k if this is really your passion then first

learn to tag the whole alphabet in 3 different styles

find a comfortable way to draw up any letter

never do the same piece/colors twice (always try something new because thats how u learn what looks good)

master your throwies and be able to do them in less than 2 minutes



BOOM on the road to success

I've been writing the alphabet constantly and I tend to just twist off a general idea everytime I write it. I'm now finding a way to each letter thats comfortable but still need some work on others.

I have two throwie ideas so far that could be done fairly quickly in my mind. Still working on some.

Does letter size matter on tags or does that just apply to throwies. I think having different size letters would look sick.

All the letters in your tag dont have to be the same size, just dont go around hitting humungous tags everywhere unless your really good with the philly hand style. It always frustrates me to see big ass tags that dont even look good. I have 5 letters in my tag and i like the 1st letter smaller then the 2nd and the 2nd smaller then the 3rd, having the 3rd the biggest one with the 4th the same size as the 2nd and the 5th the same size as the 1st if that helps at all

floor to ceiling is like 8-9 feet which I can do with a normal cap. It's not hard to stand on your toes.

literally doing some of the most basic stuff out there, but i started last week and havent had much practice. Mostly been throwing up OFWGKTA tags places, not any original OFWGKTA tagl, but i thought i would throw these up that i did in school just to contribute.

Trying to decide on a name still? Do what Speck has been telling me, write the alphabet over and over and see what letters feel comfortable for you. Then work from there.

Don't be so uptight with your letters. The goal is to have them correlate with each other in a smooth fashion.

Much thanks dude. If you're serious about it, just keep working at it. Your throwie is a little generic and your H looks like a backwards N. Add some flavor to it. But I wouldn't take too much advice from me. I'm still a huge toy. I'm working on some tags for you and Tusk. I'll post em in a little.

Yeah art's never really been my thing. Graff is just something im looking into as a hobby and a way to get a little creative. Who knows it may become my passion that's just not my plan.

your getting better already! im not loving the piece but im loving the fact that your really into graffiti and thats all that matters, keep at it dude and keep trying different styles. look up "PERSUE" try some letters like his and post up some more, and if you want im down to draw up some more throwies/pieces/tags for you because the best way to learn is to observe other peoples style

Thanks man! I'm for real about this. I just hit the jackpot today, too. My friend is hooking me up with free paint cans tomorrow from his work. Like nine cans or so. I'm planning on putting up another throwie somewhere with it.

And Persue's shit is so good - I've seen it before. Dude is wayyyyyy out of my league. If you want to mess around with my tag, go for it. I'm trying out those other two guys' tags, messing with the letters and stuff.

lucky bastard i cant even afford cans right now!!!

and as for persue, all im saying is try to figure out the key accents in graffiti that you like to use and try to develop a more complicated style. once youve done this going back to simple letters will be easy as sweaty butter and your style overall will improve a lot.

and ill definitely draw you up a more complicated "ACEK" tomorrow, ive got lots of time at school so ill mess around a bit.

im off to blaze and hit the hay, KEEP AT IT ACEK i like how you actually care about improving.
one thing though is i would wait at least a year or so to start spraying in the city, just work in your backyard for a bit and gain style through your blackbook. You always think your at your best and then you look back in a year and realize that you used to suck. ive been doing this for the last 4 years hahahaha its rewarding though

peace

One way to help is to draw with your thumb on top of the pen/ marker. Sure it will feel weird but it will help with actual can control. You won't be able to move your wrist as much (also try to avoid moving your wrist as it will seem more like drawing than painting) it will help you transfer over.

I know, but he could say he will get her in big trouble for property damage or some bullshit excuse and she would believe it, or say you make murals for a living and you had to use those for your job.

Meh his fault for getting caught. It's called common sense. If you have it sure there are times you still might get chased but it's not hard to out run a cop if you are in shape they aren't going to full out chase you for over 10 minutes since it's only graffiti.
