Started out about 1-2 months ago and after looking at various different people/videos i always find myself coming back to your videos. Not only do you go into every little detail, you explain it so well that i can grasp it after watching it through once and get back to designing my own stuff. Thank you so much for the great content. Looking forward to future videos!
I just started drawing graffiti and it’s this kind of hobby where I don’t put any expectations on myself. This is what makes it fun. I miss my childhood because all my hobbies were easy back then since I wasn’t trying to be great and perfect. I love watching people like you that just go with the flow yet share all their knowledge online. Makes me motivated to start once the semester gets a bit more chill.
So good to hear and see someone using the same process that I used when I was self taught. Back in the 80’s we didn’t have the Internet. We had one book. Subway Art or w/e it was called….. and it was so hard to get ahold of. Then we got just one page in Source magazine when that came out later. So it’s nice to see that I wasn’t alone in my creation process and there isn’t a wrong and right…. The deeper B-Boys with their classic style sometimes would give us wild style guys a bit of shit when we broke away from their style. Back then they weren’t having none of that where i was from. Our weird throw ups and wild style lettering was fine after all. It’s weird that I’m 47 now and in a deeply professional career and and I still will do some quick throw ups on white boards I’m offices here and there and people are always commenting lol. I still have tons of caps laying around. After seeing this vid I’m now itching to go out and get up a bit. Great vid, keep it up! Subbed!
Man i have been trying to master lettering since 3 decades believe it or not and never got my hand on the "magic formula". This tutorial is the every first that is actually extremely helpful. Repositioning the dots keeps the original letters still in place and im kinda starting to get the grasp of it. Will still require an insane amount of practice obviously. Thanks so much for this. I would really love to see a tutorial where you go into even more detail about changing the basic shape of letters in a way that they still keep their core features (of being well..a letter)
Awesome tutorial man! Probably one of the best tuts for explaining the thought process that goes into each letter. I would love to see a tutorial on adding the final outline/stroke and finishing touches like highlights, extra little lines, and background shadows. I've watched the letter B video from a few years ago, but I feel your style is much more polished and so clean looking now it would be great to see a revisit to finishing because this tut is so good at the construction part. Also, these types of letters are a lot easier for me to practice than the letter B tut. Thanks dude!
Thanks for the feedback boss! I have lots to say about the finishing off a piece haha I was almost tempted to start mentioning it here. I’ll definitely do a deep dive on it!
this actually helped me so much. I never really had the motivation to even try to improve anything other then my tags but I finally decided hey maybe I should, I find it really awesome and I'm hoping to get a lot better through this year.
Only discovered your channel due to a school assignment, and damn am I glad for that. I usually just draw character designs but there’s something so mesmerizing about graffiti style art and your videos are incredible for inspiration. I’m definitely gonna keep watching your videos.
Really enjoyed ur video!!! Been quite a few years ( was 14yrs old when 1st did letters n now am 52yrs old) since I have drawn out any kind of graffiti style lettering...glad to see that there are still peepz out there that enjoy the style of art. As I mentioned haven't really drawn any graffiti style art in some years. Loved the video...til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!
SIVE IS GOD!!! ( just a doff of the hat to ya bud!! from an old school (61 yrs. old) guy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you explain your methods and help bring the art into a more achievable dream for anyone who loves, admires and is generally in awe of the sheer artistic nature of graffiti lettering. PLEASE keep em coming brah!
i am just perusing these graffiti vidz here on youtube. but you are a straight teacher man. dig the vibe. i feel like im learning and feel confident that when i try this stuff i'll have some idea of what im doing, cuz ur explanation is thorough. keep it up
look at how he explains his style. This is what I am saying. Every letter and section of graffiti has a meaning. I honestly love seeing artwork on dull ass walls and trains. People who think this is vandalism just needs to understand that they're not just going outside taking drugs, but giving a meaning to the world. I think not climate change will end the world, but the dull streets, walls, and trains, will. ❤ respect to this very man.
Since I couldn't have it, I stopped drawing, but when I came across this video, I started to enjoy it again, because you helped me a lot! Thank you very much, I never knew how to draw letters Etc... Thank you very much indeed! ❤️
This is actually fascinating. I’m coming at this from the perspective of projection mapping and VJing and think there’s a lot of inspiration to be had here, especially as i’ve always had an interest in this style
I've been doing graffiti for over 4 year's but I started just doing tags around a year ago and now my actual style looks terrible and I am just learning a whole new style by using this vid as reference
This is the video I've been looking for.. The best video I've saw yet.. I learned a lot...going to watch it again.then start practicing..thank you.. Ricky..Atlanta, Georgia
Brilliant. My go to art style has been watercolour but I'm working on an abandoned space piece with graffiti and I think I'm hooked. Great video, very helpful. Thanks.
This was SO helpful! I’m a tattoo apprentice and I’m working on lettering, before this I have never done graffiti type lettering. I will definitely be checking out your other videos!
thank u. all ma life i was looking at others drawing and i was thinking that i was never able to do it. of course God helped me change. He removed the spirit of depression and changed my mentality and u gave me the guidelines to give it a try
thanks SIVE this helped alot i was trying to do letters without tracing around the letter i wanted to so it was alot harder and i never really added style to anything so thanks this helped me so much :)
This is a really good video.wish i had this back in the early 80s.i use to just check out how everyone else was taggin and just like tried copying them and came up with my own style.just playing around doodling in school.you dont wanna bite someones style but use it for a reference when starting out.i would just tag my name and outline it just like you are explaining and built off from that.but you are way better and more in dept than i was and are.much respect.the "s" was always one of my hardest letters to do.all my letters were tight but the "s".it just didnt work.so i would just make a reg.one.it made a unique piece.
Not only do you teach how to do certain techniques quickly, you add dimension and creativity...Keep it up! I'm so happy to be able to learn from one of the best
I haven't don't graffiti sketching in 20years😢 Decided to go back to it, just for fun and to slow down everyday life. Very helpful video, as back in the day I did it pure by a feel, no structured process as this one. Thanks
Maybe I'm not aiming for pieces but i had problem with finding more aggressive straight letter style. I've been doing only simple symetrical boxes that i dont like, the biggest problem for me is the letter R because i try to put round edges to it that just don't fit. This video has helped me a lot, not only in straight letters but for pieces in the future, your work is sick, thanks a lot!
Brilliant explanation, just stumbled on your video - new sub. Practicing art all my life and this is one of the best break downs of Graffiti. Rad art - thank you. 💚✊💚
amazing tutorial, really well spoken and demonstrated and appreciate the transfer of knowledge. I have a long way to go but this is a great place to start. THANK YOU!
Legendary video dude perfect please make more videos in this formula it’s fantastic and only 2 years old and ur most viewed!!! Very impressive this exact style is bound for success!
I love your style of letters. Plus I used this style and wrote my son's friend's name on a keychains and they loved it. Thank you, creative person for posting. Plus watching you draw your letters makes me realize thats best for what I want to do. I was actually going to attempt using spray paint, but that's a bad idea. Who amI kidding. It takes years to master spray paint im sure. Stick to what you know, I can draw and I can copy. 😊
Thanks for this it's my grandsons birthday tomorrow got him a pack of paint pen markers for an extra present I watch them during the school holidays he was trying to draw this type of art he 10yr
Appreciate the detailed instructions for starting Graffiti lettering but one can use these structures to play on. I haven't seen anyone do a video like this...well I have but not as well as yours. I love drawing letters!! I never know what I'll end up with because ideas will start to flow and as you have said just play around.
This is what I'm trying to explain to you can you create a piece so enigmatic that it doesn't consist of any stylized letter fonts or is it just the "Alphabet" you're interested in? First you have to start with a wave not a shape.
Your tips and how to’s are so good they have helped me so much. I feel like in other tips from other people go from something simple then a huge jump to something difficult and don’t focus on a certain style
Damn SIVE I remember i use to watch you make postal stickers with crayola markers like 10years ago! I just stubbled across this video, you made a lot if progress 💪🏻
First video I’ve watched as I wanna get into this to possibly do with tattooing later on. Awesome tutorials and so easy to understand man. You clearly know what you’re doing 👌🏼
ive been working on environment pieces and I've never done graffiti before, but I thought it would fit the vibe of what I'm drawing and seeing this made me realize how awesome making graffiti is lol, definitely gonna stick some more graffiti into my art and maybe make some stand alone graffiti pieces o:
Thnx heaps for sharing your knowledge i learnt so much. An old gurl stepping bak into graffiti and wanting to explore to embrace my embroidery business. I thank you for your detailed tutorial. Look forward to watching more and checking out your shop. Peace and Love

Haha all self taught here too! Amazing to hear the desire hasn’t left haha nothing like a clean throw! Great to hear you’re back at it
The Source magazine graffiti page... Man those were the days!!!
All tutorials should be like this. Actually the most helpful tutorial I’ve ever watched
So glad you enjoyed!

Go your own way, I'm sure after 3 decades you have a style that makes sense to you?,
One of the best tutorials I've seen!!!! Clear instructions. Not hard to follow and no unnecessary stuff. Nice!!!
Big ups! Best of luck on the creative endeavors!
this is so cool!! i love how, instead of telling us how to write a letter, you give us the tips to make our own!!
Imagine doing this with spraypaint on someone's business. I can't wait to try tomorrow on paper
Awesome tutorial man! Probably one of the best tuts for explaining the thought process that goes into each letter.

@S1VE do you have a video specifically dedicated to shadowing? I'm finding that most challenging as a beginner
I agree shadowing is hard. I’m sure folks would appreciate a through tut on that as well!
@@nicole_5957 he does
THIS IS MASTERCLASS QUALITY CONTENT

in india , graffiti is not famous but i like it a lot... now i will be one of the very few people to paint the city
thanks a lot👍
i was scared to commit to stretching out my letters while following this tutorial but glad i did. i still need to learn shading and detail accents
Great to take it one step at a time
thanks SIVE this helped alot i was trying to do letters without tracing around the letter i wanted to so it was alot harder and i never really added style to anything so thanks this helped me so much :)
This really help me and understand about graffiti thank u for so much for the great content.
This is a really good video.wish i had this back in the early 80s.i use to just check out how everyone else was taggin and just like tried copying them and came up with my own style.just playing around doodling in school.you dont wanna bite someones style but use it for a reference when starting out.i would just tag my name and outline it just like you are explaining and built off from that.but you are way better and more in dept than i was and are.much respect.the "s" was always one of my hardest letters to do.all my letters were tight but the "s".it just didnt work.so i would just make a reg.one.it made a unique piece.
If this was a class I could have taken in college, I wouldn’t have dropped out 😂
i might cry ive wanted to do graffiti for so long and couldnt because everything was too complicated.. this helped so much thank you!!
will you post the structure to each letter like you did on your throwie graffiti tutorial? love the content man keep it up!
wooops forgot to do an overlay for the alphabet. pause at 24:10 for the core. you can use the , and . key to scrub frame by frame.
Not only do you teach how to do certain techniques quickly, you add dimension and creativity...Keep it up! I'm so happy to be able to learn from one of the best
Very kind! Big thanks, and best of luck on your creative endeavors
Man! This reminds me back in the days when I used to tag up..

Welcome back!
@@S1VE 😁✌️ I love your stickers. I'll probably buy a bunch very soon 😍
I just used your voice, and guided my letters. I wasn't even looking up. Thanks again. 😂
It’s crazy how ppl still do graffiti. I remember I use to in the early 2000s. And it’s been around since 80s I think. Dope
No critiques, but I really like your voice, it’s easy to listen to. You’re helping me with all of this stuff I’ve been wanting to do, so thank you :)
Listen up bro don’t ever stop making videos this was the BEST AMAZING VIDEO YIU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HELPED ME
Thanks man 🙏 you're probably my #1 reason for continuing graffiti!
Haha trust that the creativity is alive and well!
Watched like 2 minutes and started improvising a lot and im happy with the result
Super good video for beginners! I will definitely send this to new writers who need help. Great work SIVE👊👑
Big ups Phille!
This is one of the most helpful tutorials I’ve ever watched for anything 👍🤣
Love the alfabet drawing!
I started 3 years ago and this still helped me lol
Always fun to hear a new take! Glad you had some take aways
This is cool. I kinda already do a graffiti type of style but I’ve never thought of it this way
Bro it was extremely helpful.🔥🔥
Graffiti crosses the line between art and literature. Its beautiful
I’ve been into graffiti for years this even helps me believe it or not , keep doing your thing bro
I'm saving this to my art playlist thank you love it

Wtf.. tried this technique and holy smokes i actually really like what i did there. Thank you❤️
The secret sauce doesn’t lie haha!

Yoooooo this was so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 & INFORMATIVE‼️‼️…good vid mane💪🏾💯🔥
I could watch all day bro it's mesmerising watchin you create great work just wish I'd of had opportunity to watch this stuff when I was younger
Art is timeless haha hopefully it helps inspire some new creativity
This was the video I’ve been looking for. Very good teaching.

Awesome to hear to first go was a success! Spray paint is so fun too, you have to give it a try
Solid Work! Thanks for the tutorial. For anyone looking to learn from scratch. I highly encourage you to begin here.
Man you’re such a good teacher
I like talking to other graffiti writers because they always collaborate with passionate ideas 💡 🙄
Respect brother
Ive never even thought of writing graffiti, i probably never will, but you make a fantastic video!
Thanks bro, this was super useful for me !
Glad it helped!
I can't stand the feeling of that kind ofbpen on paper. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. *shivers*
Your alphabet is sick I love ❤️ it.
Thanks for this it's my grandsons birthday tomorrow got him a pack of paint pen markers for an extra present I watch them during the school holidays he was trying to draw this type of art he 10yr

I never know what I'll end up with because ideas will start to flow and as you have said just play around.
So bro you have a lot of energy. You really should talk about where the point of light is coming from when you show your three dimensional pieces
This is what I'm trying to explain to you can you create a piece so enigmatic that it doesn't consist of any stylized letter fonts or is it just the "Alphabet" you're interested in? First you have to start with a wave not a shape.
Your tips and how to’s are so good they have helped me so much. I feel like in other tips from other people go from something simple then a huge jump to something difficult and don’t focus on a certain style
“…it comes with a little bit of time and flavor” Words to live by…
Damn SIVE I remember i use to watch you make postal stickers with crayola markers like 10years ago! I just stubbled across this video, you made a lot if progress 💪🏻
I don't know why but the letter "Y" is my favorite letter to write in graffiti just because there's so much you can do with it.
Really really brilliant videos, I've just started grafiti and your channel has helped A LOT
First video I’ve watched as I wanna get into this to possibly do with tattooing later on.
Awesome tutorials and so easy to understand man. You clearly know what you’re doing 👌🏼
Awesome to hear! Best of luck with the creative endeavors

such a good clear articulate teacher
Bro very nice video! So detailed Its so good for beginners
Luv this!…I’m a magical sigil maker…going to add graffiti style 🙏🏻👍🖖
You should do a whole series of each letter of the alphabet! That'd be sick as fuk!!!
dude only a few minutes in and iv have learnt so much ! thanks heaps ! u legend.
I'm a seasoned writer and still got something from your video.
Dude I can’t thank you enough for this!
colours really tryna save the letters lives 😂
That alphabet at the end is super dope.
