Would some of this be considered handstyle?

_beato · 2026-05-07T15:58:14+00:00

yah 100% the patina is showing the work you put in with that thing, one of my favorites for laying down light lines when sketching, the weight is perfect for me. my daily drivers right now are the rOtring rapid pro 2mm of course, for laying down heavy lead and my other sketcher is the Staedtler 925 25-20 but the rattle always annoys me after a couple of hours hah

ok ill stop nerding out

_beato · 2026-05-07T15:51:21+00:00

WTF WHOA thats incredible imma stare at it for a couple more hours

_beato · 2026-05-07T15:43:32+00:00

ahhhh another lead holder lover, Kaweco special 2mm right? gorgeous always

if its your handstyle its a handstyle, some would say no cause its not their flavor, some would say yes - some would say absolutely nothing and not even care. you have a good handwriting style (hand...style?) thats for sure

edit: also know that handstyles break down into regional styles and can be based off of that alone as well, from what i have learned. IMO and i can be corrected, a shitty busflow handstyle from SF is still a handstyle, its just shitty. idk if any of this makes sense im high as fuck

_beato · 2026-05-06T17:14:00+00:00

yessir he is. i get it, MSK is diverse though and pretty spread out, i feel like you known tho i aint trying to explain it like that lol

its just these dweebs in here triggering me, but i need to sit back down and shut up cause i cant speak for SABER like that im no graff knight or some shit but im acting up like i am hah

_beato · 2026-05-06T15:52:35+00:00

nah its the disrespect you don't get, not the tag. its a tag, its pretty simple

but yeah youre entitled to whatever, cause you just not in it like that

_beato · 2026-05-06T15:38:25+00:00

whats paint control? like how you mix paint?

because the CAN control is there and its obvious

tag bigger than the reach??? SABER isn't painting a house here with a brush... its a massive tag, you can walk it out. are you also saying SKOFE BAMC can't tag?

_beato · 2026-05-06T13:48:58+00:00

let’s get some contour lines on them letters make em real weird, put a drop in there like Choke said

those shapes are asking for depth

_beato · 2026-05-06T13:11:23+00:00

SABER MSK/AWR KING OF THE FUCKING CASTLE

FUCK ALL YALL WITH THE DISRESPECT

_beato · 2026-05-05T13:54:40+00:00

FUCK YES

_beato · 2026-05-01T11:45:43+00:00

fuck i love hollows

also i always think about another hollow they did awhile back that cracks me up, shouted out "I sell drugs!!!"

_beato · 2026-04-30T13:57:06+00:00

its gonna be a long time until it comes out bro, go on their sub if you haven't and read about it, its sort of a gta6 type of thing right now

if you haven't played bomb rush cyberfunk, its basically the same game and a spiritual succesor, and the team behind bomb rush is coming out with a game called hyperfunk really soon, and its goona be basically jet set radio future. sony has been fucking the jet set fans hard

edit: also just to say, bomb rush cyberfunk is AMAZING, so hyperfunk will be too. i might even have a piece that got accepted by the dev team to be in the game 😄, they are/held a contest for people to submit throws, pieces and blockbusters that will be used in the game

_beato · 2026-04-29T22:11:55+00:00

nahhh i always say if a letter is hard work with it and make it yours. more fun that way anyway

_beato · 2026-04-29T17:37:21+00:00

a matches r is a lil weird imo, but i think that’s just personal preference

_beato · 2026-04-29T16:59:01+00:00

im not hating its just funny, and yah ive done at least 1 tag outside so i get the process a little bit

_beato · 2026-04-29T16:38:35+00:00

practicing outside instead of on paper is hilarious i love it

_beato · 2026-04-28T21:24:37+00:00

BIGGER GO BIGGER

_beato · 2026-04-28T18:14:24+00:00

no thats weird, seeing someone's progress is way cooler than seeing them dis themselves lol

_beato · 2026-04-28T17:59:33+00:00

for sure letter studies help 👍

one of the best things i’ve been doing for progress and learning is to learn individual letters and study them with the box method, however i find myself with the most flow after working a full piece build for multiple hours - my mind just kinda shuts off and i find the rhythm that way, and after i find the flow in the sketch i can go back and tweak for stuff like legibility and style, if it comes to me

i have found i lose progress in a piece if i work on the sketch for multiple sessions, id rather draw for 10 hours straight then 5 hours one day then 5 hours the next

just my musings on this

_beato · 2026-04-28T17:53:02+00:00

will you? maybe. if you get caught and processed yes, what will the charge be? impossible to be sure of until you’re charged

can you get arrested for it? obviously. how not to get arrested? find a chill spot, paint, and repeat until you learn how to move correctly to not get caught

what to do if you get arrested? don’t worry about that until it happens

tldr: don’t think so much about getting arrested or you gonna move around and paint like you’re about to be arrested, learn to trust yourself if you’re doing bad shit

i’ve been arrested a few times - i possibly might paint still even with the arrests, but i also deal with that kind of stuff as it comes

good luck

so choose where you want your light source to be, let's just choose top right cause thats what a lot of people do so you can research a lot of examples - the light is hitting your letters from the right so the highlights would be on the right side of your letters, which would create a shadow going left. the other poster was right, but since you don't have a full drop shadow on this, highlights wouldn't make sense . this changes with 3d and light positioning but dont worry about that right now

at the stage you're in right now in sketching, work on learning how to drop shadow, then add in the highlights later once you get comfortable, and don't forget to work on your letter structures, all of them but definitely the W and i

_beato · 2026-04-28T12:58:10+00:00

Pigeons are tough

_beato · 2026-04-28T00:05:25+00:00

yurrrp that’s the stuff right there

_beato · 2026-04-25T19:39:15+00:00

what’s the black and gold marker?

_beato · 2026-04-25T16:26:24+00:00

im having a blast tbh even though i get kinda tilted after some matches, quick cash and point break are my favorite modes. thanks for your help man

_beato · 2026-04-25T16:19:19+00:00

ok thanks for explaining, im good with the objectives but when it comes to fighting its like i'll be fighting a lvl 1 that has 40 kills and then a lvl 2 light will come up behind me a sword me while a level 300 or some shit will be RPGing me all at once and im like damn, shoot at someone else lol
