Lol yeah, as we dig deeper, we end up seeing that all fundamentals intertwine with all or most others. Fundamental relationships is what leads into the topic of compensators ( how we break the rules without actually breaking any rules)
Hi! Graphic designer, here! Visual weight is related to how much "presence" a visual element has; how much it constrasts with what surrounds it. Elements with visual weight are what you simply can't ignore; what grabs your attention first. There's exceptions, though: imagine you have a bunch of thick blocky letters, and in the middle a very delicate thin one. The thick blocky letters have the most visual weight. But in that context, the delicate letter is what stands out, therefore grabbing your attention - because contrast creates focus. Hopefully, this was helpful!!
Hey Ash, we're still working out the physical copies. No exact date when they'll be ready, but maybe a month or so. We're still working out some issues with the book. For full transparency, we've decided to go with amazon publishing as they allow us to keep our right to the digital copies (something no other publisher wanted to do). We've ordered proofs of the book and it's come back with some issues and some quality inconsistencies Im not happy with. Once we see what the issue is and how we can fix it, we'll start pushing the books out and promoting those.
@@Theartistblock Awesome! i’m excited for that my birthday is in about a month, will probably order the collection as a gift for myself, Amazon is quite reliable and fast as well, and if it allows you to retain your rights i think that’s a great option
it is from a person painting the word fler I believe it is a fleroner or just flerone. Of course this channel here wont credit anybody and just take pictures from random people to profit of...
@@Theartistblock So, over the past 4/5 days so many writers have been bombing this unfinished skyscraper, Im talking like over 100 pieces and throwies on the outside of the building. It looks insane.
ya know, someone (might have been you) recommended this a while back and I've thought about it ever since. I've been thinking of teaming up with someone else to have them do the interviews, simply because I don't think I've cut out for making good interviews but I might have to give it a try because its a great idea
It will give a different aspect as an artist, and the world of graffiti but of course it’s up to you More aspect to the channel I’m not saying nothing wrong with it. I think you handle every aspect of lettering and style when it comes down to it keep going.
Lol I do, that's what these videos are. You already know how to draw the elements you want, the issue is you don't know where to place them, how to place then and what effect they have when you place them in your work. These videos teach you all of graffitis basics, from there you just have to apply that info to the thing you're adding to see if it's going to negatively or positively effect your work. For example, if I want an underline but it keeps looking weird. I'll ask myself, is it too far from the letters therefore adding space, resulting in anticipation and weight? Maybe its too close and cuts through a letter diminishing negative space and obscuring structure. Thats how it works, even for wild styles
Man I have made more progress this morning after watching some of your fundamental videos than I have in years! Thank you
Thank you GRIM your work means a lot to us.
Man I have a lot more respect for this kind of art there is so much more for me to learn HOLY.

i was gonna ask what element of art does weight fall under. turns out it's all of em lmao

@@Theartistblock "all fundamentals intertwine with all or most others" that's a quote! put dat in a book!
Yo this sure as hell can teach a lot.
I’ve been trying to understand the weight idea for a while I’m for sure buying the book.

When you gonna have interviews, with some artist on your channel, it should be interesting
