anyone else watchin this thinkin almost every piece he says is toy, is actually kinda dope? like sure, i 100% agree a FEW of them are trashy, but others he rips on, i'd be more than impressed to see on a wall.
my work is shit compared to this. But im 17.. I've practiced for a few weeks now , no rulers, no expensive supplies, a lot of discouragement from family..
It’s just natural when I see my progression, I’m proud of my work and I know they were all relevant steps in my road to improvement. Thanks for checking out the channel!
i used to draw this type of stuff when i was young, and its interesting to see ppl do amazing work now that im older. i would have loved this channel back then, this gen is lucky no lie.
Damn; I haven’t touched my black book since I was in middle school (I’m in college now) seeing this makes me wanna get back to this, I miss it. Sick work tho
Serp my bruv, my dad was a graphic artist back in the days before computers. He had stacks of books of lettering and your work is right up there with any of it. I come from Newtown Australia where Graff us a really big deal and I have to say your work is the goods mate.
Dude, your work is freakin AMAZING. I love graffiti because no matter who creates it or what it says or shows it has meaning in it. People who do graffiti put their hearts in their work. Keep doing your amazing work. #lovegraffiti #beyourself
This is dope, I have gone back too looking at my old graffs n drawings, n I'm just like....umm ya idk what I was thinking lol practice does make perfect
a personal note on him being so hard on himself: my best mate is from ireland, and i live in australia and he commented that a lot of europe and the uk always put themselves down in order not to sound arrogant, and are self-deprecating by nature in comparison. he reckons americans and australians are alike in the way we arrogantly self-promote ourself. its all jokes really. just another part of the worlds humour
I’ve been drawing since I was 9 and I’ve been bombing since i was 14. I absolutely love graffiti I’m obsessed with it and always will be. From good ol bubble letters to wild style love it all. I do have to say this though man, I give you mad mad props. You’re actually good bro straight up for someone who started in 2013 like you said. You’re doing just fine bro. Stay Up!
I had an art teacher that expected me to be able to do the same thing as the people who had been in art for 3 years and it sucked. I basically just sat through class and did the fundamentals. I did learn a few things, but just those few.
Support on this video has been absolutely mad! Really appreciate the energy from you guys. Consider subscribing, loads more content on its way! #serpcreative
I loved your first two books, I used to draw graffitis back when I was younger and my stuff used to look the same. Even made those cutouts from magazines and put them onto my blackbook. Nice memories !
It’s crazy how close my progress in graffiti is to yours, like a lot of my early pieces look very similar to yours, I even wrote pieces for sheva (one of my favourites on TH-cam) and sive who I never really thought was amazing tbh, I was also always into cursive and done a lot of that, it sort of brought me into tattooing I was drawing roses and all sorts, it’s mental how much my journey was similar to you, iv done the single letters the big backgrounds everything over the years, watching this honestly took me years back remember pieces like yours. I never stuck into it as much as you have with other things like boxing being my main love and me never painting. It’s also weird to say but I applied for art and got stuck in a pottery class and that made me not like art as much I got bored of it. Iv done graffiti all the time but not consistently. My friend died and I started to sketch his name a little now but this has been a brilliant piece of inspiration thanks.
First of all pick ups brother. What a fun thing to look at. From drop the knife and after not to mention the building blocks before yes yes yes. Keep it up :-)
I LIKE THE FACT THAT YOU STUCK WITH IT, YOU STARTED OUT A TOY LIKE EVERYBODY DOES. YOU KEPT AT IT THO AND GOT SO MUCH BETTER. VERY INSPIRING THANKS SERP!! STAY UP.
Bro I’m from jerzy I’ve been writing since 95 Im nowhere near that. I’ve seen so many of the legends pieces with my own eyes in nyc ur progression has been insane ur definitely top notch bro.
ngl dude i keep watching this video over and over it’s just such a good video the art that u have made us just so brilliant. this video by itself has made u my fav yter
Tours yeah man! All about quality and quantity! There’s no shortcut you need to put hour into creating big and high detail packs to really gain some traction with your work! Drop me a message on IG!
Love your work SeRp i dont have any of my Blackbooks from back in the day, but sure was nice to see yours! Thanks for taking us back to the toy years! LoL
I remember my early graff days, using 08' 228s and home bargains markers, benching all the time, making homemade markers and using big chunky bingo markers filled with black ink, great times.
I started making sketches after I stopped like 3 years ago. Even the first ones you showed are better than everything I ever drew, why are you calling them bad? You are really talented and skilled, wtf.
My first couple of book are sketches that looking back aren't good in my eyes. Thats only because compared to the work I'm doing now they are so far in terms of structure and style. I am proud of all this previous work however as it was important for me to grow and develop. Thanks for checking out then channel man, hope you stick around.
HI please tell me if you have videos on the materials you use!!! I really enjoy graffiti and I prefer fine details so sharpies with fine points are my favorite. I’m wondering if you have suggestions as to where to find the best ones? That don’t bleed as much?
I am 15 and i've been doing graffiti since about 5 or 6 years too. Graffiti is my passion and im sketching every damn day. I would say i am pretty good by now.
SerpCreative what’s the best canvas and do you have to prime it first? The texture from the canvas shreds my markers and I can’t make straight lines! Thanks ✌️
Buy something called “gesso” you paint it on with a brush and it dries smooth, you can then sand it down to make it suitable for the media you’re using.
Were you ever in the US? I am pretty sure I caught one of your pieces in PA, unless it's a different writer who goes by Serp, the style looked similar.
Man you progressed fast! Great content. I've been drawing graffiti for like 25+ years and still am a toy. I feel like I understand the fundamentals but it doesn't translate to my drawing.
My question for you is even when you started, how did you come up with so many designs. Would you try to copy others styles or would you just sketch randomly. Bcuz I get stuck. I can only draw the same piece and find it hard to come up wit new ones
The fact he started doing all these crwzy styles so early blows me away I still don’t even color my work but man he makes me wanna start getting better omg
I'm 14 I'm trying to get into graffiti art, when I was in 5th grade my teacher was very good at it and would always draw me stuff I was wondering if u can give me some tips to help me get better
IM BACK! New video of me painting a graffiti style piece! th-cam.com/video/zMZ22wzb6OM/w-d-xo.html
anyone else watchin this thinkin almost every piece he says is toy, is actually kinda dope? like sure, i 100% agree a FEW of them are trashy, but others he rips on, i'd be more than impressed to see on a wall.
Mr_Trooper wow cheers man! Appreciate that.
Fr, for the most part I don’t even believe that any graff(other than obvious toys) are trash. I liked almost every piece out of those books.
Most will get capped
fax
Well, its reverse
You being so hard on yourself makes me feel shit about how bad my work is
No dude, that’s just my way of marking my progress.
yea its just him critiquing his own skills ! you shouldnt feel discouraged cause thats what he thinks of his OWN work not anyone else’s
Jonathan Park well said man!
Albert Cloud right 😂
my work is shit compared to this. But im 17.. I've practiced for a few weeks now , no rulers, no expensive supplies, a lot of discouragement from family..
as a person who is still just starting graffiti ,, to listen to you call all these impressive (in my eyes) pieces absolutely terrible is insaneeeeeee
It’s just natural when I see my progression, I’m proud of my work and I know they were all relevant steps in my road to improvement. Thanks for checking out the channel!
SerpCreative i understand it i do the same but it's still crazy to me! i love you work i will definitely continue watching ❤️
I appreciate that!
you will understand it when ur better.
believe me, they are terrible
i used to draw this type of stuff when i was young, and its interesting to see ppl do amazing work now that im older. i would have loved this channel back then, this gen is lucky no lie.

that means a load bro!!! big ups to your dad man
Only thing that I hate about this video is how much he’s putting himself down with the begging drawings, its pretty damn good tbh!
Safe man.
Stop saying there terrible! It making me mad
Gregory Bosaz it’s my work dude, showing the progress I’ve made. My original work is terrible.
@@SerpCreative bruh there not bad there good af
@@SerpCreative you need to work on your vocabulary too haha
and I love all the black and white work, it really allows ou to focus on the actual letter structure a lot more.
I just want to say none of your art is terrible! It is steps in a long journey of becoming something great!
Thanks brother!
Dude, your work is freakin AMAZING. I love graffiti because no matter who creates it or what it says or shows it has meaning in it. People who do graffiti put their hearts in their work. Keep doing your amazing work. #lovegraffiti #beyourself
Maddy Wolf too right!! Appreciate the positivity!

Joel Lown sage bro! Yeah man 100% true
As a person who is shit at graffiti, your ''bad'' pieces are masterpieces to me
Appreciate that more than you know bro. Keep at what you're doing!

And seeing the development of your style is idk I watched it
wow bro much appreciated
Always will be one of the best graff videos ever I’ve rewatched like 10 times him saying his work sucks makes me feel like even more of a toy
Wow thank you brother
I had an art teacher that expected me to be able to do the same thing as the people who had been in art for 3 years and it sucked. I basically just sat through class and did the fundamentals. I did learn a few things, but just those few.
Keep at it man! You can achieve anything if you put the work in.
Fundamentals are the most important thing to learn though. Style comes later.

Thanks brother!! Means a lot
never give up on your dreams and aspirations and remember to be kind and uplifting to each other and open minded and genuine.
Great stuff. What’s the best paper to be using paint markers on?
A high gsm silk one man. I normally only use paint markers for highlights in my books and instead save them for canvas work.
SerpCreative what’s the best canvas and do you have to prime it first? The texture from the canvas shreds my markers and I can’t make straight lines! Thanks ✌️

Hey,serp Can you suggest me how to Start Graffiti
Start with some basic drawing, practice some block lettering. Drop me a message on instagram if you need some tips man. @serpcreative
Thanks for replying i will try to do graffiti thanks alot
Me too
@@i.msurani9122 oooo su kam he
Man you progressed fast! Great content. I've been drawing graffiti for like 25+ years and still am a toy. I feel like I understand the fundamentals but it doesn't translate to my drawing.
Just keep at it man! I might be doing a tutorial soon about doing straight letter pieces so stay tuned man!
@@SerpCreative I feel I can do straight letters pretty good but when it comes to adding some style I fall flat haha.
Great pieces love them and the progression keep up the hard work !
Thank you very much! New video coming tomorrow!
5:17 y u skip that page
Wasn't graffiti related.
You're roasting your first book but that's better than the level im at now lol, just started a few days ago actually so im trying to practice a lot
High but realistic standards gets us closer to our goals. Nice growth!!!
Yeah man! Keep practicing
We’re do you get those hello my name is stickers
Search them up they called Eggshell stickers
Graffcity dude
Your work is amazing I wish I could do that any tips for me.
12:50 that is straight up either SEEN or SWET 😂 im guilty of it too
Fathom “Serp” it’s just really bad dude ahaha
What size (format) is your böackbook ? A4 OR A5 ?
My question for you is even when you started, how did you come up with so many designs. Would you try to copy others styles or would you just sketch randomly. Bcuz I get stuck. I can only draw the same piece and find it hard to come up wit new ones
Keep it up mate you can get inspiration from everything around you.
nice to see that progress man, beautiful work! keep on
Appreciate it! Thanks you for checking out the channel.
Just subbed love the art bud liked all the black and white👍

Man you don't understand how much I'd love that. Just nothing available in my area unfortunately.
Awesome work lad, heaps of improvement. And I feel a lot of people change their name bc they get too much heat.
The fact he started doing all these crwzy styles so early blows me away I still don’t even color my work but man he makes me wanna start getting better omg
Cheers man means a lot bro.
do you have a link for these blackbooks? im a beginner and really wanna get into graffiti and tags
No sorry they are really old haha
I'm 14 I'm trying to get into graffiti art, when I was in 5th grade my teacher was very good at it and would always draw me stuff I was wondering if u can give me some tips to help me get better
Currently I just go to websites and use their letters or words I want to be able to try and make my own
Just start with the basic and understand you need to walk before you can run.
Ive done a few videos on the basics.
This looks amazing good work
Gym4ing Laing cheers brother
I love it all 😍😍so amazing
thanks!!
Between 2014 and 2015 there is a style gap. Did you just practice a lot by yourself or watch any kind of videos or asked someone?
Borjitamoshy99 Clash Of Clans a whole lot of practice just on loose paper man, edges more towards lettering styles.
