Download the file that is compatible with your program, and open it in the program to begin drawing. Once you've drawing inside, you can export your drawing as a JPG or PNG, and email it to the artist block. We'll take the drawing and put it into our sketchbook and update the files in link above.

2:42 - people not into graff don't know how common that is.. roaches, spiders, whatever - all appear to be liking the smell of paint [sometimes they can be spared, but all situational obviously]
Ive been stuck on trying to make a throwie, i feel its because of the last 3 letter of my name, which is ODO. They are almost the same, and i cant find a way to make it work, or make it so the letter look seperate do you have any tips?? Also i would change my name but it has alot of meaning to me so i would rather not.
OK, so first I'd like to start by saying NEVER at any point in your graffiti journey change your name because something is hard. Every name has their challenges and hurdles you'll have to overcome. This is only one of the many hurdles you'll face, but to get past this, the solution is always the same. Learn the fundamentals. The more you learn then the more capable you'll become. That leads us to our tip. Study tags because while this may seem unrelated, tags will teach you more about the letters structure, and each letters function with certain parts of their anatomy. Since your o and D are so similar, we have to make sure we emphasize the stem of the D as this is a defining structure point. You don't need much either, you just need to see a little of the stem to know its straight and not curved. From there, you can emphasize the negative space in the D making sure it's a fully drawn closed counter, while making sure the O use a line or symbol to indicate its counter (you can swap how you treat the counters for the letters, so long as the D is different). Lastly you can give the D a slightly more flat top, while keeping the O rounded and simple. Now keep in mind these are only suggestions. There is countless solutions for the issue you're having but ALL of these solutions require you to study and practice the basics more. If you don't study and practice then you won't be able to effectively implement any of these solutions, not even the ones I suggested. Regardless, keep practicing this name, don't change it
@@TheartistblockThank you so much for all of your advice, I've used your videos to study and practice and i will continue to do so. getting this direct advice from you is going to go along way. once again thank you so much and have a good rest of your day.

Don't forget you can always play around with a lower case letter d.
Great one
Hold up im a little surprised the tag on the front of the book says 'suki' not 'grim'..but I'm glad the physical copies are finally out
lol suki is my dads name. the intention is for the second book to be my brother's tag name and the third will be my tag name. 3 Books, 3 generations of graffiti artists lol
Hey grim, if I paid for the ebook, can I get a physical copy now that it’s out? If I can, let me know and I’ll go to the website to try to get it
I see no reason why not, you should be able to purchase it on amazon with the link in the description. here ya go www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZP12VTX
