    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!

    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!

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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!

    • @S1VE

    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.
