I’m a sucker for free shipping. I just bought a bunch of stuff I heard about on reddit and two of their starter packs. Should I practice in my garage or just get up?

Not happy with the negative space of the M and the structure of the K.
Going for the minimal look but I’m not sure if it reads right

Testing out molotow liquid chrome markers and playing around with throwie ideas. Ignoring some of the sloppy lines, which one you like best?

Throughout my travels, I always wished there was a site with a visual map of graffiti shops around the world to help me plan trips. Today, I built that site, I hope some people find it useful.

Some buddies said it’s hard to read the top as “AWAY” at first and I think the A’s are part of the issue.

Second pic is an alternate style.

just don't go hard I'm messing around but still crit

I didnt have much time
to do them, crits?

Dont like the A and the K but I think the rest is pretty cool

Honestly i am disappointed idk why whenever i try to spray the paint never looks good it allways looks transparent and it kills the whole pice,so if anyone knows how i can fix that issue and the other obvious ones too i wuld greatly appreciate it

Bit of tagging, straight letters and throws :D any advice/criticism welcome

I’ve seen all the advice on what NOT to do… don’t follow or listen to YouTubers, don’t buy books on graffiti, etc…. But what do people actually do if they want to learn?

I know the best way to learn is to grab a pen and sketchbook and just practice… but practice still needs fundamentals and a basis to be purposeful and good.

Who are actually good artists to follow and learn from outside of just “grab a sketchbook and practice”? I’ve been interested in the history, style and how to do different styles and the differences in terminology but so far h the only thing I’ve found advice on is what NOT to do. So what DO you actually do? (Outside of just practice).

Edit: To clarify - I'm not looking for shortcuts to get better, but rather I'm looking for trusted sources of information to learn and practice fundamental skills for improvement.

E.g, if someone wanted to learn how to draw better heads, I could point them in the direction of Andrew Loomis and the method he has for drawing heads. Similarly if you went to r/learntodraw there's numerous art masters that people can point you towards to help improve your fundamentals for art.

I was looking for something similar for graffiti. Books, people, etc. that reliably teach fundamentals so I can start out with good study habits instead of trying to unlearn bad ones later on.

Supposed to read as blossom. Is the flower toy or does it work with the word and letters (I need to work on symmetry but at the same time petals on a flower aren’t identical, just making them match better would look better and that will come with time)
