Rhapakatui Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Whatever happened to hand drawing out stencils? It's a pretty simple drawing, just... print it out as big as you can fix up the rough edges with a sharpy measure out and draw a grid over it, on a seperate sheet of poster board or whatever your stencil will be made of, Draw the same grid to larger scale. do the same number of squares and multiply all of your measurements by how much larger your stencil will be than the print out. Now just hand draw the Rat n Wrenches onto the new grid, making sure that each line follows the same path through the new grid as it did through the smaller grid. With a little touching up and patience, anyone can make a fairly accurate reproduction of a drawing this way. You don't have to have mad drawing skillz or anything. The more precise you want to be, the more squares you make to your grid. When you're done, cut out the large drawing and take pride in your hand made stencil. Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Skip. Where ya at.? I think Skip is good with the stencil thing. been doing stencil graff for about 10 years now, Iv done a few rat and wrenches stencils. but there not strait forward to paint so I dont really do them unless I paint it myself.
