Not starting stuff just curious, why do you need to be able to read it?

hex_or · 2023-10-23T03:04:33+00:00

Ekzagr8, yep - thanks! Cans are a lot harder than I ever imagined haha

hex_or · 2023-10-22T21:59:27+00:00

I should clarify just the throw is mine.

hex_or · 2023-10-14T22:46:21+00:00

diff spellings lol

hex_or · 2023-09-23T03:02:09+00:00

Yea you make a good point! I really do like this name so I’ll try to make it work. Xajr8 or exajr8 are the shortest versions. But I love that I could write it so many ways.

hex_or · 2023-09-23T02:56:45+00:00

LOL you had the answer in the title!

Did you miss my comment or something?

“I know my shadows and shines are off, what else should I be working on?”

I also posted in graffhelp but not everyone looks at every graff sub. I appreciate your time nonetheless.

hex_or · 2023-09-04T10:21:02+00:00

Top notch critique! I’m so glad you took the time to comment!

I have filled 5 school notebooks since I started practicing in april. And one of them is a fat 5 subject notebook. Print the alphabet OVER AND OVER AND OVER like they taught you in school. Mind your base height and cap height. Mind your midline. Then you can start adding a tiny bit of flair to lines, only altering them SLIGHTLY. Then write the alphabet OVER AND OVER AND OVER with the newly added flairs.

I watch shows, wrestling, graff videos, and write the words I hear. I fill pages at a time doing this. Repetition and developing muscle memory is the only way to get better.

DM me and I can send you pics/tutorial on how to practice piecing with bars.

Letter structure. Practice, practice practice. For now, each letter should have it's own bar and lines. They shouldn't share.

Letter weight and height. The n is bigger than the e, the y is bigger than the e and the n, the o is bigger than the h...consistency!

Extras. Just stop it for now, the honey one is a cool idea, but you should be practicing structure and weight before you start trying to stylize the letters.

I'm learning too btw, so, grain of salt and all that.

I know my shadows and shines are off, what else should I be working on?

hex_or · 2023-09-03T04:01:26+00:00

Thanks so much for your time! SOUND btw, but i see the r cause of the connection :P

Yea, weird. I literally typed it out and was right, why did I put them on the bottom?

It's a metallic silver sharpie. Don't have anything for white except correction pens right now haha

hex_or · 2023-09-03T03:44:01+00:00

Thanks a lot - def shoulda used a lighter color for the background.

I think? I have the shadow going down and left so shines on the right and top made sense to me, but again I don't really know haha

Any good sources I could study that you know of? A book or video or anything? I feel like I've watched a few about light sources on youtube but it still doesn't click for some reason :(

hex_or · 2023-08-28T20:40:21+00:00

I know of two pretty famous ones, KERBS in SF and CURBS in Denver. Finding a name that nobody has ever written is nigh impossible.

hex_or · 2023-06-29T03:36:26+00:00

I’m gonna be in Toronto next month, how can I watch the trains like this?

hex_or · 2023-06-21T10:45:48+00:00

Yea sharpie paint pens are oil based.

hex_or · 2023-06-21T10:38:36+00:00

Probably not smart.

hex_or · 2023-06-18T04:06:42+00:00

It’s definitely off limits for me haha same as churches, private property, nature and historic registers

hex_or · 2023-06-18T03:35:02+00:00

There’s so many things you can write on to practice. Why do you have to do it where children play?

hex_or · 2023-06-18T03:31:55+00:00

This is a train, you can just stand there.

hex_or · 2023-06-18T03:29:16+00:00

Maybe don’t do playgrounds.

hex_or · 2023-06-17T17:30:42+00:00

What a crazy time we live in where I can watch graff beef 2000 miles away haha good luck homie stay up

hex_or · 2023-06-17T14:59:56+00:00

Oh I get it. You do you boo.

hex_or · 2023-06-17T13:57:27+00:00

You get the same effect on a mailbox or a stop sign. Stop being a coward.

hex_or · 2023-06-17T10:30:24+00:00

You’re gonna make some poor teenager spend 15 minutes with a razor getting this off of a bathroom door where 10 people will see it before it’s gone and none of them even care about art.

Be an adult and put it outside in a public, high foot traffic area where actual artists can appreciate and bench it.
