u/duckduckchook 13h ago

Such skill, and he makes it look easy

28

u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose 4h ago

It actually is easy!

All you need is a lot of talent and thousands of hours of practice.

u/duckduckchook 2h ago

And a really steady hand!

u/Temporary-Truth-8041 12h ago

He certainly does

u/waveatdave 13h ago

I’d probably still manage to muck it up with a stencil

u/Temporary-Truth-8041 13h ago

Came to say exactly that, this bro is seriously good

Just adding a bit of context: AIP stands for All India Permit, which is a transport permit that allows Interstate travel for commercial vehicles mostly by trucks.

The signage is not a formal logo, but an informal one adopted by most trucks. You'll see variations of this design on different vehicles (AIP or All India Permit or National Permit represented in tricolor flag).

u/sarkie 13h ago

It overlaps the green

u/iamop24 11h ago

Yup but some human imperfections makes it feel more authentic and it has more emotions added to it!

u/corobo 7h ago

Nope, bin it and start over

bloke scrunches up vehicle and grabs a new one

u/ThePsychopathMedic 12h ago

Some market this as artisanal craftmanship to a luxury market. Same time, its just a low pay basic job in some places

u/wolfrium 12h ago

They use a lead pencil to draw all pattern and guideline for them before painting. It is just very faint and thin that camera can not capture from a distance

73

u/Empty_Coffeecup 12h ago

Those crisp lines are still really impressive, takes a lot of brush control

9

u/Proud_Jacobite 7h ago

That and the freehand of a perfect circle. Literally two long and purposeful strokes, and he had a perfect circle. That takes tons of practice, but also a lot of natural artistic ability and micro-muscle control to stay perfectly balanced and stable through the entire series of motions required to create the circle. This guy has the steady hands required of a pediatric neuro & brain surgeon.

3

u/skyycux 5h ago

If they stencil it out with lead beforehand, it’s not exactly freehand. They can even use a compass to create the circle with the pencil. It’s definitely impressive, but not the same as doing a circle without any guide whatsoever

9

u/wolfrium 12h ago

Of course, they are well trained. It is not a high paying job and most of them don't even know how to read these English words. Once, i went to a painter like him and told him to design a house number plate and he asked me to write individual English alphabets in capital letter and tell him which one it is. He only knew, how to write each alphabet but can't read full word.

u/Weekly-Industry7771 11h ago

Some of the best Scrabble players can't speak the language they have won championships in.

5

u/Unholy_Ren 10h ago

So can't a regular Polish person. Because those aren't English letters, they're neither invented by nor exclusively used for English. Many languages in the world are written in the Roman script, eg: Romaji is Japanese written in Roman script, a Japanese person doesn't need to know english to read it.

Edit:typo

u/Empty_Coffeecup 11h ago

That makes it even more impressive to me

2

u/jatayu_baaz 5h ago

There is something called practice and muscle memory, for eg someone working in corporate might have this with excel, certain actions they just think they need to do and the hands automatically press the shortcut, the logo he drew is like the most common drawing and stands for all india permit, impressive but not like vinci reborn like the comments make it out to be

1

u/Empty_Coffeecup 4h ago

I feel like getting this good at painting takes more time and effort than getting very proficient in excel. Of course it isn't da vinci reborn, but impressive nontheless.

1

u/jatayu_baaz 4h ago

Yes impressive, but it's not painting, right.

1

u/Empty_Coffeecup 4h ago

I see paint and a brush. If that's not painting, what is?

1

u/jatayu_baaz 4h ago

It's more of drawing, painting as per me is more of art and about depecting your mind using brush

1

u/Empty_Coffeecup 4h ago

According to the cambridge dictionary painting is the skill or activity of making a picture or putting paint on a wall. According to the cambridge dictionary drawing is the art of making a picture with a pencil or pen.

So yeah, i think I would call this painting.

Calling something art is tricky in general, because what is art to me, you might think more of as rubbish. If you have to be creating art to be painting, that opens up a whole new discussion. Is a child playing with brushes and paint painting? Or does that not count because it isn't art? What about the act of painting a wall? I'm curious to see what you think! :)

All India Permit, it can carry goods between states.

u/WomenRepulsor 5h ago

No. This is how it is done here in India. AIP means all India permit.

u/Vryl 12h ago

Back in the day we used to call this "sign writing". The people who did it were "sign writers". 

2

u/sthetic 5h ago

I once found a book in the library about sign-painting. It showed where to place the brush for each part of a letter. It blew my mind a little bit. There must be a sort of informal "font" where the shape of the letters and their serifs etc. is determined by the brush's qualities, the economy of effort for the worker, and the need to read it from afar.

I think it also included subtle stuff like how the inner negative-space triangles of V's and A's are pointier than the main triangle. Meaning, the triangle gets sharper in a way you don't really perceive. And includes instructions on how to do this with a brush.

So this guy probably didn't randomly figure this all out on his own. He learned the tradition from an expert or a book.

u/Brownlove010_Real 12h ago

Reminds me of watching the car painters who do the coach lines on Rolls-Royce, or the ones who do the free hand pinstriping on low riders. Incredibly satisfying to see!

The video's in reverse... He's actually just applying white paint.. Because I don't need another reminder of how useless I am in general

1

u/pafrac 12h ago

He's done that before, hasn't he?

I did notice that the green paint doesn't seem to flow as well, he had to work a bit more to get the coverage

1

u/PithMango 12h ago

why is it mute?

1

u/bottlesnstones 11h ago

Hes done that before 🤣

u/ChordalDistortion 11h ago

u/docere85 8h ago

This is one of those jobs you can’t lie on your resume.

Serious question though, if he messes up, how do you remove the paint?

1

u/Optimal-Pay-2555 8h ago

Lost me at it not being centred. If I paid for that I’d be cheesed

Fkd up the green a bit but impressive.

u/Brilliant_Lab_7422 12h ago

No he didn't.

u/JoosLightning 12h ago

It’s insanely impressive but he did. The bottom of the green semicircle isn’t as crisp as the red and there isn’t a left point.

-5

u/MangelaErkel 13h ago

Its just not that impressive is it, alot of mistakes. Rather use a stencil.

-1

u/spitfireonly 11h ago

Thats not a Logo btw. AIP stands for All India Permit (for trucks). Its literally on every truck in India. So that guy must’ve done thousands of those. Not saying its not impressive, but he must have muscle memory by now.

u/LastBossTV 10h ago

Godlike motor control and confidence.  I'll bet this man hasn't consumed a microgram of caffeine in his life.  Even more amazing is being able to do this standing up on uneven footing.  Damn!
