just reread that and realized u were directin it at me.

no doubt i can use more basic letter structure - by no means am i anywhere near satisfied with my style. If you think i came off as if im better than all the rest then you got it twisted. i came back to try and put a positive impact on where this forum has left off period.

some more useful pics i found on da bombingscience

[Gone84]

dude are you going to make this place into one big link for bombing science or what??? people know where it is, and the stuff you posted is nice. but if you like it better there then spend your time there. or spend time here or whatever, but bringing all thei rcrap over here kind of takes away from things. This is bboy.org, not bombing science

[Ninja_Bboy[IUC]]

No I'm not gonna make this one big link for them, I am just pasting up what I think is quality information for beginners. Your reply is funny to me seeing as you spend so much time telling newbs the same things. If there was a thread on here with a couple of good tutorials then you wouldn't need to tell every single e-toy on here what pens to use, which paint, and why you should start simple.

Anyway if there's anything I've put up that you don't approve of feel free to delete/mod/whatever.

[Gone84]

i already said that what you post is good. however, people will find their way to bombingscience if they so desire. if bboy.org were to become as unforgiving as those other sites, it would make me look like mother teresa. I am not sure thats what people want.

Besides, there are numerous threads that have lots of good tutorials in here. Maybe you should just read more.

[Ninja_Bboy[IUC]]

I think we're making a big deal over nothing here. People post things all the time from lounge37 and 12ozprophet. Its all the online graff community to me

We have good tutorials all of which I've read but the more info the better.This stuff is free on the internet uncopywrighted and a lot of it is useful to beginners (ie the majority of ppl on these boards).

What's a milk crate?

[Zodiak Stizo]

is there a thread on airbrush and spray materials, and type of caps you would want or need to use, becuase I did not see one. I would have imagined it would be stickied,...of course only promoting spray painting legal walls and old trains. In D.C. there is actually a shop downtown, that has many big walls, some of which have graff, and others just straight art, but everything is spraypainted though....with some paint for details in some works.

Ultimate Graffiti Buyer's Guide

i know your guys problem. your toys your jocking off of bombing science, to get "good" at graffiti just draw draw draw. and paint paint paint because no matter how good you are at at rawing you still need can control. it takes time just like bboying, use your imagination and dont jock off other peoples styles.

"I'm going to give you all some advice.
firstly. Everybody needs to sketch more.. and what a better time to sketch than the winter.

This is what you will need... 1. 1-2 bricks of white printer paper 8.5 x 11.. you will need to buy more by the time your finished.
2. a pencil and black markers.. preferable sharpies.. also black bic pens work great.
3. an empty milk crate.

Now what you have to do over the winter is fill the milk crate with paper.. don't crumple it up.. stack each peice on top of the other.
until it's full.. it will be extremely heavy.

Start of you sketch with light pencil lines to get the general shape of your letters..
It helps if you try and balance the letters so they are all roughly the same size and thickness. However do what you do.

You should burn through 10-20 peice of paper everytime you sit down. work on ideas until you find one you like and then spend some time on it..

There should be at least one out of ten that shows some promise.

another good tip however is that if your start a letter peice.. you must finish it.. even if it sucks..
You don't want to have pages of half done peices..

By not abandoning your work you'll learn techniques you can use to save a peice.. even make a sorta wonky lookin peice look awesome.

Also loose the color for now.. Maybe color your very favorite out of 10 or 20.. color is not as important as stucture.
Stucture and legiablity are all that matter in the beginning. It's like a house.. who cares what fucking color you put on the walls if the walls fall down and kill you.

Alot of you might try this.. maybe you'll start doing it and get board with your milk crate and go back to playing video games and talking shit on the internet.
This is a hard test of your resolve. It's like letter boot camp. If you get through it, if you put all of your creative energy into whatever you are creating on each page.. If you learn about your letters then you will be able to work with them.. Alot of you who attempt this will not follow through. alot of you will give up

But the people who fill up that milkcrate will have a milkcrate full on ammunition when they get to the wall.. These people will stand out. there work will kick ass and they will burn all of you. They in essense will have developed a super power.. from a box of paper.

I would suggest starting at the same time.. get some people together.. and get started.. you can post your best work online and give each other tips.
Post only your best work.. most of what I have seen on this thread should end up in the milk crate..

When your all done, you can burn your milkcrate full of junky letters, you can recycle it.. you can keep it if you want.. but that is alot of weight to carry for your whole life and by the time you finish all of those letters will be trapped in your subconcious.

You have alot of trees to kill before you become a master of letters.. I suggest you all get started. "

This is retarded as hell, you dont have to fill a milk crate full of paper. god i feel sick to my stomach when people are so toy. pick up a blackbook from your nieghborhood art store and some prisma markers, or rack some paint go to a yard or wash secluded from police and go nuts.

[Ninja_Bboy[IUC]]

ah. so you are here to give your advice while never showing your level? sorry man when someone gives advice i believe they should also show that they have the skills to back them up (and show them if possible)
