Hello. i struggle so much with sketching. I have no motivation and the sketch turns out soo bad bcs of that i also started painting on walls and i need help the paint is dripping so much. I tried everything. To be more far away, faster movement etc but nothing helps. Help would be much appriciated
What paint are you using? Usually holding the can back and fast lines work. Also was the surface wet?
Your sketches turn out so bad because you don't know the fundamentals of graffiti. That's like a newborn trying to run a marathon as soon as he pops out the cooch. Stop trying to do wildstyles and focus on learning how letters are built. What makes them work together, what is "flow", color schemes, etc. Don't try to draw another piece for 5 months. Just learn letter structure, practice tags and throwups, straight letters then try again when you have more understanding about what makes graffiti graffiti. If you're having problems with drips shake that can for at least 1 minute before painting and use a different cap. If you press down fully on the cap, more paint comes out making drips easier when you are close than if you have your finger on the back of the cap, pressing lightly.
to reply to all messages. first i use cheap paint, non graffiti made bcs they dont havethem in my country. I use the stock cap, because we dont have caps either in my country. Third, im not trying wildstyles, just normal letters but i dont have inspiration to start with different details. Thanks for commenting
Yeah if it's like dollar can paint drips are hard to avoid. Try a Home Depot or a hardware store if they have in your country. But all I can say is change the cap (take caps off of other spray cans, they don't have to be paint cans) and shake the shit out of that can before you paint. If you don't have inspiration to make different details in the letters that's fine. There's nothing you can make that hasn't been made already when it comes to graffiti. You aren't supposed to make new different details every time. Focus more on the reality that you are putting effort into drawing. There is an energy being transferred from you to paper/wall. Painting for you is the physical expression of some urge. Focus on that and I think you'll find it easier to have inspiration to draw, paint, whatever.
try pressing down lightly on the cap when you paint. It will let out less paint, which means less drips
thanks, i do buy my cans in hardware stores, lol. There are pretty much 3 different brands of them. One is happy color and the other 2 i dont remember lol.
