    -----------------------------------------
    Today we teach an introduction to basic letter and name positioning in graffiti pieces and tags. When referring to the basics this topic is certainly one of the most simple fundamentals of graffiti with a low learning curve but when you get better at the fundamentals this one becomes tons more in-depth. In this video, I teach you guys how to use letter and name positioning in your graffiti to not only aid letter and name weight but also to help flow. Flow is this topic's biggest use when keeping it simple so we focus on that till we get to the more advanced video for graffiti tutorials.

    Another one! Heck yeah! I´m loving the tutorials homie! It would be awesome if you make a graffiti challenge or something like that, in which the theme would have to focus just on one of the fundamentals, of course taking care of the other ones, but making a big focus just in one

I mostly just draw my black book been along time since I painted I fell out of graffiti for a while and now I’ve just had an interesting it again always had an interest but fell into some other shit like drinking a lot...Basically wanted to order some markers and colored pencils which I have some of each in Prismacolor but not in very much variety.

    What's the best way of learning momentum flow/get out of artist's block? I'm pretty much stuck in a corner, and I'm used to doing pieces with similarity flow only. I feel like I've done pretty much the same piece for almost an year now.

    • @Theartistblock
      @Theartistblock  Před 4 lety +2

      letter uniformity is also really great for flow, i highly recommend that too but that doesnt answer your question so to answer your question, momentum flow is much much harder to work into your letters, dont be upset if you fail as you practice but lets say line uniformity is positioning two lines that are similar side by side then for mentum flow you'd take these two lines and position one at the end of the other. now you just need these lines to sweep across and that should be a decent start

      i think i have a crazy old video about shading forms and that's how you shade anything ever no matter what it is. if i dont have a video like that then i certainly have one on the way but honestly you're better off looking up and practicing how to draw forms and shade them instead of looking up anything graffiti related for that

    • @Theartistblock

      that sounds like a letter structure and letter uniformity issue. Stick with basic print for now, and focus on doing the cleanest most neat print font piece you can do so you can work on structure. Till then hit me up on instagram and ill do my best to contact you back or stop by my stream today 7pm est and id be glad to help you there

      Just keep all the letters the same spacing in piecing form as you would in print font form. Dont make it harder for yourself till you can get used to it and work up to it.
