Description wahey! my first ever freehand spraycan piece.

This is the first time i ever used spraycans for something like this so yeah i know it aint amazing but i think it's a pretty cool start considering used a photo of me for reference as usual ,this took a couple of hours spread over a couple of days and is sprayed on my studio wall.

Cool wall piece! I'd love to see what you'd do with a whole room (ceiling and all).

funnily enough this was my first ever try!! i can do a lot better now, but it always means sacrificing my lovingly decorated studio walls

gonna look into getting some a1 size foam boards or something to work on, make it a bit more portable and easier to sell hahah

cheers for checking out the piece

heey good to hear from you

Actually i took a photo of myself in the mask and hoody, photoshopped it, printed it, then sketched the basic outlines on the wall lightly with apencil, then i just started with the flat colours and black parts,and then built up on them, this was with Montana Gold paint

for tips i'd say , get a bit of wall paper or something and test out each cap, at different lengths, to make sure you ahve the control right. For tight line syou must be like 1mm from the wall and very fast,for large coverage,up to 12 inches away from the wall,slow

for anythign specific just ask

cheers for checking it out

nice especially for your first freehand and big i like that. keep practicing only main thing ii would say is the hood look a little weird on the upper right like extra big and alot of dead black space.

The right (his left) filter is down too far. Step back and look at what you're doing as you're doing it so you can get the proportions right. Remember, no matter how big the line is, for now, you want to do it in a single continuous spray.

Next time, don't stencil the front filter.

hey ! nice to see a comment from you !! sweet handstyles by the way !!

well um i agree kinda on the filter although it is like that in the photograph i went a bit overboard on the shadow on that side, and I DIDNT STENCIL anything! im quite flatered i did that bit by hand

cheers for checking it out mate,i will definitely bear what youve said in mind when i go at it again

eheh
cant agree more
I was painting my house too
but lately I am simplistic (whatever that mean)
So I have prefered a very light green

quite basic, solid, light...
