How to make a stencil: instructions and tips
Graffiti has a long history. And during the time of its universal existence, it not only developed, but also improved. Bombing, tagging, rating - it all brings together a favorite art. And it can not do without stencils. They have become so popular that no one else can imagine this kind of creativity without them. And many are interested in how to make the stencil itself. The new school of this movement, or rather, its representatives do not agree with the fact that the stencil drawings have emerged from this kind of art. But still their relationship is undeniable.
Very popular black and white stencils for graffiti. How to make them, we will consider below. Usually these are small stylistic drawings and an explanatory inscription accompanying them. There are also multicolored complex steynsils, hardly differing from graffiti, but they are very complex. So let's start small.
With repeated use (due to the numerous application of paint), the stencil becomes hard as plastic. On the one hand, it is good (for durability), but on the other - it can easily be broken in half. Therefore it is better to store in a folder. Another option - instead of cardboard use linoleum (which is much more difficult to do). Then it can be twisted, which is very convenient.
A little more on how to make stencils for graffiti from a printed image. First you need to upload the photo to Photoshop . Trim, if necessary, the background. Also correct if necessary the level of light and brightness. Next, the image needs to be discolored, but to make it clear what is painted. On the black background of white "islands" should be as small as possible. White space should be fully connected to each other. Then it will be easier to cut out the black main drawing. All is ready. Cut out.
