    as for can control the only way your going to get it is to take some cans and PAINT!! just try to use not so cheap paint and do fast hand movements and have your can not to close tothe wall.

    One thing you can do that will really help you out with lines is practice doing certaint ones over and over again on something like large paper or cardboard. Soon you'll get better and better at controlling the lines so that their not as rough and stuff. Also just practice doing what you want. The more practice the better.

    -jurass finish first
    haha yeee explaining how to cut lines over the inter net is hard.

    -evokeone
    hahaha yeah how the fuck is writing evoke biting revok, diferent words, diferent meaning, similar letters---> HOWEVER theres already a Really dope writer that goes by evoke. so i suggest you change ur tag if you ever want to be taken seriously.

    -evokeone
    looks like you already know the basics of painting, like the the pointy parts of the outline inside your letters, it took me quite some time to figure out how thats done.haha. but yeah i think your good enough to know where you messed up and what can be cleaned up more. but i gotta say its looking nice.

    learn how to cut lines and clean up your piece, for example the hole at the top of your S how the black line goes through to far, go over the part sticking out with some of that baby blue and itll look nicer. (hard to explain) and im to tired of typing.

    practise is the #1 way to get straight lines
    and all the people saying "jst spray the can on to the wall in a straight line"
    its not that simple, one day when you actually paint youll find that out for yourselves.

    i like how most of the tips are false.

    you cant get clean lines with a stock. YOU CANNOTTTTT. and i dont care about how good you are. they have a fuzzy spray pattern, so you wont get a crisp edge.

    and people saying hold the can same angle blabla... fuck that.

    start moving your hand before u press the cap (eliminated drips from the stall at the start of the line) and keep on moving in the proper direction after u let go, this helps eliminate drips.

    try to 'see' the line on the wall before painting it, move your hand in the movement a few times before spraying (helps when you are still toy)


    to get extra fine lines, hold the can with the cap almost touching the wall, dont spray straight on, spray at an angle, it will make one side of the line very crisp and the other abit more fuzzy, but its great for making tiny lines...

    also... DO NOT PUSH THE CAP ALL THE WAY DOWN.... delicacy... push the cap a minimal amount to let less pressure through... this takes strong fingers so practice alot to tone your muscles

    Now im sure that youve been told to PRACTICE about 90 times already, But just to give you some actual advice that you can take part in right now, Stock caps are a bit harder to master then a ny thin cap. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE CHOICE, I liked german outlines, youn can just do millions of outlines until you figure out the movements you need to make to get those nice clean fresh lines. good luck.

    the only thing that u said that was right was "PRACTICE ALOT".

    theres nothing wrong with stock caps... thats all they had back in the day an they Still made clean cut lines...

    dont use cardboard or plywood.. jus go practice. is all the advice anyone is ever gonna need
