This video is mainly about yard etiquette and most doesn’t apply to street graffiti. I did a post talking about how we didn’t used to buff our spots at yards much in the 90s. We just rocked on top of other graffiti.

We had some guidelines in place so we were mostly operating on the same understanding. If the spot we chose has a bunch of tags, a pieced that was dissed, partially covered up, it was fair game to paint there.

Some comments mentioned how it was disrespectful to leave someone’s shit hanging out. While that’s true leaving someone’s clean piece hanging out from behind yours, most people didn’t care if part of their throwie or tags were showing from behind your piece.

It was just how we operated. Some people will always get pissed not matter what you do, but this was the understanding we had back then.

Sketches are in order of most to least recent.

I’m focusing on making a throw of the initials of my name first so I can hit up smaller spots around my town (there are plenty of smaller surfaces here that wouldn’t fit more than 2-3 letters).
I got some ideas as you can see but I’m not 100% satisfied with any of them. The second image shows some throwies I like a little more than the rest, but I feel like they are too blocky to be considered a throw in the first place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as feedback on the drawings!

Now that I look at it I can see many mistakes, the root probably beeing the lack of experience combined with the size. This is about 3m by 1.8m

Ravencroft Studios is an indie small team studio looking for advice on including in game graffiti. The world we’re building is important to us and we want to get this right.

Some early discussion was had around taking photos of graffiti to use but we decided this seemed sleazy and wanted to take a different approach.

Should we solicit for artists who want to have their work included in a game with credit to the artists? Should we select our most artistic individuals and have them start the process of learning the basics? We wanted to include the actual members of graffiti communities in these discussions as a sign of respect for the artistry. Please let us know your thoughts.

Ive since dealt with the fucked up meanline on the A, just trying to develop some style

Any ideas on how I can improve my character and throw up please Do critique art I want to know if it’s bad or good and if there’s any advice or anything I can improve or even add new to it thanks guys!!!

Example image provided but really any electric paint sprayer experience is appreciated.

I'm thinking of getting a cordless one and leaning on that instead of spray paint cans.

Stealth and ability to leave it behind in a pinch aside, do we think this would work?

I want to try it myself but the good ones might be pricey so I want to ask around first.

Just did this piece i fell like something is wrong with the s, what could i i do differently with the n, and any feedback or tips is much appreciated🫡

tryna make my first tag. Thoughts/criticisms/suggestions?

RARISH is what I'm thinking ab going with. Any thoughts on coming up with a name or alter ego also much appreciated

Strength, weaknesses, which ones stand out? Thanks y'all

First try, harder than I thought...

It looks like there was a stencil layer sprayed that got peeled off.

Any tips?

for the more experienced folk, what caps are you using for your fills and outlines, and does anyone have tips on improving efficiency on paint usage?

loop is $7/can where i am, which is the most affordable & best color selection outside of shitty liquidation store cans (im no longer down to rack at this age).

ive been practicing at chill spots using free random cans of white paint from facebook marketplace to reset my canvas. also dont judge my color selection in the 2nd pic i was using whatever i had & i'm gonna come back to completely paint over it lmao😭

CAN CONTROL IS HARD. i know it gets easier with time and repetition just how my drawing has progressed, but holy fuck its EXPENSIVE 🗿 every time i expel paint i envision -3¢ -5¢ -2¢ effects over and over until im out, and a decent sized piece takes at least 3 cans if you're staying basic😭. even scaling a sketch to the wall has been hard for me as my proportions aren't consistent... ive accepted this transition phase is gonna suck for a bit lmao.

anyway thanks for reading my vent & any tips/hacks are mucho appreciated 🫡🫡

Any critique welcome! I've been practicing these letters lately. I prefer the top one—the 'S' and 'E' in the bottom one aren't really doing it for me. Any advice is welcome!
