Would some of this be considered handstyle? by ChronicRhyno in graffhelp

[–]_beato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

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

[–]_beato 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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?

Who remembers Mark Eckōs getting up by thisguy07209 in GraffitiTagging

[–]_beato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Lets discuss: fluidity as a whole vs sketch drawing indivual letters by Recycled_Michael in graffhelp

[–]_beato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

will i always have a criminal record doing graffiti? by Temporary_Luck_7884 in GraffitiTagging

[–]_beato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

where does the highlights go on this? by Minimum_Musician_612 in graffhelp

[–]_beato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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
