hella tight, wanna trade stickers?

feelin your style. sick tosses too. :shock:

the gold burner quality!

thanks dude, anyone feelin some battles in this thread?

lol see now your getting to shit i know about around here!

broken down into 3 parts ( handstyle, throwie, piece) its hard to just battle.

you need different threads and rules so it runs on its own like the stylathon stuff here.

well i doubt theres enough writers on here to keep 3 threads active n shit, stylathons dont even run smoothly on this forum haha,

Ture besides, if you got a battle bug there is a lot of other forums to hit up.

^^Cool any suggestions

true but we should still do some chilled fuck around shit on here, has a chilled vibe, nobody callin you a toy

Okay, these were my first two. I know they aren't good, so please give some tips

Graffiti is alot like fb'ing only it takes a lot longer to get good, and even good is always up to a personal preference.

if i were to give you advice i would say get a clean looking handstyle (aka "tag")

then progress to throwies and straights (mostly bubble lettering, simple color combos, designed for quick execution).

DO NOT try to go all crazy with arrows and letter extensions until you have a firm grasp on simples.

what i mean by simples is just that, block letters, try to make them perfect without a ruler. pay attention to line thckness, letter size, try to get everything uniform.

then, you can experiment with flexing your letters, bending them,extending parts longer then others, ect..

style will come with time but your on the right track starting simple.

make your lines cleaner, the "scratch" sketch effect you have chosen makes it look worse then it is. also, your thinkness and the hight of your letters is all out of wack.

get some good bars going. below are some examples of progression with add ons style. sketch your letters out in pencil then "ink" it.

its like simples are to Graff as the ollie is to skateboarding. foundation.

just mess around and do your own thing and you will get there

^^ cool

yea like bants said keep it simple, the biggest mistake you can make is tryin to do all the crazy complicated shit straight away.
also check out other peoples stuff and take inspiration from it, but dont straight up copy it. And stay away from that graffiti creator site

Not bad man keep it up

yea not bad i see some dope graff when i visit spain

Just got back from spain and they have the sickest styles! I really should get back into graff sometime haha..... Did anyone else watch that thing about banksy and robbo a few weeks ago? I've got no respect for banksy anymore lol

yea i did, i didnt like him anyway, graff wise i dont like stencils, well i dont dislike them but its a completely different thing to the traditional new york 80s influenced shit. Im purely about letters and styles

3rd attempt ever. Im pleased.
