Spray Paint Art II - Cities of the Red Night

[LeFrogDog]

Hate when the original audio is replaced by crappy music

[TechnicPulse]

How would I make cities like you did in this one? What kind of strokes should I do and can I overlap to add more "buldings" without ruining the building behind it? I find those REALLY cool lol. Thanks

[sinfuledge]

Pretty awesome! Check out My glow in the dark Space Painting on my Page! thanks.

[ldiggy132]

I'm just starting this and I don't fully understand how to make buildings and mountain any tips or tools I should use

[CouchPotatoe97]

@ldiggy132 im sure this is very late but you do mountains a lot like planits.

[ldiggy132]

@CouchPotatoe97 thank you very much and also one quick question what kinda paper or material do you paint on

[CouchPotatoe97]

@ldiggy132 well you do have to use poster board but you can use whatever size yyou want. i like 11x14'', 14x22'' or cut 4 inches off the 14x22'' for 14x18''. you can buy them at almost any store like walmart or target. hope this helps.

[ldiggy132]

@CouchPotatoe97 thanks alot do you use devient art

[CouchPotatoe97]

@ldiggy132 im not sure what that is, lol, but if its a brand of spray paint i like rustolyme, krylon, and montana gold

[hotchettolover]

WAt abOut DA SpAy pAinT..?

[killermonkeypeople1]

@hotchettolover wal mart spray paint works good

[bored693]

@hotchettolover english please???

[jmang74]

You can use posterboard but I usually use the smooth side of canvas so that when i spray paint i don't have to worry about the paper part of the posterboard coming off (it has happened to me before and it does get messy lol) or the posterboard blowing around or something

[hotchettolover]

Wat kind of poster paper do u need...could I use graffiti spray paint.?

[adgerggg]

amazing!!!!!!!!!

[zainkool]

I'm having trouble texturing, im using kylons clossy spray paint, over ever when i run a magazine or newspaper, there is never any sticking, and I start seeing the white from the poster board. why is that, I can't keep seem to get the cool textures.

[henryhammer]

so clever

[drumkilla]

what sort of spray paint is this? is it car paint? or grafitty paint? couse i'm using decoration paints, but it doesn't seem to texture as nice as yours... i'm using wax paper, but that's not the problem, couse manny people use that... could it be the paint?

[JJKAKEESH]

@drumkilla just buy rustoleum spray paint. its what i use. and im a graff artist as well as an abstract aerosol artist.

[freeze808]

keep playing around with it you will figure it out.. its not the paint

[drumkilla]

lol, it was the paint... it was fast drying paint... not that good for this kind of work... thanx anyway! :)

[7chris77]

wow buddy i just started doing this type of art and you very good at it man. how long have you been doing it for and what tool did you use for making that awesome city?? it looked like foil on a straight edge or something. keep up the great work man.

[anotherhoe]

wow asewome stuff there mate but man u got sum wacko music playing

[kranix01]

what kind of material do you use?? does it make a difference. Im a beginner at this. I got bored of graffiti lol.

[CattleBaron]

Most important is thin glossy posterboard you can get at drugstores in the school supply section (Cheaper if you can find it wholesale somewhere); with clearcoat spray paint you can kind of re-wet the paint so your newspaper doesn't stick; razor blades work for small detail engraving; some folks use magazines or wax paper instead of newspaper, personal preference I guess. Hope this helps!

[DirtyFaderheadGrrl]

@CattleBaron

Is there any particular spray paint you use? There is many different kinds, all I can find in the stores is gloss which shoots at an angle. I only been doing this for about a month or 2 now. Watching videos trying to pick up techniques :).

[DirtyFaderheadGrrl]

@CattleBaron

Also, I see some people use fire torches on their work, and use a type of spray paint that doesn't color it. But adds a bit of gloss of sorts.. What's the purpose of that?

[NinjasBlueiPod]

@DirtyFaderheadGrrl Its so the painting dries instantly. They use clear spray paint so it won't mark the painting if any drips.

[DirtyFaderheadGrrl]

@NinjasBlueiPod Ah alright I see now :)

[thockoro]

@CattleBaron Quick question... I find that some paints seem to mix of come to the surface with little bubbles, let's say I make a layer of red and black on top, the red starts to come to the surface. Do you think it has something to do with the kind of paint or do you have any other advice?

[TommyWithSprayPaint]

@thockoro i've found that if you use different brands of paint that tends to happen. make sure you're using the same brand of paint.

for example, if you do red and blue krylon underneath, and then put black rustoleum over it, the krylon will bubble through the top layer.

that's all i can think of.

[thockoro]

@TommyWithSprayPaint hey thank you for the reply, come to think of it this is quite consistent with my experience. cheers

[TrapperJohn5719]

@thockoro I've found that often if I do not thoroughly shake the can, I get that or if I mix manufacturers, it can happen as well. Try to stay with one maker.

[aryan2687]

The planets are absolutely beautiful however the perspective in your city is messed up, at one hand you have the viewer looking up at the buildings from below yet your horizon line is placed in a contradictory spot indicating a higher viewpoint.

[Valkyrie182Jaguar]

You're Right!! hahaha. His horizon Should be really low.

[chuckwier]

@aryan2687 who care

[chuckwier]

@aryan2687 who cares

[supernumpty]

LMAO you make that look so easy, I've been having every problem possible from spray cants dripping, to paint drying too quickly... Love this picture, really amazing keep up the good work :)

[catboxcrazy]

kickass! i am a space painter too, although i just use acrylic paints & canvas. love your work :-)

[chucholetsm8one]

although it looks good, there shouldn't be a city there since with all those planets are that close there should be an insane gravitational pull. Not possible. Instead make it one to symbolize Nibiru approaching. The way you do it is more impressive than what you painted.

[57Harps]

I am Prince Planet with a medallion on my chest fighting wrong from right.

Thankyou for spray painting my planet into

your art work....[WTF..ihearyousaying..­Ha]
