The Technique That Will (Change Your GRAFFITI FOREVER!)

[@jacobhanan2050]

Could we get a savie graffiti analysis? Such a unique style

[@ThisOldPanda]

Im just getting into graffiti after nearly 30 years of apprieciating it... thanks for the content!

[@jezzapromtesausrap]

Me too champ, I can't draw to save my life! But picking it up fast

[@3looy]

How much did both of you progress?

[@galaxiesart]

You literally just summarized perspective drawing in under 7min, my man.

[@Theartistblock]

lol im glad, i really tried to make it consise, the original raw video was 2 hours lol. it always trips me out seeing the video go from 2 hours to 8 min XD

[@galaxiesart]

@@Theartistblock Keep up the good shit. You always have solid advice and tips. Lol and 2hr video sounds about right the basically a college art class session.

[@scenesaucers1903]

Mind blown..

[@jezzapromtesausrap]

Watched a couple of different KZbinrs, I gotta say you're by far the best! From someone who just started graffeiti, I find your clips by far the best and most informative. Few others are just confusing and miss leading

[@Josh-jo7mx]

I didn’t know you had a graffiti Channel. Cool man great art work and tutorial

[@rioskellentos1588]

This video was a huge help, gonna be hitting u soon with some 2 point perspective graffiti 🤙

[@streannguu2410]

Don t give up you are talented

[@Theartistblock]

thanks lol

[@rioskellentos1588]

Jus watched this again, great video. But a full process of you creating a 2 point graffiti peace would be awesome.

[@emiliosunshinewindows2142]

Dope vid, cheers for the great work ✌

[@ARIOS44]

I can make the box perfect but when going to make a letter I’m lost

[@marquissquire5121]

I really appreciate your videos man!

[@thanebergson6860]

i suggest architure drawing books helped me

[@gwopaveli_]

On your old video sketch book tour 2 at 4:12 how did you do the fill in

[@johnpaulponiado6646]

2 point perspective is not new to me, i studied Technical Drafting on 12 grade so i have an idea. Sir grim is Right, if the 2 vanishing point is too close together, the object you're drawing looks unnatural and distorted. I never tried this technique coz I'm still learning the basics and i sill don't know how to cast shadow 🤣

[@omarjaramillo7193]

Im good at 2 point perspective. I've been practicing for a while now. But still cant do much with graffiti letters

[@schultzydesigns7918]

you explained this better than my art professor in college

[@AssassinArt]

Excellent Video, nice little refresher course..!! Keep up the cool and informative content.. AA...

[@2basick]

Wow i can’t believe how much you broke it down!!

[@Grandpa_Grinch]

Another great explanation & tutorial on a subject some find tough that is essentially much simpler than people think but once you've had it explained properly about drawing 3D boxes using the multiple vanishing points

[@thirdimpact172]

1 and 2 point is cool and all, but im all about that 5 and 6 point perspective, that shits wild

[@Theartistblock]

lol those are pretty intense perspectives. i enjoy 2 and 5 the most.

[@hufass]

Can't remember if you have made a video on it but do you think you could do a video on "hitting the wall of progression" or "writers block", I feel as if i haven't progressed in around a year or so and its super discouraging!

[@Theartistblock]

Do you have an insta if so dm me and let me know it's you. I'd love to leave you a voice message about this specifically because I feel it's worth it. With that said writers block doesn't exist. If you haven't progressed then it's a matter of you either not practicing correctly or you lacking some core fundamental. Once again hit me up on insta with some work I'd love to help

[@hufass]

@@Theartistblock Cheers for the reply man! Will definitely send you a DM :)

[@frankcastle4715]

Damn :) i appreciate you bro 🤘👍👍👍

[@hayleykoenig16]

Are you ever gonna bring back the artist block hoodies?

[@cindafuqnrela]

Ty

[@trelyssabrekke3410]

So on 2 point perspectives the lettersgp to one point and the 3d goes to another perspectives?

[@peterlustig8021]

Me sitting in the technical drawing class trying to help my fellow students be like... We're working one two point perspective with a single vanishing point though. I admit that is a lot harder than with two, so I respect ppl who at least understand the two point perspective xd

[@arvimukhia6722]

i would love to know more about how the drop shadows are done :D

[@mobbdeep615]

redraw your cube or whatever with an offset in gray and boom

[@jackal_bmc]

Another great video

[@peterx.lucier8653]

Have you tried curvilinear perspective? 😉

[@Theartistblock]

yeah its actually my favorite along with 3 point

[@Jerk_ANC]

So why didnt you show an example of a real letter w curves

[@Theartistblock]

im confused, the first 3 min of the video show plenty of letters with curves. could you explain what you mean because i think i misunderstood.

[@Jerk_ANC]

I meant Draw, not show. Example its very easy o do a block E, but how would you do a curvy E? Thank you for responding.

[@Theartistblock]

@@Jerk_ANC oh I see I see, would you mind reaching out in instagram DM and I can show you there? Just let me know its you (say it's joke from YT or something in your first line). With that said in case you don't want to go that route, it really is imperative that you understand 1 point perspective first because if you understand how forms work with that then you'll be able to do this no issuem what I show here is the formula, this formula can be applied to any and all forms (including rounded E).

[@kristinarjabokon7454]

Can we get a Bizo analysis? He has a cool style. Or Deib. Nice video keep them up💯

[@DIRECTORofFILMS]

Sorry, unrelated to this video, but how do we send something to you for a critique if we don't have an Instagram account?

[@FullyLaidBack]

How do you shade the 3d though?

[@Theartistblock]

I'm legit working on a massive e book for that exact thing. It's a ton of info so it's taking a bunch of time

[@URPndJs]

Nice video.

[@user05276]

shit dude that looks sickk

[@strucker8976]

really good tutorial, thank you! Just a question, so when doing more advaned graffiti, although almost all the letters´ lines are not going to the vanishing point, should be some of them still going to the vanishing point?

[@Theartistblock]

any line that would normally be horizontal are now going to a vanishing point. Simple as that, curves and other angles dont necessity go to the VP (Vanishing point). The reason for this is theoretically if you have a block infront of you, you can cut any line, shape or form into that block so although your block will follow perspective, the lines you cut may not (for example the crack in the T in the blue and bronze piece.). With that said, and diagonal line that has pivit off a horizontal will go to a new vp above the actual vp on the horizon line. This will hardly ever happen though in graffiti although it can.Here is an example of that , say we have a box of doughnuts on the table (similar box to the video) then we open its lid, its lid is at an angle, the lines of the lid will go to a new vanishing point above the corresponding vanishing point.

[@strucker8976]

@@Theartistblock allright, now I get it! Thanks !!

[@jaydesripper]

this video needs more arrows

[@pazderca4404]

very good (:

[@AdomasZalneravicius]

letter E that u drew was exactly square 90 angles but in most of graffiti letters are tilted, you should do a tutorial where u take 2d piece and turn it into 3d with same letters proportions in perspective and how they change, how u draw simple cube and then cut out rotated letters because you can hardly count vanishing point for them and so on. i suggest checkint this tutorial on how u can draw 2d shapes in perspective with same proportions kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGrLop6vfNeBh7c&ab_channel=ScottRobertson over all good tutorial, but i really wanna see like 30min video where u go way deeper and draw all those forms correctly in perspective!

[@Theartistblock]

the reason I showed a simple e like that is because its a great starting place to help newer people keep it simple. Two point perspective isn't really something a newer graffiti artist will be able to do so with that said this tutorial is meant for advanced graffiti artists / artists and requires you already understand letters and form. also, i love his youtube, great artist with great info :D

[@compoundpress.2143]

you trip me out.

[@seven73ify]

YOOOO THKS...

[@KsparMolecule]

Going to throw up soon. Just need to learn how to colour better 😭

[@gahb4326]

The technique? you mean basic perspective?

[@Theartistblock]

Yup. In graffiti its seen as super advanced because most graffiti artists dont know 1 poin perspective.

[@gahb4326]

why is that? Is it being a "toy" knowing the basics of art?

[@Theartistblock]

@@gahb4326 the reason most graffiti artists dont know 1 point perspective and the reason most find 2 point to be mega advanced is because when graffiti started despite being an art they didnt see it that way (at least the majority). The art of it wasnt the focus, rather the was the whole act of doing it illegally that was the focus and as a result they never bothered to study things like art and it's fundamentals. they were inspired by art for sure but most never actually studied it to any capacity, and instead they used just trial and error to figure things out. This is how we ended up with the watered down vanishing point perspective in graffiti that is a watered down version of 1 point perspective that doesnt use a horizon line, and we all know how bad that is. Yet this watered down version of 1 point perspective is even considered advanced despite the fact that its simpler than 1 point perspective.

[@gahb4326]

@@Theartistblock I agree, initially Art wasn't the point of it, but nowadays It is different, I would have guessed that writers would "study" basic art rules especially that style is quite important these days so you can stand out of the rest. Anw its good youre taking the time to show those basics.

- WELCO - i just tagged the comment section

[@Tattootin]

The top of the R is throwing me off. No hate. At first glance it looks as if it should be a lik shade darker blue than the first 2 letters imo. Sorry man. I’m no one.

[@Theartistblock]

Lol no man you're fine I'm a no one too lol a youtube channel doesnt make me any better than anyone. I appreciate the feedback a ton, it's how we improve, and if you dont mind I'd like to explain why its shaded as it is. It's one of the highest points on the piece directly facing the light so it would receive more light and we also have to consider Lambert's emition law, essentially states that light values dont vary much and once they get to shadow then the values transition rapidly. This is why I have only a few light values and tons more shading, it gives much more realism this way
