Space Painting Tutorial (planets)

[10tonfeather]

there's a guy in mexico that does this but he does beaches and stuff not really planets

[iceygraffic]

@10tonfeather ive seen that guy

[mok0s1]

can these be done with normal sprays?

[CLKYFIREFLY13]

Awesome . Pls post more videos as i am tryna learnt. :)

[Kelvington]

That made my jaw drop open when you revealed the planet. Amazing! And I don't say that often!

[megacitationx]

where did you get all those spray paints?

[RadioDust1]

@megacitationx wal-mart for 96 cents/can. quality of paint doesnt really matter here but if it isnt working for you just try different brands for certain colors until you're happy

[megacitationx]

@RadioDust1 okay. Thanx. This helps alot! :)

[Osis181]

what kind paper you're painting on

[TheTHCLovesMe]

@Osis181 Poster board works and its pretty cheap. Canvas is great but a little more cost

[gutterglitterful]

It helped out a lot - i have a project i've been wanting to do which includes a space background but not idea how get it on canvas. thanks!

[TheRandomKid1001]

Do the planets have to have multiple layers of colors to make is 3D-ish?

[ByNatureFarms]

This is cool, Great job.

[Iamalwaysgodschild]

thanks so much for showing us how to do the stars!!! Great work! :)

[KellyTheKool1]

what kind of paper do you do these on?

[ishudbesurfing]

awesome! you made a masterpiece in like 2 minutes...

[cpuexpert]

Hey! What spraypaint do you use? Thanks in advance.

[Indigofire1o9Videos]

@cpuexpert He uses glossy spray paint. You can use any type, It will work :)

[cpuexpert]

@Indigofire1o9Videos I am on the Krylon website. What exact type?

[Indigofire1o9Videos]

@cpuexpert It should be called Gloss indoor/outdoor spray paint.

[EmilyLovesHerDogs]

Hi do you know the colors of the planets the only two I know the colors for is earth and that is blue and green and mars is the red planet could you tell me please and thank you and please sub and comment thank you

[ToySoldier84214]

I dig it. nice vid.

[sk8erkid9106]

what type of paper do u use?

[djka14]

What type of paper do u use? :)

[ARunForTheHills]

You had me at "tutorial of space."

[milkybar100]

What is the best paint to use and where can i buy it online?

[trashfellow]

what are u using on 1:52?

[levisarts]

@trashfellow Clear paint to make sure the under paint remains wet.

[aarongmoore]

Great video. I've typically used paper from a department store catalog (similar to magazine paper) and haven't used the crinkle affect you demonstrated. I want to remember to use it next time I paint. Thank you for sharing your techniques.

[MultiBlahdiblah]

@levisarts Alright, so I've been working on these for a while, and I don't understand what type or brand of paint you are using to make it so shiny, because the paint I've been using dries very rapidly and isnt that thick. Any advice on that?

[TheHydroGrower]

Hey i just wanted to ask do you use regular spray paint or a glossy one?

Thx

[levisarts]

@TheHydroGrower Glossy. 

[AveEnd]

Holy fuck dude you are AMAZING!

[HBbumb]

hey that was a sick tutorial and i really wanna start doing this can you suggest some paints and supplies to get?

[hmartins96]

what do you use to keep it wet and where do you buy it?

[Eclyse88]

this tutorial is legit, im going to walmart right now to buy some more spray paint

[McSneakyyy]

I don't even plan on doing this ever really. I just love this style of art.and if I ever do, this tutorial is badass.

[dunneoh]

thats amazing



[clutchndestroy]

@MRsteezy123 Yes, but wood involves sanding and usually a primer + a white gloss coat. I am currently doing a longboard with a space graphic, I've seen it done once already, but since I'm new to painting, I'm a little skiddish to just jump into my final coat.

[aryananeeka]

wow thx this to good

[Miister00]

this is much better than adobe photoshop ;)

[MRsteezy123]

can you use a wooden canvas for this ?

[webtoon999]

what can I use for the disc thing you put over the planet please reply

[levisarts]

@webtoon999 Anything round with a lip will work though experimentation will need to be performed. I use tops from cooking pots as well as some plastic dish plates. You can even use a Frisbee. Hope this helps you out.

[jacoblary]

@levisarts i tryed doing the stars but it tends to drip on the paper

[DARKleprechaun4]

Awesome!!!!! what kind of paper do u use to paint ?? thanks for the help!!!

[Indigofire1o9Videos]

I have never spray painted b4 but now you have got me inspired to go out and get some :DDD

[doubledip100]

Great video! Where did you buy the paints and how much did they cost?

[TheSteven5213]

The glossy paper is sold at wal-mart for 97 cents :) your welcome!

[gummiebearluvsu]

I reeeaaaalllyyy want to do this but...im only 12...and im a girl...but im juss soooo obsessed with it....i just dont kno where to start...

[RDBidkVideos]

I want to take this up as a hobby

[scubi96]

what paper do u use?

[bluprint79]

this was extremely helpful

thank you

[levisarts]

I use glossy poster paper. You can get it at Walgreens , Walmart or just about any school supply outlet.

[Sl1z3r]

@levisarts hey , sorry but I don't really get it in my language what's the kind of the paper, is it that one for photos or what? I'm starting doing it but I'm not sure if I'm doing it with the right type of paper

[hmartins96]

Hey levisarts, which type of papper do you use?

[dudeface03]

Spray Paint costs so much! any recommendations of where to get it from????

[levisarts]

@dudeface03 I don't know really. It is from place to place. Paint cost me about 2.50 a can here. I'm in Puerto Rico. I go for a generic brand in stead of say rust o-lium or krylon. I'm using harris brand atm, and I buy it at walmart.

[edwinlee95]

@dudeface03 do it center usually has sales where valspar is 2 50 a can

[icup728]

@dudeface03 lol there is some for like 98 cents

[icup728]

@dudeface03 i buy black and white for 97 cents and home depot or lowes. and i also buy basic colors at the same place for like 3 77. hope this helps

[acloves4g03]

@dudeface03 In wal-mart there's colored ones(gloss white,gloss white,red,blue,green,and gray) for 1:25 each but i forgot the brand.. hope this helps:

[eccsxt]

@MutR , I'll be there! Spaghetti! Yum!!!

[NIGHT454]

DOPE..... GOOD WORK AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND DIRECTIONS

[2unzArt]

Excellent vid.

[sparkalanio]

what kind of paint do you use by the way? im guessing it migt be just regular paint you can get at a michaels or just some art shop

[jexus23]

hey do you change caps and shit?

[levisarts]

@jexus23 I did a long time ago but now i got used to what comes on the can. Sometimes i use skinny caps but not really needed.

[Rick420Jam3s]

I think it's easier to spray it on your fingertips and flick it on... But that's just me

[JohnnyDazeProduction]

Hey dude I really like your stuff, I tried going to your website but all the links are broken on your site. Thought you might want to know in case you didn't. Keep making the paintings! peace

[1created1]

Great work! I'm a little concerned since you didn't use a mask or gloves. Any comments? That's been one thing holding me back from beginning it. Even when they're done outside they use ventilators? apparatus.

Also, how long does this art last? What is the best paper or canvas to use?

Thank you so much! Keep up the wonderful work!

1c1

[levisarts]

@1created1 I use a mask but in these vids i Was talking and then decided to dub them later. Gloves I never used before but I am going to start for sure. I would suggest everyone that wishes to try this us a MASK and GLOVES.

[Maraias8]

Very impressive this, my friend. This is the first time Ive seen this type of art. I'm willing to try this. Does this type of making require much training? What type of surface are you painting on? Regular paper?

Very impressed by this. Thanks for posting it on Tube!

[KaotickAnimalz]

How do you get a space vortex? I can't figure it out. Please help

[GamingImplosion]

some dude did this at my fair.. and i stepped oon it and he didnt make me pay!! he was cool :D

[thebman50]

Dude... your really good, I'm probabally gonna start doing this to

[IMMORTALsector21]

Love yo stuff god keep it up real inspiring

[TheSnowcoon]

vey helpful thanx!

[skr101274]

I wanna do this on my Xbox 360 case can i use krylon fusion spray paint for plastics to do this?

[be1right2back]

@skr101274 No, you don't have to do a thing, the heat from the xbox will probably vaporize the paint that got inside. no harm done!

[Nonithai]

sir what kind of paint spray you using ? thanks for this beautiful video i am 16 yrs old from Thailand and this is my passion.

[adiosk8er63]

if i wana do a large scale on sheetrock for a bed room would this this work the same as useing glossy paper? b.c im assuming ur using glossy paper

[ChandlerDoc]

@levisarts how far away do you hold the can from the surface your working on because when i do it it doesn`t go in a specific line like when you use the true blue at 1.21 it like goes in a line its not spraying every where hope that makes sense- Chandlerdoc.p.s. love the painting! :)

[levisarts]

@ChandlerDoc I'm about 6 inches away from the painting and kind of pumping the nozzle so it does not spray at full volume.

[TheKimkim21]

awesome!!!!

but i will try it from paint not spray :))

[BlackAbyss]

Standard spray paint? :O

Beautiful by the way.. i love it!! <3

[M3iscool]

This is awesome too bad you WILL DIE OF LUNG CANCER!!!! (no mask)

[M3iscool]

This is awesome do bad you WILL DIE OF LUNG CANCER!!!! (no mask)

[ieatbabiesforcereal]

Thanks for the vid! Helped out a lot. :))

[xxbunnysmashxx]

this man was kissed by god.

[jimjam154]

Good lord man. Get a respirator.

[MutR]

@juleboole god dosnt exist.

[MutR]

@juleboole Got evidence? because i dont have any, and neither does anyone else.

[MutR]

@juleboole lol removing your own comment? or is levistarts removing them? either way i think its funny cause youre a religious idiot.

[MutR]

@juleboole Ok cool, because i believe in the flying spaghetti monster. I dont have any evidence that he exists, but he does. You should just believe me. Come to my spaghetti church on wednesdays.

[CaptainTripps2010]

What kind of retarded bullshit is this anyway?

[utubeown1]

how would you do for blacklight effect?

[dudeface03]

This literally saved my A2 graphics, I was trying to do space pictures, and it really wasn't working and then I saw this and it literally saved me!

My project would be going terrible if it wasn't for this, now I'm creating awesome pictures to use! THANKYOU!!!!

[tha3immortals]

is this on a canvas?

[dudeface03]

What did you do between 2.04 and 2.06? Did you photoshop it?

It looks awesome btw :D 

[levisarts]

@dudeface03 no photo shop here. Just a pic i took no alterations at all.

[supermohog]

What material is painted on.???

[pheewy]

this is amazing! I am gonna use this as my background to my project, thanks man!

[levisarts]

@pheewy You are very welcome!

[tomagge]

i'm from Czech and here is something what nobody knows and we don't have wallmart...:-( is this paper to the printers?can i pay you and you send me papers from you?is it possible?

[tomagge]

hi can you help me?if i use two colors and i want tu something to scratch to mark something.it is imsopssible to get the white color.becouse the first color is in paper.i use colors MTN harcore.do you have some special papers,or do you make some prepare before you start.thank you.

[MFxMLTVxONE]

HEY THANX FOR THE STAR TUTORIAL, REALLY APPRECIATED PEACE OUT!

[RollsInPOWPOW]

Thanks for posting this with audio, I'm just getting into spray paint and it helps that you explain your methods a bit more. Do you ever let specific layers of color dry before peeling it away with the lined paper? I've found that if I dont let it dry the colors get mooshed and mixed too much. Perhaps there's a trick?

[wisecrak]

How long to these take to dry with so much paint? Ow yeah..totally subbed!

[levisarts]

@wisecrak 10-12 minuets. 

[alexhotmale]

talent talent talent brotha

[levisarts]

@alexhotmale practice practice practice brotha!

[rexcrossnet]

This looks very fun and easy! How much do you sell this arts for?

[levisarts]

@rexcrossnet I sell them for $15.00 plus S&H. And I assure you it is not as easy as it looks. Grab some paint and give it a try. Levi

[badsalad313]

@levisarts Ahhh and it didn't look easy to me in the first place, I'm screwed >.<

[levisarts]

@badsalad313 Na it just takes some time to get used to what you are doing. When you don't first succeed, grab a bigger hammer... I mean try again. :p

[badsalad313]

@levisarts Lmao, I like the way you think

[Dstratsapplehacks]

@badsalad313 im 15 and have horribe handriting but i a really goot at this you sould try it

[badsalad313]

@Dstratsapplehacks Yay, thanks for giving me hope haha... now I've just gotta buy some spraypaint and see how it goes

[CreatiefCanvas]

This is awesome.  What is the material you make it on?

Is it canvas/wood/paper?

Greetz

[levisarts]

@CreatiefCanvas poster paper

[WildInTheAk]

@levisarts what type of poster paper? Like i know its glossy, but what brand

[levisarts]

@WildInTheAk I use Crayola brand paper. Can be purchased at walgreens for about 1.50 a sheet.

[stludachris]

You can also just spray your fingertip and flick stars...thanks for the videos.

[comifaith088]

awesome =]

[evilninjamonkey666]

levi you're kinda adorable :3 and a great artist.

[bfbc2proo]

idk if im adding to much paint but when i lay down the paper to make the affects like you did with the white linied paper it just smears or removes basicaly all the paint

[levisarts]

@bfbc2proo What kind of paint are you using?

[bfbc2proo]

@levisarts spray color i think

[levisarts]

@bfbc2proo Hmmm. I think you might be using a thick paint. If so try something a bit thinner. It is very hard to put a little bit of paint when using thick paints.

[bfbc2proo]

@levisarts what kind of paint do u suggest i use?

[levisarts]

@bfbc2proo That is a hard one. I use harries brand But you may not be able to get that in your area. Also I mix because some of the harries colors are just blah.

[123cheeze456]

where do you get the round pan for the planet

[levisarts]

@123cheeze456 I just bout a cheap pot with the top at a food store, and tossed the pot. :P

[VeoCeoLeo]

Thanks for the tutorial I have been wanting to experiment with spray painting. Thanks again.

[MRH4PPY25]

what spray paint do you use? im a beginner and i dont know whats the best paint.

[CouchPotatoe97]

@MRH4PPY25 krylon or rustolium

[levisarts]

@CouchPotatoe97 Used to use Krylon only till they changed the nozzles. Rustolium is great paint but way to thick. I do use some painters touch by rustolium for some of the brighter background color that will not be mixed with the underlaying black.

[CouchPotatoe97]

@levisarts if take a pocket knife to the 2 lumpy things on the nozzel it sprays like normal

[loborneta]

what kind of paint is that? aerosol, acrylic? What What What???? or can u use booth?? please do tell me :-)

[crash112ful]

what kind of canvas do you use??

[levisarts]

@crash112ful I'm using gloss poster paper not canvas. You can find it at most school supply stores.

[crash112ful]

@levisarts thank you

[chowder933]

Heyyyyy. Just wondering what kind of paper you paint on to??? cheers

[XxxxXxxTOXICxxXxxxX]

wen people do space paintings and stuff do they use glossy paint or flat paint or dus it not matter?

[popflorida]

Why Are U teaching People how to paint?

[LazRkiller1]

beautiful paintings

[whitexandxnerdyz]

ahhh must get into spray painting and such :3 i really want to try this, i wonder if i'll be any good :( im currently painting with acrylics and on canvas so yeah shifting into this next maybe :3

[THEMASKEDAZN]

ich have eine fragge. haha what kind of spray paint you use? i've been researching for awhile and it seems brand is preference, but i see "glossy" "flat" and "satin" what should i get? i know for "clear" i want "glossy" correct? please get back to me ASAP! haha i'm dieing to get started on painting :D but i dont want to waste money buying the wrong stuff. thanks

-Robby

[levisarts]

@THEMASKEDAZN Glossy paint all the way man. Just make sure if you mix brands they will work with one another and you should be good. When you get into it send me some pics i would love to see your work! Hope this answers your fragge.

[THEMASKEDAZN]

@levisarts sweet! DANKE! and i was going to go with Rost-u-leum or whatever. it maybe awhile.. not 18 yet so i cant buy paint -_- but hopefully i get some real quick! :D and for planets i see you spray paint your colors before adding the lid.... in other tutorials people outline the planet and then add the colors. yours seems more logical. also would you recommend your way or the other way?

[giesbrecht09]

What kind of poster board do you use? I've heard glossy but just to be sure.

and where do you buy it?

[griddd1]

you use some special cans? or jast regular cans?

[QuamCelerrime]

Would this work on a guitar? I'm putting down two or three coats of black first, then this, and then around 8 coats of polyurethane. 

[4everinadayandahalf]

Man that was a great learning video, you should be a art teacher. good talent

[KRAZYkKID12345]

what paper do you use???

[giesbrecht09]

@KRAZYkKID12345 yes, I would like to know too

[herthaplayers]

1. danke für das video.

2. aber trotzdem ich hab heute versucht das nachzu machen und ich mache spacepainting auch erst seid 2 wochen

und ich finde meins sah fast noch ein bischen besser aus

[levisarts]

@herthaplayers glücklich könnte ich Ihnen heraus helfen auf gewisse Weise!

[KattieV]

awesome. just awesome.

[KattieV]

Holy moses you are amazing.

[popflorida]

when i make stars i put the paint on my fingers then flick on the painting

[asxc]

hi. can u told me what kind of papaer u use? plz thnks

[KillUnicornsx]

@asxc Most people just use posterboard

[drethy112]

i bought some cans from wallmart with little white things in the nozzles. taking them off made the paint all splotchy? is there anywhere you can buy different nozzles?

[lilmikey23333]

ok im starting to do this now!! i got all of the stuff ready but i dont have blue..can i use orange or red?????

[levisarts]

@lilmikey23333 Blue is my fav. But you do not have to use blue red works very well. There are many colors you can use as long as they are bright and pick up the background a little with some pop.
