what do you spray paint the final work on? is that some sort of canvas?

[heyelefante]

@claree2 yes, just a 16x20 canvas

[Audiofreund2]

grey and black looked best

[goptwothemax]

this is my favorite

[PirateBC]

sick dude. only thing id say is go purchase some spray adhesive and coat the back of each layer, since it looks like your getting some underspray.

[ACME2069]

no dont burn it

[1justcutitout]

wow ...wow.... That is just way kool! I must say I enjoyed that so much, U r a awesome artist!

good job!

[mcjagger123]

dam i wish i knew how to do that but i was reading a comment how do you make the stencils with photoshop

[crazynaivideos]

and how do you get the stencil soo clean with no extra smudges or dots coming out the paper? Like I use acrylic paint, ( I know stupid, but I cant spray paint at the moment because its winter, ) and yeah... It comes a lil messy. A lil help pleasE?

[heyelefante]

spray paint comes out in thinner coats than acrylics. try dabbing the paint on. if that doesnt work cut your stencils out of thicker paper. i prefer cardstock but have gone with printer paper a few times. and kanye sounds like a good idea. dont be suprised if you see him in a video one day.

[crazynaivideos]

:P thx man, I hope you do kanye. i did im aswell, and it came out ok, but i want to see a pro do it! Thx bro

[crazynaivideos]

do a kanye west one or will smith. I did a 3 layered will smith on yesterday, and it came out nice. Stay up

[Falcons66]

Cool vid, cool painting! It was fun to watch! Ive never watched any stenciling vids. And thanks for the heads up that Armstrong is an artist to avoid when uploading my records....(as far as copyright).

[VinylToVideo]

If you want to make another I'll buy it! How much?

[lobizoon1]

That someone who is not Louis Amstrong, is the great Boss of the blues, Mr Big Joe Turner.

[crazynaivideos]

Do u use photoshop to create the stencil? plz reply:)

[heyelefante]

sure do

[Brutus0723]

[OnlyUseMusic]

great love it!!!

[enchsuizas]

photoshop and adhesive spray my ass, dig the

skokiaan funk, babies!

[loveforink]

oh yeah i forgot to ask you, is there a cheap photoshop program that i can get? my point is im having trouble making out different layers so i need to find some type of way to seperate all of my layers. thanks man for any info.

[heyelefante]

adhesive spray is good on everything, just make sure it's temporary adhesive. And any program that lets you edit brightness and contrast can be used to make a stencil. look up "how to stencil a shirt" from ThreadHeads.

[loveforink]

can you use an adhesive spray on the back of transparencies stencils just to hold down some of the thinner pieces or would that leave a residue on canvas?

[XDben]

nice! what do you paint on? what material do you use for your stencils? what editing software do you use to make the stencils? thanks!

[heyelefante]

I paint on canvas (sometimes styrofoam boards), this painting i just used printer paper for my stencil but that also varies with each project(sometimes poster board or transparencies). And i eat sleep and breathe Photoshop. Can't live without it.

[willietx]

good but whats with the end man? bloody random!

[heyelefante]

read the description

[paqisa777]

beautiful, congratulations!

[aznInvasion360]

couldnt really find any on the layered stencils. So even though u cant post a vid do u have to have the same stencil/pic for each color? and for each one do u cut out a different part that u want a different shade?

[heyelefante]

i cut out 3 stencils, for each color. each stencil is only 1 color and i use the same picture for each stencil. I used photoshop to help me split the colors using desaturate>brightness-contrast­>posterize (3color). This helps me see what is white, what is black, and what is grey.

Although for this stencil, the background was grey so it saved me a stencil since the grey color on his face was what i didnt use a stencil on.

[aznInvasion360]

did u draw that stencil yourself? if u did u should post a video on how to make them

[heyelefante]

it was originally a photo i found. but there are a lot of videos on YouTube that show you how to make a stencil

[stefaneee]
