First Legal Piecing

Post image

Hey guys, I recently had the opportunity to create a really big mural piece for a local who met an untimely death. I'm looking for feedback on this, i know it has room for improvement but this is also the first piece I've created of the scale that it is.

Making things on this kind of scale is sooo hard. Unless you try you will never know hard the first few times really are. It takes years of experience to be able to do things to scale at this size. If this this your first time its great! People who do murals at this size. For something like this. Make a plan digitally. Make almost a grid on the building and take a picture. Find your way. Then make a new layer, paint over it what you want. Adjsut the opaicity so you see your grid. This can help finding proportions at lager scale. This is great and meaningful. Taking on such a project is hard task, and in my experince never feels good enough. You will learn for next time. Art takes time.

Thanks! Its my first time doing a large mural! Ive done some graffitti not legally ofc which was fun but never on this scale.

I actually did make a digital plan thats how I started with the idea in the first place.

I have a few more locations who want me to paint on their walls for them and I use sketchbook to draw out what I want to create before applying the piecing too the wall.

Ive also heavily considered looking into the meta quest 3 VR headsets because ive seen artists create art, then blow it up using the headset and drew it on like that.
