Do you still have the same PO box? Have you went over the rules of what not to do when ur in the ToY stage

[@josephlowry4320]

Green and orange are secondary colours.

[@SugaKookieMon]

Hue = color. Red, orange, yellow are analogous. Primary colors are red, yellow, blue, or better yet, magenta, yellow, and cyan. Green is a secondary color made from yellow and blue. Complementary colors are directly across from each other. That gray scale you mentioned refers to value. Shade, tone, and tint are totally different, too.

[@ctrl_alt_deleter]

Basically just remember RGB and CMYK. That's what I do, lol.

[@x-dah-t-er8779]

Yeah I got confused at that too, hue was mentioned to say that the step up and down the grey scale can be done with hues, you said red, orange yellow is like a step in hues to darker values, so that means that’s a warm analogue or something💎💎💎🔧? Yeah value wasn’t mentioned that is true , hue is chromatic shift and I think it is only a step lighter cause u buy a yellow or red hue, it’s been mixed with white🦠🦠🔫 damn the rainbow shift is sexy, I just finishing one up I share it with if u like t c💊💊💊💊🔬?

Went to watch his video from 11 years ago on how to make a custom marker and now this man has improved so dam much it’s impressive.

[@JasonMorelandDigitalrecline]

Super good. Great to have you show a couple of examples really helped make the message sink in for me.

[@danielfenwick6902]

This is by far the best explanation of this on KZbin

[@bitwashere]

Sive back with the heat

[@S1VE]

Cheers!

[@Allthepies]

Just really getting back into tag work & throwies after almost 20 years inactivity. I’m 41 and disabled now so can’t see myself running the tracks anymore 🤣 but the sticker scene seems dope. My tag was one letter off yours - SIZE. I’ve been using Procreate for about four years or so but may have to grab some pens and stickers! Love the channel, bro. Subbed & binge watching your vids 😎

[@Nostradonus]

41 disabled artist and also revisiting my youth on Procreate. 🤣

[@viktorpettersson9975]

thank god you posted wohoo!!

[@COCONUTRX]

Thanks a lot!! Enjoying the videos.

[@soccer7556]

all i can say is your amazing bro just amazing keep going keep growing

[@DelandSurfRats]

Whenever you draw that crazy cool graffiti does the way you draw that just come to your head or do you still use a format for it?

[@S1VE]

It’s a learned process and style, not just random

[@annunakinephilimthenecroma3658]

Love the channel bro, would love to see you do more graffiti pieces like this.

[@dowhatthedevilhates]

Best graffiti tutorials on KZbin ever. Thankyou brother. Keep them coming.✌

[@S1VE]

I appreciate that! Thanks for checking them out

[@Lady.MdNght]

I liked how you broke down the way colors work. I'm new to your channel and really liked the different graffiti letter style videos. I really like how Tag looks but for whatever reason mine just don't come out that well. Maybe that'd be something to teach.

[@timbatrombone]

With that red orange yellow fill in its actually better to do the red/darker shades at the top to make the white highlights stand out more

[@shieldontario]

Excellent work brethren mcS - love it very inspiring as an amateur artist aspiring to be a professional :) Question: What kind of markers are those ? Wasted an investment in these whack cheapo ones off amazon that bleed thru like crazy and cannot be over layered without mixing unapologetically...

[@mlansh]

what markers do you use for the fill in?

[@Diedoulsdie.2.]

Im a fan👌🏼

[@livinginthetruthministries7094]

you covered this topic in a very simplistic way ..thanks

[@Porsche991.2]

Hey Sive next tutorial should be how to colour graffiti with cheap markers.

[@billbobert]

its crazy that he only has 130k subs, for how high quality his vids are

[@endARTpaint]

I love this man! Great video as always

[@vanillaquicksand8025]

This was explained so well 🤙🏻

[@danielvelazquez938]

Nice bro that joint fire word.

[@Kettupaini]

Those 3D-lines will come handy tip. :)

[@hughmungus4118]

That bit where you make your eyes go foggy is the first time I heard some speak of this phenomenon which we subconsciously look at something as whole from that perspective

[@S1VE]

An artist’s essential!

[@WholeLifeSolutions]

Thank you!! Love the break down.

[@tomchristopher71]

"The classic red and yellow is always hittin'"

[@jongabrielminney2440]

Id be willing to bet that the musical "circle of fifths" would work perfectly on the color wheel.

[@S1VE]

Light and sound are both waves, always fun to find symmetries between how they act

[@manuellomarzzallino1921]

Great tutorial

[@DelandSurfRats]

Can you make a video on how to make those cool drops next to your letters. Might just be me who has a problem with that thought.

[@S1VE]

The bubbles? Yeah I’ve been thinking anoint doing a background tutorial!

[@WAFR95]

Very helpful tutorial!

[@thatmaskedfreak4561]

That S is killer!

[@grafftube1248]

thanks mate!! really usefull. good luck everyone!!

[@S1VE]

Stay up boss!

[@Sparks3D]

Very helpful video! Nice job!

[@hannesholzinger5233]

lovin ur videos keep making em pls

[@cruzz1803]

Can you make a more in depth tutorial on how to do the piano key shadows and if you can do them on any style of graffiti?

[@vanessauosukainen7631]

Just do regular 3d add white lines inside of said 3d. If your 3d goes to left add white or any other colored stripes that go to left. You can do it on any style. I would not use them on throw ups tho,only pieces

[@денисСолодков-б7щ]

Cool , learning from this video

[@barlowjmb]

Incredible. Do you ever find yourself working a piece to death and ending up disappointed with what you end up with?

[@S1VE]

All the time, but that just means it’s not finished yet. I must have draw ten different s’s for this one. Had to start on a fresh sheet and trace it for the outlines because all of the page was chewed up haha

[@zif06]

Nice👍👍👍

[@ant1187]

Bro this guy is cracked at graffiti what they actual fuck. Maybe he isn't that insane to all the pros of graffiti but I'm a beginner and it honestly looks sick

[@Vish240]

Thanks Sive I have a bunch of plain white graffiti art but I just don’t know how to color them👊

[@S1VE]

Awesome! Best of luck

[@droplit4607]

Hey Sive, do you have any tips on how to get better?

[@S1VE]

Study! You have to first learn how to learn and then anything is possible

[@droplit4607]

@@S1VE Thank you so much! You're an inspiration :)

[@euniz3_]

Super helpful!!! tyyy

[@TFONEHYPEGUY]

Ay y'all, I'm just beginning yo learn graffiti art and this video was super helpful! What kind of marker or brand of marker would you guts suggest?

[@S1VE]

I’ve been using a lot of artify and Ohuhu lately!

[@bmbrsgraffiti764]

So goood👍🏼👍🏼

[@barrios.sebastian2162]

When you finished your sketch, did you use another paper? Do you trace it onto another paper?

[@S1VE]

Sometimes if the sketch gets too messy I’ll go for a fresh start

[@Diedoulsdie.2.]

Sick ass piece 👌🏼

[@陈立言-z3x]

May I ask what pen you are using?

[@MichaelSmith-mb1gm]

Glad I found this. Thanks. I subbed!

[@S1VE]

No problem! Lots more were it came from in the how to series

[@GamerWithAttitude1]

This tutorial is "EPYK" ✌🏻😎 But you gotta do something about the AC noise, buddy.

[@S1VE]

haha couldn't agree more! updated my setup since editing this guy

[@yasminmostafa3698]

Heyy could u advice what pens ur using plss 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@S1VE]

these are a mix of dickblick studio art markers and artify

[@seattlesattlerfamily3905]

What markers you using?

[@redsmurf8031]

Finishing touches, shadows, highlights, style additions etc? That’d be epic, awsome work bro 🤙🏻

[@robertdumitrutanase8421]

where do you get the markers

[@infitada]

good lord… these are d o p e

[@cosign56]

Primary colors are: Red, Blue and Yellow. Not Green!

[@murukart3414]

👍👍👍

[@PedroAguero-ej4vc]

I think that's been debunked at this point. I go off the light spectrum as well (additive)

[@dreisigbene]

Just the right time, thank u

[@johnniestorm4770]

I love to draw and I love graffiti , but I'm not good at put the colors together that complement each other do you have any tips , or suggestions on putting the right colors together

[@S1VE]

Definitely try to clean the color wheel section

[@Mr.G333]

What are good types of Pen's to buy for coloring with pls

[@dannymclennan1947]

Thx this is gona help a lot

[@BapeRust]

bro you made this vid on my b-day

[@monkypawzable]

Do you have any advice on applying the colors? Where on the piece to use what? How to add in other colors without making it look stiff and too cut up? Know what I mean?

[@S1VE]

It’s a bit hard to generalize, a lot of the placement has to do with the letter shape. When in doubt try to pick the same side of each letter. Say for example in a yellow fill, make orange bubbles on the right edge of each letter

[@blackprimetoys7090]

Green is Secondary color boss

[@shrunkenappleheads]

Primary colors are red yellow and blue not green green is made up of blue and yellow it’s not a primary, it’s a secondary color just like orange and violet, One stupid question though and what is the complementary of brown? Great video 🌗💐🐉

[@itsalien372]

brown is not a "color" per see since it's just dark orange! so the complementary would be a darker shade of blue as well

[@МихаилБаденко]

Very nice

[@davidrata1585]

Or maybe how to do point graffiti please I need help alot

[@kartikkosmic2512]

Hey sive! I am a 14 yr old from India, I really like your work but I have some difficulties finding the right colour and how to develop unique and original fonts

[@S1VE]

Take inspiration from the world and practice! That is the only way to learn the approach

[@tazmon122]

value (light//dark) doesn't really effect hue when defining hue. hue is just the color. yellow is a hue. blue is a hue. it doesn't matter how light or dark the color is...yellow is yellow. doesn't matter if it's a dark or light yellow. in this application where saturation is sort of out the window, it makes sense to mix hue and value. graffiti using high opacity specific materials like acrylic based markers and spray enamel paints, saturation is more of the technical application and less to do with how it effects the colors...HOWEVER the distinctions between value and hue are important anywhere from tattooing to traditional studio painting to graphic design to print making and everywhere in between.

[@King_pape755]

What type of makers do you use

[@S1VE]

This piece was mostly artify markers

[@FINDROBLOX]

Hey sive what are those markers you used called i really want to get some

[@S1VE]

For sure, they are called artify check them out here amzn.to/3CXG6ha

@@S1VE thank you also im still going to get merch i said i while ago i was but ive not had the money to but i will soon but i really want some merch also lol so i just wanted to let you know and i love all your videos they have helped me alot

[@ob3lu5on3r7]

I think that last price came out dope, but the piano keys were really heavy and took over too much of the 3D for the colours to really pop and come out as the contrasting colours. Gotta give mad respect for the finished product

[@wesleedarby955]

I thought Red, Blue, and Yellow were primary colors?

[@samvelsoapcuttingasmr8553]

Guzel bir tarz oldukça başarılı 👌👍🏻😍😍😍❤❤

[@capalee807]

Red, yellow, and blue are primary

[@sardoislove2674]

Quality content...

[@mayhem9938]

Would you say it's important to learn about color theory more in depth?

[@S1VE]

Personally I think color theory can become a little micro managed which can take some of the fun out of it... but that being said knowing it at a high level is definitely helpful.
