I remember I watched a dvd that helped me alot with wildstyle, I think it was called The future of graffiti. Go google it, you can maybe find a download for it or something

also grab some graffiti magazines too, youd be surprised at the inspiration those things practically hand out to you. keep an open mind on trying different styles and youtube does have some good ones you just gotta find some good artists. search graffiti black books and stuff like that. a really good artist i suggest you took a look at is Cortes NYC. hes phenomenal. your brain will turn into dust, thats how bad hell blow your mind.

You're already trying to buy paint and 'legit markers'. Thats not what its all about. Just draw with a sharpie or a pen for that matter. You shouldn't even consider buying a mop until youve sketched for a few months at the very least.

I didnt once ask for paint and mops...
I've been drawing, for about 3-4 years now, just never got a style or anything, never put my all into it, it was just a thing on the side, now that I'm REALLY interested in graffiti, I asked if anyone knew a site where I could get some markers that dont fuck up whenever I try to use them. So I asked for something legit. This could've been settled easily by you linking me a site, where I could get everything I want or need. Which I'm going to again ask.

take donald's advice jay. you don't need top of the line stuff yet, start with some decent markers and work your way up and develop a preference for different things. since you should be on paper, try getting some paint markers made by either sharpie or decocolor. and get some colored pencils and experiment with that stuff and expand accordingly. try out these sites:

bombingscience.com like arnor said,
artprimo.com,
33third.com,
and oinkartltd.com

stick with the basic generic stuff first.


So while I was on my way back from florida, on the plane's trays there are advertisements of looney tunes. I was bored so I copied one of the characters onto paper and added other stuff. it was not traced, just straight up freehand with the tray as a reference.


The graffiti was all me, just bugs bunny was copied. It turned out looking a big different than the tray whereas the arm holding the carrot isn't as long as the one on the tray and I made his thumb and pointer finger overlap which the one on the tray did not.
But here it is :)

And Alex, this is better, but still a bit sketchy with the 3d. For example, if you look at the W, the left-most arm of it has 3d on both sides of it. Whereas the rest of the letters do not follow that pattern. Don't use arrows. Work on simple letter structure first. You have potential to develop a nice style. But for now, mainly focus on the simplicity.

Lets see some more!
