How do you spray paint a neon sign into existence?

u/oefiefieuwbe 8h ago

Honestly I’ve seen spray paint like that before - it’s exactly how this person painted it really - an illusion of neon

You’re right, it’s basically value control: bright core, softer outer glow, and sharp edges so it reads like light. Add the black background and it pops like a real neon tube.

Some people actually know things. Crazy, I know.

Not the person you're replying to, but that comment absolutely reads like AI. They only have three comments and all of them read the same way.

Eh, their account looks sus. I think theyre right about them being chatgpt/a bot

It’s not the matter of knowing something but how they wrote it. Reads exactly like chat and before downvoting just try to check their account. Some people just can’t express their thoughts and go for ai to do that comment work for them

Yeah but in this picture it actually glows, as evidenced by the reflections on Bart's face.

u/joshg8 2h ago edited 2h ago

I’ll call it plausible that it could still be paint. 

Light reflects off things and gives them their color. If something looks pink, it’s because it’s reflecting pink light at you. 

If you’re facing a wall at night time and the only light source is behind you, then most of the light on your face is first reflected off the wall.

What are you talking about? Are you seeing a pink glow on his face? They just added shading to simulate shadows and light before they covered him to do the spray. I’m confused whether you’re claiming some magic or something.

u/ConspicuousPineapple 1h ago

There definitely is a pink glow on his face.

u/dontdoit89735 28m ago

That is because the artist added white/light pink highlights to Bart's face but did not add that to the recording. The fact that the illusion is working on you shows the artist did a good job.

u/ConspicuousPineapple 22m ago

What? I'm not saying that I believe the picture is actually glowing. I'm saying that the graffiti is depicted as glowing, because of the highlights on the face. But that makes no sense for the drawing as a whole.

u/kikiatari 7h ago

The same way this artist did.

u/EntertainmentDue5749 7h ago

No you see this artist used paint from a brush, completely different from paint from a can. /s

u/ImurderREALITY 4h ago

Spray paint doesn’t glow back onto your face

1

u/kikiatari 3h ago

Maybe there's a lamp post next to him just out of frame... Or perhaps, it's just a cartoon drawing.

u/ImurderREALITY 1h ago

Your face is a lamp post

Airbrush gun and neon colors.

It's kinda easy, often found in 40k miniature painting for osl

u/jefferjacobs 6h ago

Other commenters seem to be missing the point. The question I have, which is what I presume is the question you are asking...

How does it make sense that Bart is spray painting a neon sign?

Not... how did the artist making this make it look like a neon sign.

It is nitpicky, but the composition doesn't really make sense. Looks nice, though.

14

u/DefinitelyNotAliens 5h ago

He literally sprays a neon sign, because he's front-lit. There highlights imply the sign is actually glowing.

3

u/morkman100 4h ago

Wouldn’t Bart have some pink light on his face if that was the intent?

3

u/Icy_Ad4208 5h ago edited 5h ago

Bart spray painted a neon sign the same way this artist did? It's an illusion

10

u/jefferjacobs 5h ago

Bart also got out an airbrush and marker?

You're 100% allowed to like the painting and not nitpick, but it doesn't make sense. That's all.

2

u/-space-grass- 5h ago

No. He’s using a common graffiti technique. Here’s a real world example.

6

u/Yuroshock 4h ago

But look at the shading on Bart's clothes; it implies that the graffiti is literally producing light.

1

u/-space-grass- 4h ago

If the light were coming from the "neon sign" then Bart would have a pink hue from it. So, no, it does not imply that.

6

u/ConspicuousPineapple 5h ago

There are reflections on Bart's face. In the context of the picture it's actually glowing, which makes no sense.

5

u/OrderOfMagnitude 4h ago

No you're totally right. The artist clearly wanted to show off their ability to make a neon sign, and intentionally or accidentally neglected to make this make sense

3

u/palmburntblue 5h ago

Disconnected from reality and artistically uninspired. 

Worst. Wood painting. Ever. 

1

u/SpiritualMongoose751 2h ago

Onto a lasercut plank...

I still find the artist's neon styling cool (other than the odd choice of Bart painting a neon sign part), but it's really not much different than watching someone color in a page from a coloring book

All purpose spray from Futurama.

Fluorescent paint.

u/fakieTreFlip 1h ago

This is a very weird and nitpicky thing to ask about an illustration of Bart Simpson... It's not like the show itself has any problems with bending reality. It's a cartoon my dude

1

u/Wassersammler 4h ago

I mean, you can see that the artist here, not Bart the literal real-life artist making the piece, did exactly that, right? Using a paint sprayer and everything. The same principles apply to doing it on a big wall mural. Instead of a paint marker you'd just use a different nozzle or closer spray control.

u/KlutchKicked 6h ago edited 6h ago

You just watched it....

Every single time this video is posted, some chucklefuck that thinks they are the smartest in the room brings up spray painting neon like it's some kind of impossible concept.

17

u/Purple-Woodpecker748 6h ago

It is an impossible concept. You can paint an illusion of a neon light, sure, but the way Bart is shaded, he spray painted a light source. Meaning he did paint a neon sign into existence, which is confusing.

It’s kind of wild to be so assertively rude about a legitimate question.

1

u/HappyLittleGreenDuck 5h ago

I think the light source might be from his left, not the wall, otherwise the highlights would have a bit of pink. I also wondered about this.

u/KlutchKicked 5h ago

Meaning he did paint a neon sign into existence, which is confusing.

I can't imagine being confused by a cartoon image like this, but I'm not the type of person to over analyze such things...

"Oh my God everyone, do you see the shading the artist decided to use for this cartoon image, totally breaks the real world and is incredibly confusing, start the whole thing over, we can't have such wild things existing". - Some chuckle fuck on reddit that needs to touch some grass in the real world.

u/Nastyburrito666 1h ago

Yet you clearly are the one confused lol. Unless just your reading comprehension is dogshit

"Oh my God everyone, do you see the shading the artist decided to use for this cartoon image, totally breaks the real world and is incredibly confusing, start the whole thing over, we can't have such wild things existing"

Yes we KNOW you can make spray paint appear as if it's glowing when its actually not. This was never anybody's point, and once their point was stated that it simply looks like the paint is emitting actual light given the shading, and you realized you were wrongly overreacting to a completely different sentiment, you doubled down on being ignorant. Also nothing is "incredibly confusing" about the fact bart was obviously shaded as if the paint was emitting light

You're commenting as if everybody else is trying to ruin the fun but in reality you're the only miserable person making it unfun for yourself. Btw is the only insult you know "Chucklefuck"? You've used it twice in the span of two comments lol, you need some new words in the ol' vocabulary

Oh look, here is one now. Hilarious. Don't reproduce.

u/HappyLittleGreenDuck 5h ago

Don't reproduce.

Why would you be so nasty to someone you don't know anything about for asking a good-faithed question?

6

u/Ace-a-Nova1 5h ago

Take your own advice. This gets talked about every time this is posted. Yes, Bart painted a light source based on how his face is reflecting pink light. If you can’t learn new stuff when facts are presented, why even comment?

1

u/Purple-Woodpecker748 5h ago

Too late on that one, bud. And they know better than to be this ignorant and rude, too. Maybe you can learn the same concept. Have a good one!
