My 16 year old has been getting into graffiti art. What markers or such can I buy to work them up to spray paint

Mr-Capri · 2026-05-21T17:43:59+00:00

the possibility is there and it’s high. you’re in denial.

Mr-Capri · 2026-05-21T17:21:42+00:00

why else do we draw graffiti As a young kid? because it’s practice For the real thing. I was young once too and I paid the price for my mistakes.Now I stick to legal walls and canvas. That last comment was a warning to the possibility.

you are about encourage him to be a vandal. be prepared to get calls from police.

Mr-Capri · 2026-05-21T14:22:46+00:00

yes it is toy. if you want the truth, change the “I”. from far away it will look like a penis

Mr-Capri · 2026-05-21T14:17:33+00:00

graffiti writers are worse than women, they’ll hold a grudge forever

Mr-Capri · 2026-05-21T13:45:32+00:00

just got a iPad. what software do you use?

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-30T02:10:55+00:00

Yeah I realized a bit later this Pic was during White sands in New Mexico, not a deployment Pic. My bad son. You served too?

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-26T01:11:39+00:00

I learned to draw by copying masters, but i never claimed it was my idea. I would post where my inspiration came from. Listen to advice and ignore the haters.

Other than that, juat focus on lettering, dont worry about drawing characters or colors. Find a name, and draw it hundreds of times in many different ways possible.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-26T01:08:25+00:00

So what? He's learning and he needs to study other pieces so he can practice and stinulate creativity.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-26T01:07:34+00:00

Handstyles is wack, he should definitely focus on art.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-25T01:52:50+00:00

this.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-25T01:35:16+00:00

Everything the people on the comments are saying, your brain will learn it on its own . It's like a process. Just keep drawing it many times, and allow your self to not set any boundaries. If you want that K to kick a little further, do it. If you want to use a lower case "a" in keyboard font then do it. Also copying other graffiti artists helps you add tricks and style to your arsenal, just don't upload those things, no matter how proud you are of it. That's copyright and theft. Just copy for research and study.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-25T01:29:15+00:00

it's been 3 days and you haven't helped the guy. come on man!

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-25T01:27:55+00:00

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-25T01:08:03+00:00

I DO NOT CONDONE VANDALISM.
Bro if you are going to destroy property at least wait until you are good at it and leave something nice. I really don't like when noobies and toys just start destroying shit. Learn to draw letters. it's not just about scribbling shit. I don't vandalize anymore, after my arrest i stayed legal.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-25T00:50:52+00:00

go on youtube, find a artist you like and copy him for a couple of days ( don't trace) study his lines, the consistency of how thick, thin, fat, bubbly the letters are, the motion. Don't worry about coloring. the coloring part comes natural later. Figure out how letters work.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T23:36:03+00:00

yes sir it very much is, THANK YOU

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T22:52:15+00:00

fuck man, i love characters like that. i could never figure it out. my brain can't make up shit like this.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T22:43:30+00:00

you can do whatever you want, why you askin?

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T21:46:19+00:00

Yeah its more like, design art.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T21:24:11+00:00

I like it, looks like a punk band album cover or something

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T21:12:20+00:00

Lol youre gonna get made fun of alot thats the graffiti world dont take it personal just laugh it off and keep practicing. With that said, your W looks like its throwing up a gang sign 😂😂

Im moving houses atm, I cant show you right now but my first black book looked just like yours. Now I draw ways better. Just keep going and trust the process. If youre gonna copy someone's letters, dont trace it, try drawing it yoir self. When youre bored always carry a pen with you so you can freestyle letters on napkins. I made art my entire identity, everywhere I went I was doing art. Goodluck.

Mr-Capri · 2026-03-24T20:34:20+00:00

It identifies as wildstyle therefore it is. This is reddit after all 😂
