your not daim, you can barely draw those letters let alone draw them 3d, thats a gimmick, that 3d is a gimmick, graffiti isnt gimmicks its letters, like drawing them 3d like that is a waste of your time. draw real graffiti

At least be bothered to read this

 

The easiest way to explain graffiti to you, is to compare it to skateboarding. Because from my knowledge alot of graffiti writers skateboard, and if you dont theres at least some chance you'll be able to understand the correlation.

 

in skateboarding you have the ollie, if you cant ollie you cant kickflip or heelflip, and if you cant kickflip or heelflip, you cant progress on to more advanced flip tricks. if you couldnt ollie you couldnt get up curbs very well or onto ledges to do slides and grinds. In skateboarding the better you get at simple tricks, the better youll be at more advanced tricks. I'm pretty sure most people in there first couple months of skateboarding dont try to do handrails down stairs, let alone flip trick into the rail flip trick out. Im pretty sure most of you wouldnt even try it, it would look really bad and youd hurt yourself. The only reason you try to to do the equivalent in graffiti, is because it doesnt physically hurt you to do so, but it looks just as bad.

 

In graffiti, you start off with tags, they are the starting point, they teach you how letters are shaped. The better your tags the better the rest of your graffiti will be. Next come throw up's, the throw ups get you used to drawing letters that arent like handwriting, but are drawn out. Also by doing throwups and tags with paint, you will get can control the more you do them. Alot of the effects that you see people do with paint, are things you just sort of pick up the more you write, and the more you write the better youll be with paint. After youve gotten good at throwups and tags, you should start doing simple simple simple simple pieces, they should be more like throws with straighter letters, and then you should start doing straight straight letters, then once your good at those you can start varying them into not so straight letters. And keep on going with that for a while, and then you can start doing more and more complex pieces. can you see the similarity?

 

Just call them pieces, wildstyle is a very archaic and antiquated term unless your reffering to the 80s and before. Each one of these stages of style can last for a long time. Your never going to stop working on any of these areas, if you stop getting better at tags, youll stop getting better at pieces, its like the cogs in clockwork.

 

Just get sheets and sheets of paper, don’t evne bother wasting black book space for this, do the same styles 1000s of times, over and over and over. Once you have a good tag and throwup you can actually start getting up and getting respect, some people only have a good tag and a throwup, and that’s all they need.

 

Legal piecing and productions is something left for writers who have been in the game for hella, have put in hella street cred (usually), and have elevated to the point where they can do those things.

 

You wont be there for years. I started writing when I was in 5th grade and I’m 20 now, and these are things I really didn’t start realizing till I was 14, and didn’t actually “get� the idea till I was 16. I don’t think theres any experienced writer out there that would disagree with anything im saying, other than that im prolly wasting my time telling you, cause I guarantee you wont listen. Graffiti takes years.

 

I made some examples of how the progress should look, remember used this loosely except for the vogue straight letter as your first piece, that’s exactly what people mean by simple, in almost every country in the world. Compare these examples to there corresponding styles in your area this isn’t the style guide this is just the basic evolution guide.

 

I just thought I would illustrate it for you guys. These aren’t my flicks, obviously, I just linked them hella quick. To show the progress better.
