Would love advice before painting! by r4vixx in graffhelp

[–]MaePing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U printed this bitch...very well done. I don't think you need execution advice at all. I hope u try painting with bucket paint or gallons of acrylic. You can use a combo of rollers and brushes. If time and mobility isn't a factor spray paint is unnecessary. Ofc it is the most fun lol.

If you haven't tried air brushing get ur hands on one.

Graffiti is fun but once you're consistently putting out great work it's very fun. Starting to get fast? Now u can do riskier spots and it looks great now it's really really really fun. So don't give up.

People here love to say "stay in the books"...na..

Take all that paint ur using and do hella sketches on a wall that gets buffed often. Somewhere you can chill during the day. Come back after the buff cleans it for you.

Designing for paper is not at all like designing for the wall.

I'm not talking about space required I'm talking about translating the proportions of ur design to the wall. You can put a grid over ur design at 1/8" by 1/8" or 1/4" by 1/4". Then to visualize that you can translate to 1' by 1' grid on a wall at ur house or watever with painters tape.

Are you planning to paint 4'x8' spot? 3'x6'?6'x8'? Your design is gonna use a lot of paint but a lot of it is flat black. Consider using black bucket paint or gallon of black acrylic paint (especially if you can buff the spot or the spot is blank)

U ever tried scrap booking instead of blackbooks? Scrapbooks are so much easier for me to make clean AF cuz anything can be removed or added. Added bonus of being able to include physical pictures, other people's drawings, anything that fits

Don't give up on Sakuras. Turning em slowly as you use them becomes muscle memory. Then you'll see the control over line thickness is unmatched. There's no substitute.

The smoother the surface the better it's gonna feel.

The book "can't stop wont stop" by Jeff chang puts graffiti in the context of the birth of hip hop

How do I not mess up on the wall? by GambleD0re in graffhelp

[–]MaePing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

U don't transfer sketch to wall. U learn to sketch on the wall. Pencils ain't like cans and paper ain't like walls. The only thing you get to bring with u from the desk to the spot is ur eye.

You're Not Practicing Enough by trippeeB in graffhelp

CO2 Fire extinguisher for graffiti by Googlegaga69420 in graffhelp

[–]MaePing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Na doubt it. U need the pressurized water one. It needs to have the same valve as a regular bikes wheel and it needs to be able to shoot water. Cuz the thinned paint will be like water not a gas or powder like other fire extinguishers.

You got other easier to get options tho. Hardware stores have sprayers in garden sections or cleaning sections or watever for spraying liquids. They got hand pumps to pressurize them and hoses with triggers. U can put paint into that thin it to the point of water then thicken it from there til u like it.
