Aight.. for those who noticed I been doin a lotta guides lately. Thats cos my moms took my hard disk out my old PC in san diego, sent me the shit in the mail to put in this computer... So I got all my old school shit back.

Ima construct this guide out of pics I took a couple years back of a piece I did in san diego... *sigh* I miss the weather there -_-

First you have to come up with a sketch, this will be the blueprints for your piece.
It's a good idea to start with simple straight letters if your not experienced with aerosol warfare, then you can advance to more complex pieces when you have mastered the painting process...you may want to start off fast but it will be worth it to learn your ABC's before writing a novel......


Then when you find the wall you want to bust it out on, you buff the wall....any color will do but usually a nice color will set the tone for the piece.. As you can see I buffed over some other muhfuckas hard work. Its probably better if you dont do that cos they might get cut if its worse than their shit...


Next put up your basic sketch so you can see where and what your going to color...this is also where you can decide if you want to alter the piece if you want , like adding things or deleting things...like in this piece, I removed the arrows on the sides cause I wasn't feeling em at the time...and you can change things like that.....


Now you color in your letters, thats where your going to blend the colors or you can just fill it in one color, I like to lay my base colors down and do fills into and ontop of them but there are many different ways to do it...this is just one..


After you get your base colors and fades down... you can add some fill ins..


Then after your fillins you can do your outline, shines are also important because they really give a nice affect to the piece if done right, 3D which you can experiment with, and double outline, trim or forcefield or what ever the fuck YOU call it. You can usually pick a bright or viverant color that has nothing to do with the colors of the piece...it will make it stand out more..like my piece is greens and blues with a little nutmeg....and I put a watermelon double outline around it...but it contrasts the whole piece but at the same time kinda makes you follow the piece around and look at all the different parts of the piece....kind of a guide for you eyes.....like a tourguide for you piece...


And thats how OMB used to roll... And then you snatch yaself up a stereo, lay down some cardboard in front of that shit and dance.

Hip hop to the core, yo.
