Imo the most interesting video of this series. A lot of new stuff I didn't know until now. And you finally got texted again haha lol

This channel’s quality. UNMATCHED

Uploads are CRAZY. Loving all these videos. Helping out quite a bit.

I've been loving your videos. I am learning so much about art and graffiti through them. I've admired graffiti my whole life having grown up in a big city, but learning the concepts behind it is elevating that appreciation so much further. I've been keeping a graffiti sketchbook and practicing regularly now. I don't see myself going out and doing it given my day job, but I'm having fun sketching and practicing these things, and who knows maybe I'll do some of my own band logos with the skills I've learned, but regardless, the videos are entertaining, I'm learning shit, and I'm doing some more visual art when I'm not making music, thank you.

insane how much information is in your videos, i have watched this several times already, but its useful every once in a while to remind myself about how many aspects influence letter and name weight

That was great. Ive always thought of weight as in the "presence" of the item, but not the physiological assumption of gravity weight. Ive deliberately designed pieces with gravity in mind (top of the letters squashed the lower half), but not how my assumptions of gravity would affect perception of everything. And this is why Im here and watch videos on art, craft, engineering and any other creation, I want to understand better WHY I like something or dont like something and the complexities of what they (creators) do. I like people like you who articulate why they like something and knowing how difficult something really is is something I value very much. My best art teacher (Ms Gunther of 8GU) realized very quickly I was to lazy to practice art so spent a great deal of time teaching what makes art beyond the visual aesthetics and how to appreciate the skill that was involved in its creation....to me its like appreciating a demo that was done in just 4k, yeah its cool, but the fact you can do it in only 4k is eFn amazing. I dont agree with you HEAPS, but damn I appreciate your views and knowledge of art applied to graff. PS when i say demo's I mean.... www.pouet.net/ ...kinda stuff.....the art of code visualized.

Hey man I appreciate your videos, I've been doing graffiti for over 15 yrs and watching a handful of these has not only helped tighten up a few things, but has really changed the way I think about it now and understanding theory.. keep it up my boy, thank you

Bought Kingspray Graffiti for my VR-headset last week after not painting live for years. Watching these videos sparked my interest and really hyped me for improving my skills in the game, since i rarely ever get out to paint these days. Love this series, keep up the good work man! Peace n love from sweden

Excellent video! I actually never noticed letters holding other letters,it's really cool.

You are the goat my dude! No one out there gives as much education on the fundamentals, styles and skills of graffiti like you do, mad love from australia! Cheers for educating future generations!

Best one yet! Keep up the good work

The last time I visited your channel was when you did that painting with the old dude with one eye. Maybe it was a year or 2 ago, it feels like 3. I'm really glad you did not change a bit. You still got the beard and the same intro and everything 💯 I'm glad I came back

Thanks man I learn so much from your videos.

I'm so glad you brought the idea of balancing the center of gravity, actually, when you brought it up in one of the twitch streams it kinda gave me an idea of how to change letter heights to support opposite letters in a pattern. So ya, thanks Grim!

I have watch 3 videos of yours and my sketches improved a lot. Keep it going likes this im pretty sure a lot of people apreciate some of your knowledge

you are an underrated blessing!

Thank you so much it helped me out with a problem I had and couldn't seem to find a way to deal with it

So so so much great info in this video. Great job.

Noone can compare to the advice you give bro. You are unrivaled in teaching method..

9:26 Stan’s T looks really dope fitting perfectly into the negative space between the s and the a, but it also looks kinda like a swashtika unfortunately

Very helpful channel. Many writers I feel didn't go through traditional art schools so this kind of video will go a long way to improving the culture. ✌

Yo i was listening to this video series while i was drawing and it looks so great dude lol I feel good. I was just listening and changing and playing around with my letters and for me being reletively new to graffiti my piece looks great

Thanks for another informative video. I'm definitely going to try getting into more graffiti and lettering very soon😋 always love seeing the examples of MadC and Taste, some of my favorite lettering artist

yo this human just broke down the science of why we as humans even love graffiti in the first place! its like how nature makes fruits bright colors , the wight and anticipation of letters funkified is human nature visual gold

Happy thanksgiving grim!

Best one yet

Nice video!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

really love the video.

ive been drawing graffiti for 29 years. mostly off and on with very little paint experience. my most challenging obstacle is color. ill do an amazing drawing and ruin it with color. this video def will help, thank you.

Yoo on the real thanks dog just started and need these hints

Sorry I’m late to the upload but still bro I feel like you’ve surpasses the limit of awesome.Like your the god of graffiti I just keep improving cause of your vids

having watched you for several years now, you've definitely talked about all of these topics before but what makes this series so good is how well youre able to actually explain your points this time around. glad you're revisiting these basic topics and explaining them in a better way man, keep up the great work

I've been doing graffiti for awhile I can't believe how I would notice this about graffiti but never thought there were actually art rules to it

I love that mural in the background of those girls in water.

trying to get into this via my medium of pixelart, thanks for the lessons

every artist should watch this video

Thanks Grim

Dude you're videos are suuuuuuuper helpful ive been needing help with color schemes and styles of colors can you help a brotha out on some color types and effects

Where do you find those peaces that you are showing us

I love this but in 7:10 the r looks tilted to the right how would i balance that out? For example would i put like a lower case e below the r to push it up?

Wow thanks bro you rock big time fuck love your art block, i got one: how do you kown when you do grafitty on a wall that the hole piece Will fit in Thanks

Can u do one on dealing with a longer name

Hi there good sir. So I set up a community wall on my fence which is a corner with 2 roads wrapping around it. Awesome how many people drive past and see it. I've never been a graffiti writer but always artistic in all sorts of mediums. So I started working on a tag, tag pieces, and more conventional art. Here's my question. To what extent am I possibly excluded or different from the predominant graffiti writer culture and ethos? I quickly recognised a difference in say ethical or aesthetic feelings when I started interacting with a graf help subreddit, and thought hmmmm I wonder if our different histories and willingness to do brave or risky illegal graffiti will limit the extent of our mutual understandings and beliefs around critique of my graffiti progress. I noticed fairly quickly that there appears to be something like a history and cultural pathway or right of passage for graffiti writers. As in the saying, standing on the shoulders of giants, there is possibly a large cohort of graffiti writers that confirm to a unified or egrandised image of the thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitudes of REAL graffiti artists.

GG Grim!

I reeeeeeeally want that lips/mouth and chain painting man would be an amazing late birthday present 😉 hint hint 😂

Can you draw super bare bones piece with stick letters? And kinda show us the flow and letter weight without the 3D effects? Kinda like you did with the R example? Also: “Gra-freeti”

this is some big brain shit

nice

How would you balance eLMO. The m either takes up too much room and becomes the vocal point(not intended). Or too much gets hidden behind the L and looks shit. I understand negative space management but i think i keep trying to hard to play with the fundamentals.

Curious, could somebody please tell me what the piece at 3:40 says I can't for the life of me decrypt it all i can make out is G???RONI Thanks =D

got an advert by a train company on a graffiti video

"Taging is bad"

looked at the little dot first

nice a...

1:40 yooo i know where that is haha

I hope you don't mind but I am going to disagree with something you said. Value both light and dark plays a part only depending on the time of day. Take your example of the mountains being light while the forest being dark. The time of day would determine this. That was a day picture or dusk. Depending on cast shadows blocking light in the fore ground. If you go toward the night what is closest would have brighter colors and what is in the distance would have a darker value. Take a simple space picture. Planets near to you would be lighter and larger while those in the distance would be darker and smaller. As the night turns to day the sky in the distance would brighten while objects close to you would be darker. As the sun goes behind mountains at dusk you would have darker mountains, brighter sky in the distance while objects close to you would have to be lit in some way appearing lighter. So there is no one way to judge value the way you said it. On the flip side you were right as warm colors pop and cool colors recess. BTW.. loved this video. Made me think.

AYO RIP BONES

Q u a l i t y

First

Bruhh.. some guy who tags BONES his tag looks exactly same like the thumbnail. Shame on him

13:12 on purpose?😂

Making art way more then it has to be. If you enjoy painting and it makes u feel good. Keep painting weather people like it or not. U can get away with whatever art u want to create. Heavy or light, falling over or supported. Art is not a crime
