Graffiti
 

A handful of you here know that I'm a fan of graffiti and like to mess around making my own. I don't very often anymore, but I have a large collection of stuff I've done, and I haven't been able to share any of it until recently. So here are some random pieces I've scanned:

Oil Pastel: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60324913/
Coloured Pencil: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60326492/
Misc. Pencil: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/60331971/

All except the coloured pencil one is quite old. That and the miscellaneous doodles were heavily 'corrected' to try and help give it less of a sketchy feel, but if anyone is interested I can provided unmodified versions.

Feel free to criticise, it won't really mean anything to me though. Just wanted to share. :) :-# :)

Heh, for a mess it's not bad. The main thing you might want to play around with though is getting a better flow with your colors, the third picture does that well but the first and the second both show a lesser migration in your colors. Graffiti is an art that especially builds a lot on blending your colors well together for your intented motive.

I don't have any hints on how to work with graffiti in general but I think you might want to watch some of Bob Ross' videos which are not only very interesting but also teaches you a lot about using traditional colors.

You're much too kind. ;)

I appreciate the critique, though I did imply that this is something I do randomly without putting a great deal of thought into it. All of the links I posted above amount to doodles, really. And usually when I doodle I don't get a chance to play with colours - the oil pastel one is actually one of the first. But thanks, though.
