE, i grab as much as i can from the art room in my school. this man speaks the truth that's all i ever do with stencils, acetate is the easiest shit to cut, infact i make mine in school cos they have really sharp scalpels in the art department too, which are the only way to cut. i dont do stencils anymore tho.

Gunm Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 So i wanted to drop a few pointers and show some stuff... First, here's the "Dream Girl". Old school heads will remember from the first hook ups skate decks... The yellow is some montana...how it got there...i dunno. She is still being perfected but so far, so good. The next is a first multi layer stencil 1. 2. 3. It came out pretty good but it's the trick figuring out how to make a bridge so the guy will have a mouth. most likely create a third layer for the mouth and make some additional detailing on the jacket. A few pointers..... 1. Manila folders work great for stencils because they are pliable, easy to cut with a sharp exacto blade and once you spray'em a few times, they get diesel quick so you don't have to worry so much about earing the stencil. 2. Avoid using gloss paints/montana/belton. These paints are all very rich and stickey, take forever to dry and can quickly dull/clog more detailed stencils. it doesn;t hurt to use these types of paints once or twice to make the stencil stronger but repeated use will KILL fine lines and small details. Yeah, that's about all the knowledge i have to drop for right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
