No one tough me how to do a graffiti piece...my best advice is practice practice practice and find your own way and create your own style...trust me if I did it so can you...only if you're passionate about it...good luck!

Basics, Advance style and master it, Back to basics, 3d, Basics again, tags and throwies.

[@banananoodlini9084]

Dude, I've watched your videos since around 2013-14, and I can say that throughout these years, your videos have never ceased to amaze/help me. Whether you're just doing a simple sketch video, reviewing a product, or creating a piece of content like this, your videos have always been the same: great. Keep up the good work, homie!

[@yusefmitchell4531]

I agree, SIVE is an asset to Graffiti Culture. I just started following him in 2019. Sent him a sticker pack (Caddy Art & LOVE) and he sent me a NICE FAT sticker pack back. Always great content with SIVE.

[@haijac6248]

One of the best introductory to graffiti videos I have ever seen, so much info explained and demonstrated so cleanly that I just wanted to grab a pencil and paper and get busy

[@S1VE]

Glad it helped! Good luck on your graff trials

[@michaelandreasen993]

Dude,you make this look so super easy! I know it comes after years of drawing.. Ive have drawn alot of grafitti style fonts in my years, but I always get stuck using the same shadow contours etc.. I dont know if its because i lack imaginagion on what i can do with the lettering or what, but im extremely inspired by your Work! Keep it up!

[@lurda8826]

I tried this for the first time, thanks alot man! Its amazing for opening up for new things.

Dope work! Nice skills dude!

[@ThatGuy-hj9zq]

excellent tutorial.. thanks

[@_ferris1601]

Too anyone wondering. Your pieces should look like your tag. A letter in a piece is a direct drawing of the letter in your tag. For example - i.imgur.com/IFHXwMy.jpg If you need some beginner help or would like to get started with graffiti, come join our graffhelp discord discordapp.com/invite/wcDxwFs

[@S1VE]

Great examples, definitely give that link a look ^

[@snowygraff3657]

TRUE DAT Basically, you need to get yourself a good letter in a tag then make it thicker. With time and practice, the lines should become smoother and general look of letters better.

[@_ferris1601]

Yes! A lot of beginners want to jump right in, but it's best to start with tag and then translate that too bars which make up a letter

[@themadrecon5575]

_ferris at some point your letters will not look like your tag at all wtf , look at sofles and tell me his tag looks like his pieceletters hahah

[@snowygraff3657]

Sofles is advanced and very skillful artist. We're talking about beginners here.

[@xavierruiz1054]

Thank you so much you help me alot

[@aideerabago916]

Here from 2024 and this this is a good tutorial 👍😊

[@Artdeepmind]

I tried to do a graffiti sketches when I was at primary school, I found a pretty easy way to do it just by using a whole lenght pencil lead /2-3 cm/ do a tag with it and then outline it, erase the pencil. :D

[@brandonedwards3175]

These tips were so helpful. I find I get lost in details. It's like a rabbit hole for me and I get lost by the 3rd letter. Leaving me burnt out and my sketchbook full of half finished pieces lol. Will definitely try these tips next time!

[@S1VE]

I totally understand, I find its easiest to sometimes just move along and revisit later. Because more often than not other parts of the piece can help you decide what you want to do with another section. So rather than try and perfect something initially, get a strong base down and then use the whole piece to inform some of the more detailed decisions.

[@sparkimooo]

Awesome!! Keep going!!

[@juanaguilar8031]

[@firephantomforces9953]

35 seconds into the video i just Learned something :O

A great plug for bombingscience.com and the style file markers, but i don't understand why you're using the sharpie!?

[@franciscobranco6438]

thanks for this vid

[@d.istortionaladdict]

I have this problem where my name looks better with a throwie and tag rather than a straight letter or simple piece. But every time I try to do a straight letter or piece it comes out crummy because it doesn't look like the letters connect well. Do you have any good tips on letter flow/connection?

[@S1VE]

I touched on it quickly with the momentum but you have to learn how to adjust the lines of each letter within their boxes to also complement the letters next to them.

[@snowygraff3657]

yo can you give any examples of your work?

[@adammorales7091]

Hi +||SIVE||, love your videos and graffiti you helped to inspire me. I have one question, how can i improve on my 3D effect for my graffiti? I want to improve and i feel like i am lacking in that area, was wondering if you can do a video about the 3D effect so many beginners like me can improve. Thanks and keep up the great work

[@S1VE]

Look into some vanishing point tutorials, or drop shadow. both cover the main principals that you can also use with graff

[@marsmars1121]

MORE!!!!

[@Marcos-xo8nc]

I’m always scared to do throw up like these Or throw up in generals

[@die-gestalt]

Just practice them in a chill spot without people (abandoned building etc.) until you feel safe doing your throwup. Feeling safe about my throwup (and know I can do it in 1-2 minutes) helped me gain confidence to go to more public places.

[@goodfella1605]

These aren't throw-ups they are mostly pieces and straight letters.

[@createrscurse6338]

Ay this is a great lesson

[@fury3600]

looks very good, abit too clean for my likings, too much prep tho, but if youre using that to teach beginners then that's cool
