How to paint stencils - Among Us Street Art

[@codefiveart]

As a reminder, first two to answer the contest question will get a graffiti tag in their name in a dedicated video! Thanks for watching!

My guess it, the top half of the speech bubble wasn't done in one line so it's s little jagged. Also the vision seems like it's s shade too dark? That's all I got haha, it looks amazing tho, I'll be trying this later.

[@codefiveart]

Awesome! Nope that’s not what I was thinking. Although, yeah, the speech bubble could have been better.

[@jandewandelaar6737]

You cut the outline stencil too close to the edge, giving you overspray. It's pretty noticeable on the red one in the middle, but you can also see it on the orange and yellow ones on the right,

[@codefiveart]

@@jandewandelaar6737 that’s a very good observation! I definitely noticed that too. But it’s not what I’m looking for. However, if no one gets what I noticed, then I can declare you a default winner because that’s definitely a mistake in the process.

[@jandewandelaar6737]

@@codefiveart I noticed another thing. The orange dude with the green one in front of him, they should have been swapped. The perspective gets wonky when he's further down, but still behind the green one.

[@christhayil8354]

Very nice and great lesson....as long as the artwork is done on plywood or canvas, and *not* on buildings, bridges, or structures without a permit.

[@codefiveart]

Haha. Of course. This is just my own legal practice

[@drewmckdotcom]

These are so cool. You should paint orange getting ejected.

[@codefiveart]

Hahaha. Now that I have the stencils I’ll be able to plop these into anything I want. Hahah.

[@codefiveart]

I just got this. That would of been very timely.

[@PKWModelwerx]

Very cool. Starts with a great topic and execution. But humor and music also stand out. Thanks for the video. And other than one orange and one green having what look like uneven background color I don't see the errors. No prize for me I guess! Keep up the good work!

[@codefiveart]

That’s true, I do need to get better at using the transparent black evenly.

[@codefiveart]

But not what I had in mind!

[@FranklyEpic]

To be honest I wouldn't really call this a mistake, but I would have done layer one as a solid black silhouette of the character, and laid the colored parts inside of it. It would have made cutting out your black layer easier, and if you used registration marks aligning everything would have still been very easy. It's the way I did my among us paintings, and they came out looking alright. It would have left you not having to have bridges visible in the final image without doing touch ups.

[@codefiveart]

You know, that’s a good point. It’d waste more paint, but that’s okay. I was aiming for easy consistent black lines, and your approach would hazard the chance of getting the inside colors slightly off, maybe squeezed on one end. BUT, still a really good idea. Thanks for bringing it up!

[@FranklyEpic]

@@codefiveart you're 100% right about the amount of paint, but that really would be a negligible amount of paint usage. Aligning them without registration marks would be made more difficult, and when I did my among us paintings I didn't use registration marks, and did end up mis aligning a few of them. But overall after I missed uo twice, I figured out why and didn't mess up any more of them. For me, I go for aesthetics first, and would rather do a tad more work aligning stencils to avoid bridges. That's just my train of thought. I found you on the stencils sub reddit, so I figured a little back and forth would be good for both of us. Follow me on IG to see what I do, I just lurk on the stencils page now. @franklyepic and I'll follow you back.

[@codefiveart]

@@FranklyEpic dude I appreciate it soo much. Thank you. I hadn’t thought of that approach and will use it for some ideas I’ve been noodling. Let’s keep up the convo brother! I love expanding my art network

[@JOELAMOREwon]

Yo these look sick! Dope cut outs

[@codefiveart]

Thanks dude! I might just do one of them for all future pieces. Haha.

[@SHEIPGRAFFITI]

Broo, good video

[@codefiveart]

Yo thanks man!

[@kaitayam5279]

My guess is there are 2 spots on yellow where the shadow isn't filled in. Very cool vid!

[@codefiveart]

Oh that is a little messy, but I had something else in mind! Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@BigSamStudio]

Code five!!! Dope work brotha

[@codefiveart]

BIG SAM STUUUUDIOOOOOOO! 👆 Thanks for watching dude! Good choice on the Biden ice cream pic!

[@GraffitiCounterCulture]

Yo you should have varnished your cardboard after before spraying so it gets hard . Gives it longevity . Dope video

[@codefiveart]

Ohhhh good idea!!

[@STICKYArt]

This is dope! 👑👑👑🔥 the end looked good! Maybe the glare could be a little sharper but it fits the style!

[@codefiveart]

Thanks man!! That means a lot! I should do more of these contests so that I can get more people to critique my stuff. Haha

[@covix_0622]

can i use the couleur gray instead of transparent black ?

[@codefiveart]

Probably. I think so. You just make sure you spray lightly, so the underlying color does still come out!

[@covix_0622]

@@codefiveart thank u so much dude i just discovered ur channel and i love it keep up the good work

[@codefiveart]

@@covix_0622 thanks dude! I really really appreciate it. I promise I have more better content coming!

[@perriegoodricke5208]

I'm guessing you forgot to complete the outlines of the dudes in the background before putting the foreground guys in. Cool vid. 👍

[@codefiveart]

Hey thank you! Thanks for watching.

[@ThomasAgain]

One of my fav so far. Seriously nice work on this one, nice editing and I really dig the final piece. This makes me wanna get back into the damn spray paint again. My guess on the incorrect thing, ‘light source’?

[@codefiveart]

Not what I was thinking of, but I know that piece isn’t perfect.

[@codefiveart]

Buuuut. That’s definitely an oversight of flipping the stencils. The light source can still be above the speech bubble, since I have them all facing the middle

[@ThomasAgain]

So technically, I’m right?

[@codefiveart]

Nope! Light source still is good in my perspective.
