aw man i love this subject at the moment on graffiti alphabets, do one in this website and tell us what’s wrong with it but for someone starting if they could use this website to help the create their style however can’t really ever do that with any these websites lol www.graffiticreator.net
and also like to see a in depth video on expanding your hand style been writing for about two years but want a really nice flowing hand style like boroe and cover all things needed to be considered when making sure it’s clean but can achieve a somewhat messy style? love the videos man keep that shit up!!!
I know its not cool to do graffiti alphabets, but its great to get inspiration I personally take 1 letter from an alphabet most of the time the first letter and then build a piece around it matching the flow
lol honestly right?! Lol its ass backwards, but on the other hand the structures are a lot easier for me to read in graffiti because the letters are so defined and unique. As to where in normal writing everything just blends together for me.
@@Theartistblock i mean have you ever seen the font opendyslexic? its a font made to help prevent floating and twisting letters like is common in dyslexia. it gives hella graffiti vibes in the way it distorts letters. edit actually id like to see that from you a dyslexia-aide font review in the style of a graffiti critique with graffiti fundamentals applied to open dyslexic and stuff like that looool
I remember using this at the beginning. Like I looked up the alphabet and copied it for about every single "piece". Now looking back at it. I wish I would have found this channel at the start.
Alphabet is very handy for designing your own style. This way you can practice your letters on the entire alphabet. Biters will bite regardless. but using 1 style on all letters helps me understand what im doing.
This was helpful! As a person who is struggling with throwies, I have mostly improved by this vid my tags are fine but throwies weren’t so thanks for this vid, yours sincerely, rook
Each alphabet puts a few ways I could let my hand feel more styles, even still I can't graffiti but I can make my own alphabet still not on the wall. Read all of it anyway for one or two new directions for that day.
lol im currently learning animation , but a whole animated adventure would take too much time, im only one man lol i need help with my youtube to be able to have time to make that
While I can definitely understand and somewhat agree with the points you make, I think there are some very beneficial aspects to certain, not all, alphabets. As for generators...the only pro to those pieces of trash is that it helps 2nd grade teachers create "funky-fresh" new banners to hang on the walls ...fuck 'em! Back to alphabets. 1 benefit I have found is that there are or can be certain exceptions to the rules of letter structure that only appear with graffiti writing. For instance, the middle segment of an "S" doesnt always have to slant like --> " \", it can also travel upwards ("/" the forward slash is exaggerated, but still supports my case) and maintain the essential identifiable characteristics if done correctly. And, as I'm sure you already know, there are several other exceptions to various letters that work in a similar fashion as well as "leg" directions and width, etc... Point being, it would have taken me much, much longer to figure this shit out had I not had these alphabets to study the likenesses and discrepancies of. Finally, as far as differentiating between solid lettering and garbage distributed in worksheet form, created by someone with zero grafitti knowledge goes....well...I would like to think that most people that are seriously interested in graffiti, to the point of checking out these alphabets, have enough common sense to not rip them off and are at least artistic minded enough to know which ones look like complete shit and which ones look like the author knows a pretty good bit or a bad ass. Love your work & input. P's -
i just started to get into graffiti. tbh i don't know where to start. sketching. all my sketches look like every tagger in my city. i wanna do more than draw "fonts" letters. the art too graffiti. it be nice if you could give some basic starting points. im open to anything to be talented in graffiti.
their's no shortcut, if you want to get better at anything you have to start with the basics, in this case thats basic print font. This is the FASTEST way to get better too. I have a playlist full of tutorials called toys guid to graffiti or something along those lines. It teaches literally everything you need to know for graffiti, and then the critique playlist goes over all that info in different ways too so their's more than enough info here. Enjoy man , hope it helps!
Im been 3 years in The game started with pieces (bad off me) was doing SIMPLE straight letters also had a friend Who also started with me he started doing complex pieces and The sukced ass he couldent improve because of The lack of fundamentals so he just quit but im still here (btw i practice handstyles) over anything
I feel like everyone who feels the need to actually Pick and choose the letters from an already made alphabet, to hit up your name, is the definition of a *TOY* Never just copy. If you wanna look at alphabets to see how they happen to do it cool, but don’t bite the whole thing somebody that’s been in the game gonna straight up know lmao 😂
I'm new, n been told to follow letter guides, I thought hmmmm now I see y! Full respect to you ya legend!!!! Learnt so so much from you! One of the best tutorial channel on TH-cam! IMO
When i was 12 y/o i used those websites to generate my name hahahah. Im 24 now and still learning about graffiti. Thanks a lot to this channel helped me a lot
What about creating your own alphabet? as in practicing the keyboards letters by writing them down as an alphabet over and over again to gradually develop your own style? Video title has just confused me that's all.
No need to crate your own when you already have basic print font to learn from. Style is the exaggeration of the fundamentals so it will not develop properly till you know the basics. In Other words , creating alphabets are for advanced graffiti artist who know what they're doing. They're not to learn from
Grimm, I see alott of what I call vandilism on my streets locations, I am the only one that does throwups that express art. Now the stuff I call vandilism is painting a d*** on the wall. I put time and risk in my effort and Its hard to find a chill spot. I am gonna continue but operations have come to night operations. It's hard to find a good chill spot In my area and give respect to certain sides of buildings but Idk how long I will slide
Damn straight I plugged skillshare in this and recommended it to people on this video. Skillshare has amazing calligraphy classes that will make you over all better with letters and all of that translates directly to graffiti. And I explained why newer graffiti artists shouldn't use ANY alphabets at the start of the video.
The idea of a "graffiti generator" though I've never heard of that... makes me cringe.... I guess if you are someone who got into graffiti through typography, sign writing or something you would come across some bullshit like that trying to learn graff through whatever you do on your computer or at school but handsdown the best way to learn graffiti is by going out on the streets, look and learn from what's out there it's as simple as that... take whatever you can from what you can find online and use it but always remmeber where it started and came from in the first place.... it's a little bit ironic that you are here telling the internet what the "right" way to do graffiti is though... you have your own videos trying to educate people so I dont understand why you would hate on other educational sources when you're doing the same thing
First off someone needs to do a proper alphabet where all the letters get prop points !! Every alphabet will have a few good letters in em....alphabets are necessary!! To get in a good crew you have to know that crews alphabet, write it the way they do and write it well to get in a crew.. alphabets are the bread and butter in our world!!! So to dis alphabets doesn't get you any prop points from me or my crew. Don't listen to dude if you want to learn the write way . I learned from the first Graff book ever put out and it was an extremely important tool to learn piece art from!! If only we had the webs to get alphabets from it like cheating almost .. Graff as free as it seems really has structure and systems that's strict and has guide lines so alphabets are a VERY important part of our world!! I have a stack of every alphabet I can find I printed out that I keep in my work bag at all times and i use it every time I do a black book piece .. now I never at all do the same letter I'm looking at its just a tool that gets me to draw the letter i like.... i never get stuck in a piece pattern my work is always different every time and is my own so don't listen to instructional Graff vids!!! Do what works for you they gonna take all the fun get inspired but do your own thing find some writers who know what's up that's all anyone needs I never had internet when i started out I'm glad for that cause its gotten lame go outside and meet peeps start a crew do it WRITE !!!xxxxxxxxMISC.x1xxxxxxx akaxxxx PIRO x1xxx aka ----------------$$$$$$$$$$??????????__
Dam I made that mistake already fuck ok I’m still learning ok don’t copy the graffiti lettering got it make your on style I guess it’s back to Square one again lmfao
Bro I use 13 different alphabets and they all flow extremely well maybe you just haven’t found an alphabet that actually flows I’ve even made some of my own but I would expect you more than anyone to understand open mindedness considering that your an artist😕
If you know the fundamentals then why are you using alphabets, youd have no use for them if you know the basics. If you're using alphabets then you might not know the fundamentals enough to see the fundamental issues with them. Not all alphabet suck, plenty look great. My mentor made some, and many of my friends have too, the issue is when people copy them then they run into tons of fundamental issues because not all of the letters were designed to flow with each and every other letter. For example their P may not flow with their A. That's not to say those letters suck or they dont look "related" but rather that they weren't made with the intention to be beside one another. Alphabets can be used to learn in RARE cases, but not only does this require an extremely good alphabet but it also requires a graffiti artist who understands how to do a master study and over my 20 years of teaching I haven't run into a single new graffiti artist who knew how to do that. So I stand by my initial statement.
@@MidNightMunchies69 lol what, 3d has nothing to do with this lol. Also I'm not closed minded, you just haven't given me a good argument. You haven't provided any evidence or facts, or sensible theory backed with experience. I've been teaching graffiti for nearly 20 years and doing it for longer than that. I only say this to share with you that I've seen the effects of new writers using alphabets and iv seen how it pays off or hurts them years later. Maybe dont be closed minded to fundamentals and learn rather than trying to start an argument with people who know what they're talking out when you're over there using alphabets Also, I like how you openly admit to biting, copying and stealing others letters, needing to use others alphabet to do graffiti because you dont know letters yourself and somehow you think I'm in the wrong and somehow you think you're knowledgeable enough to notice if the fundamentals of your work are off. Spoiler alert, if you needed to bite then you wouldnt know the mistakes of your letters if they hit you in the face.
I just like the alphabets of all of them i like the whole variety of the graffiti letters There so cool all the different alphabets drawn different love it 😍😊👍but im going to ask myself this question if i like all the different graffiti alphabets does that make me a gangster noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and noooooooooooooooooooooo i just like all the alphabets of the letters but some of them are funny 😂
You guys loves guns......but nooooo nipples. oh no do not paint nipples. Don't say fuck, say f*ck . I have been in game 30 years now, there is NO rules for painting graff. People can get ideas and progress. Like we did in 80's and 90's (before instagram, youtube and internet). Everybody seeks inspiration from others. Ending of video was great though. Learn the basics if your new, the elaborate.
since when is practicing gatekeeping. This takes time to get good at, so ya about 4 years. what, you think you'll be good overnight haha. thats some lack of dedication if you ask me. if you know me and my content, I'm constantly recommending an 80 20 split. 80 percent diligent practice 20 percent whatever you want, this is meant to help progress quickly. If you want to take decades to learn the most simple of lessons because you never wanted to have discipline and practice then be my guest but you can do that alone. when you're 50 with whack letters don't be mad at the young ones better than you after a few years, just remember you're the one who didn't want to learn,.
@@Theartistblock so you are telling me if i keep doing the same letters everyday for 4 years im suddendly going to be able to do those super sick stylized ones? bullshit, we need to study other ways to be good at them. Everyone know how to do the basic alphabet come on. Maybe give examples of different graffittis with that "basic" style. Maybe this is just a communication problem. I just cant believe every sick writer out there did that basic style for years before trying something a bit different. How is someone suposed to progress in an artistic way if you dont challenge yoursellf? if i do that for 4 years im just going to stagnate, get bored and probably quit grafiti. but what do i know im new to all this
@@spideypng after reading your comment its 100% a communication problem. I think we'd actually end up agreeing on this topic. It's not a matter of doing the same letter, moreso a matter of not adding style so that the style doesnt add unessery obstacles that end up making it take longer to learn. To add style in anything, you first have to know the basics. So the goal is to give ourselves the easiest time learning those core concepts. As time goes on people will slight lean letters, maybe make some wider, thinner, so on so forth but thing crazy. From there they add little serrifs and small compressed extensions while still doing little tweaks to letters. The learning process is long for most things in life. After about 4 years give or take most graffiti artists have a basic grasp on graffiti's basics if they've been focusing on learning. From here, because they have a decent understanding of the basics they can begin to methodically add style. My method of teaching is no different than how we do it in professional art, learn the basics, add style after. It works and gets results.
@@Theartistblock i think i get what you are saying, is it possible for you to provide me an example of a beginner friendly graffiti (basic style?), maybe a video or something? ive recently bought my first 2 cans and i enjoyed doing some characters on the wall, i want to try to do a throw up (i think thats the name). nothing too complex just to dip my toes in.
@@spideypng sure, i have a ton of tutorials on the topic, let me link you something i think can help. Here is the playlist, this covers pretty much anything you might want to know. th-cam.com/video/L44qLzz_FB0/w-d-xo.html this is an example of basic piecing style. th-cam.com/video/ALvLLOHFfog/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the level headed convo. glad we were able to get on the right foot after the initial message
Not hating man, just teaching people better ways to learn and helping them avoid potholes like using graffiti alphabets. Been teaching 17 years, and not once has alphabets helped.
thats a shame, i wish you didnt have that outlook. we can all draw dude, i was born with less than zero drawing ability, i drew stick figgures up until i decided to learn and teach myself. most people cant draw for crap, but you learn, you put in the work and effort and you get the skill in return.copying dowsnt really teach much and doesnt give anyone skill.
we need more of these videos!!!
whats the next topic you would like? I'd love to do more !

Yea same or if im struggling with a letter i use it as a ref
They are useful tho...

How is someone suposed to progress in an artistic way if you dont challenge yoursellf? if i do that for 4 years im just going to stagnate, get bored and probably quit grafiti. but what do i know im new to all this
@@spideypng after reading your comment its 100% a communication problem. I think we'd actually end up agreeing on this topic. It's not a matter of doing the same letter, moreso a matter of not adding style so that the style doesnt add unessery obstacles that end up making it take longer to learn. To add style in anything, you first have to know the basics. So the goal is to give ourselves the easiest time learning those core concepts. As time goes on people will slight lean letters, maybe make some wider, thinner, so on so forth but thing crazy. From there they add little serrifs and small compressed extensions while still doing little tweaks to letters. The learning process is long for most things in life. After about 4 years give or take most graffiti artists have a basic grasp on graffiti's basics if they've been focusing on learning. From here, because they have a decent understanding of the basics they can begin to methodically add style. My method of teaching is no different than how we do it in professional art, learn the basics, add style after. It works and gets results.
@@Theartistblock i think i get what you are saying, is it possible for you to provide me an example of a beginner friendly graffiti (basic style?), maybe a video or something? ive recently bought my first 2 cans and i enjoyed doing some characters on the wall, i want to try to do a throw up (i think thats the name). nothing too complex just to dip my toes in.
@@spideypng sure, i have a ton of tutorials on the topic, let me link you something i think can help.
Here is the playlist, this covers pretty much anything you might want to know.

Thanks for the level headed convo. glad we were able to get on the right foot after the initial message
😂
why is this guy hating so much
Not hating man, just teaching people better ways to learn and helping them avoid potholes like using graffiti alphabets. Been teaching 17 years, and not once has alphabets helped.
The Artist Block how do i learn then without useing
For me it’s either I start using alphabets or straight up quit and never draw anything again. I wasn’t born with the ability to draw
thats a shame, i wish you didnt have that outlook. we can all draw dude, i was born with less than zero drawing ability, i drew stick figgures up until i decided to learn and teach myself. most people cant draw for crap, but you learn, you put in the work and effort and you get the skill in return.copying dowsnt really teach much and doesnt give anyone skill.
dude... you chose the worst fucking examples tho. Theres plenty to be learned from style alphabets. You just have to know how to apply and study them.
Alphabets are good for beginners
That's exactly who suffers the most from alphabets those are exactly the ones who should avoid alphabets
