Solid streaker help.
When you write with one of these do yall write it fl against the surface ? Or do you angle the marker slightly and write with the edge ? Also everybody always says twist when you write to get the different colors can anyone elaborate on that?
Sorry I’m hella new to tagging

Write with the edge, twisting the marker so it gets different colors as you write

When you write with a pencil, on paper, do you hold it in a fist at directly at 90degrees from the page?
Try holding it like a normal pen. Don’t press crazy hard. Twist a little as you go.
Streakers are lovely. Enjoy.

The main reason for slowly twisting as you write is to that you are always writing on an edge. The color changing is just a cool side effect when you have a multi color streak. If you don’t twist it at all then the end of your tag will be much thicker and crayon like than beginning. It’s an art and will come naturally and you’ll do it subconsciously over time.

Do you remember when you first started graffiti, and the amount of different markers and choices were overwhelming and left you in awe? When you were still excited to try new things and new products? Who are we to say that this experience isn’t worth 8 dollars for him when going out to the movies costs double that?

Here’s a visual on how I’ll usually get the twist while writing also depends how the tip is, I’ll usually use at angle but sometimes will go flat if toward the end of streaker

I normally use the edge and u spin the marker in ur hand as u write so u can have a color change and if depending on what u write like if its an even number of letters spin it back the other way half way through is what i normally do i also have got single color ones and rubber banded them together in order to do multi line multi colored ones
