c-walk Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Need Advice pointers on doing better graff.... i know i am seen as a toy but every one starts out that way and only time will get me better and learning from others.... why not... do simples, look at a helvetica type face and draw those letter. honestly go into the "toys post here" thread, you'll get some decent internet advice that i dont feel like typing out.

tupac Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 this thread has been lame and is getting lamer everyone just talks shit or says dumb shit. I dont know why everyone in ohio hates on each other so much. if you got a problem handle it and move on, graffiti beef is so retarded any way and pointless that i couldnt care less. i care more about my socks matching than any " graff writers " yelling ( typing ) to each other than going over each other . I like other crews shit regaurdless if people in my crew have beef with them. props are due when people deserve them period. its not my problem so dont get involved, its on those individuals to handle. Its different when two people that write have problems with each other ,off this graff bullshit , but i know alot of people would rather hear about it getting resolved than constantly telling each how bad their peices are or you dont get up and how their gonna kill each other and cross out each other and wine and bitch and moan! SHUT UP! im sick of just seeing blobs of paint on the wall because you keep goin over and over the same spots. ruining the graff scene. ENDER AND HEKS BEEF HAS BEEN GOING FOR LIKE A YEAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED EXCEPT FOR SPOTS BEING TOOK OVER AND OVER, IM NOT TRYING TO INSTIGATE THIS ANYMORE, BUT IF EITHER OF YOU WANTED TO FIGHT IM SURE YOU COULD FIND EACH OTHER IF YOU REALLY WNATED TO THAT BAD. I want to see this finished, fight one on one no one else jumps in, who ever wins, wins. drop everything else, if you still want to hate each other and each others crews find by me i think its time this was over with FUCKIN BUTT HOLES!

c-walk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 why bring it up again dude? anyways, valuehorse has a good point... look at logos kiloz, make sure all your letters are the same size and structured the same and make them as simple as possible. it'll give you a good idea of how letters are formed and then you can go ahead and add all your little connections and arrows or whatever. learn the basics then move on.

bub-ole Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 you all just need to chill the fuck out and get together and get down. all this bitchin is just going to ruin your fuckin city with nasty lookin pieces that have been gone over 100 times in 24 hours. i mean if you think about it why dont you get together crush the city together and then see how long your shit rides.what it comes down to is hek goes for quantity but then again you have ender that goes for quantity and quality.i dont know im not taking anyones side im just saying that if you guys get down together shit can go down big. peace.

mind@ease Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I really dont see why everyone trips over the beef itself whats wrong with a little competitiveness? I think we should just keep the beef on the walls not the internet, if shit escalates to violence, let it. but all the shit talk is unnecessary tho.... im not takin part in that no more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Kiloz, The biggest thing is to remember structure with your letters, simple or complex. Too many people make the mistake of Trying too hard to get all "wildstyle" at first and forget the basics. But... Once you get the basics, make sure you progress...don't fall into a rut. Like these guys are saying, work on simples at first. The trick is to make sure all the lines follow each other and have a flow like this: Here's how NOT to do up a simple letter: Notice how all the lines sort of play off of each other? Each letter interlocks and works with the next but they stand alone balanced as well. Feel free to hate on me for helping the kid out.

c-walk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 bonjangles, what in gods name did you use to create those letters... it looks computer based and way too structured for any program i have (ie: photoshop ect ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Did it in photoshop (and very quickly I might add) Line tool>Separate layers>Merge layers; minus background>Fill in letters> Here's the 3d trick... Your merged layers of graffiti (we'll call Layer 1) and the background is all that should be left. Click on Layer 1 in the layers window. Use your select tool and hold down ALT as you repeatedly click the arrow(s) key in the direction you want the 3d to go. Afterwards, merge all layers again except the background layer. Work on that as you please and Save. I love how I always end up getting called Bonjangles instead of Bojangles. I'm not a Frenchie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-walk Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 oh shit, my typing skills are not the greatest, and whatever look how close the fucking j and n are? but word i didnt think about the line tool i was thinking illustrator and using the pen tool to make curves...

Bojangles Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You can do that too and get way nicer results. Here's another (and the last one, I promise). With Illustrator, you can get way nicer curved lines plus its a vector image so even if you enlarge it or zoom in, it keeps its resolution. Did this "Ohio" in about 10 minutes or less while sitting here drunk. There's great illustrator and photoshop threads in the Untitled section of this site, you should check it out *there's obviously lots more I could have done to spruce this up, such as color/effects in the 3d, highlights, etc. But that info should help you get started.
