how long tell style got better

[KnoxIn]

ok so i have been doin it for about 6 months or so and like yesterday i went out and looked at everything like from my first to the one i did last night there is a big difference but im still wonderin how long it took everyone for they actuall "style" to develope cuz i still really an't got mine most my shit is blocks and bubbles

[theBOMBsquad]

took me about a year and half, but your style changes as you get older. you just find something temporaroly and then it developes later on

[-Leski]

This thread is stupid, you could have asked this in the toy questions...

Year and a bit.

[Fube]

if u think the thread is stupid then dont post in it. btw nice response, cant be that stupid eh?

[T O K E]

^looks like we know who approved it

[Soboe!]

lmao!^^
took me about a year

[SAID]

till your style got better.
after lots and lots of painting and bombing,
you get home without that pressure of getting caught and go all out, draw some crazy shit.
i'd say probably like a year, a yea and a half.

[pixy]

once people start biting your personal sort of style.

thats kinda when you know your better.

[Fube]

people are crying to get me to approve some threads. so im picking the least whack ones. this just made the cut. u guys speak about shit like u know whats going on in this forum and u dont. so, like i said before, if u dont like the thread then

GET THE FUCK OUT AND DONT POST IN IT.

its that easy. i dont feel like hearing about your opnion on this issue, nor does your opnion matter at all.

[Derogatory9o5]

Around a year ish I think , maybe a bit more cause I took a serious break from it. took a while to get back into it

[dim]

still working on it

[bountyhunter113]

i'd say about a year and a half to 2yrs you obtain your "own" style...........and about 2 and half to 3yrs you should have it highly developed or possibly mastered

but it all comes down to how much you practice.........if you never practice or don't practice enough, then it will take much longer..........also, getting outside and painting/getting ups, will help you develop style faster, coz if you just stay inside and sketch then it'll take longer imo

[Lie]

still working on mine


derotagy 905 lol i always do that character on vandalsquad and in school haha in ur display

[sacwacko]

id say a year of hard work will get you some good handyz :D

[Ceazer]

this question is hard to answer mostly because your style is always changing i dunno its been 2 years for me and i guess i've got my own "style" but i always switch it up i'm never happy with it and its always changing

Grow All Ways. never stop with the Milk

[IlikePie]

Your style should be getting better if you really want it. I've been at it about 2 years, and I've gone through a few completely different styles. Shouldn't have just one signature style, that gets boring.

[Panda Jerk]

im constantly changing my style i get over em

it took me two years to get better

[Backalley Abortion Doctor]

What the fuck


It's not like you suddenly stop getting better, you keep improving as long as you keep practicing

[RetroLikeWhoa13]

you progress in style like you progress through maturity you dont stop at a certain point, its like you gain wisdom as you go along, and the more you keep going the wiser you get, and decency comes with just how hard you work at it. you will get better as you practice and with dedication. perfection comes with practice.

[Allthegoodnamesaretaken]

everytime you do a throw-up, It comes out a bit different from the last intentional or not.
Eventually, after 100 throw-ups drawn on paper, It will probably look different then when you first started and you should probably be able to do it alot faster.

[FailOne]

the style i rock now i developed like a year ago
used to rock a way diff style for a few years
but having a style in general it took about a year when i first started for it to start commin along

[atlok7]

your style is never at its best. its always developing

[Soboe!]

failer- oh sorry i mean Fone now hahaha, what up its good old Snot one from the 204, your steez is killin the streets now those piece you be rockin haha, you gotta get some of that old school ny steez on the bill boards!!!!!!
P.S put FS in your sig its your fuckin crew hahaha

[drop one.]

bout a year

[Area-51]

im still workin on mine i got a looong way to go but im gettin there one day at a time

[- Alexancler -]

As all others say, your style is never accomplished, but the more you train, the better it gets. I was without style for 4 active months, but then i had a new, SHITTY one for like .. Like 3 months, and then I got busted. Took a break for about 2 months(almost to scared to THINK of graffiti). Then I started developing a new style, with which I am happy. But it has quite some things to be improved - that comes with time. It is around 1 year and a half since I started graff, and by the time of now I feel like I have some talents.

[Bah Humbug]

it took me about 10 months

[Soboe!]

2 months :D
i win !

[South-Pole]

took me about a 2 years ,lets say one year and a half to develop a style,but also mean while i'v managed to pull other styles

[simple zen]

whenever you start doing the most hallucinogenic drugs.

[rsakens]

some people create style in a year and some people need to break there
fingers for years and years until it start to look alright

this took 2 years to make this transition?

[Bazer]

ive been writing for a year and 9or10 months. O_o

[Maste]

hahhahaha ^ @cais

it took me 32 years to get where im at

[rsakens]

this took 2 years to make this transition?
yes it dit :(
i am a untalented bastard :D
atliest when i have skills some day i worked hard for it and can be proud about it

[GRAP]

I'm still working on my style but I've seen it change for the better.

[bilal_tariq]

your style is never at its best. its always developing
well said sir.

[geritto]

bout 2 years

[iVIBE]

This is encouraging, I have only been writing for about 6 months and i am getting frustrated because i feel im not progressing fast enough, but its good to know that it takes time to develop and as long as i keep working my "style" will come in due time.

[Dying to live]

about 2 years =\

[milfhunter]

Ur Never Done Ur Alwys Developing Ur Shit Your Surroundings And Watnot Are Wat Influence Ur Style Also The Peeps You Hang With..but It Took Me 6 Yrs To Get Were Im At

[#speak#]

my style still looks like crap two

[freshair]

ive been doin it for 6 yrs or so and still progressin...just doesnt stop

[merm1sf]

I started writing in the end of 8th grade, i'm now going into 12th so thats what, 4 years? if that. I dont do a whole lot of painting, which I think isn't helping me very much, and I still don't consider myself very good at all. I have an alright tag, good enough to paint publicly, but anything besides that its pretty shoddy, Atlok don't feel like your the only one who improves at that kind of pace.

[cans905]

you will progress depending on how much u put into it
like i know this kid who has been writing for as long as me and he only sketches 5 min before we go painting
me, on the other hand, spend at least an hour or two sketching a day
the first pic is from when i started 3 months ago and the second is something from last night

[cans905]

o, i also forgot...
dont use any graffiti creator or wutever
cuz pple will be able to tell when they look at it and u also arent doing anything to develop ur own style
years from now u wont be able to paint anything else or improvise because u never took the time to learn about letture structure and how to create flow for urself
srry about rambling lol

[foureyes]

it was about 6 or 7 months for me but i had alot of good writers around me helping and paintin with me alot and that was a huge help.

[freshair]

i call ur bluff...iwanna see a pic

[Facedorateur]

I started about 3 months ago and there is definitly a large fdifference in between my style at the the start and how it is now.
I still suck tho
I have a good proverb : ''once you've hit the bottom, its always easier to go up''
And since we toys start pretty much at the bottom...

[foureyes]

i call ur bluff...iwanna see a pic

you talkin to me???

[acereborn]

i call ur bluff...iwanna see a pic

I don't think you've been writing for 6 years either, but I didn't say anything. Lets see your pics then.

[foureyes]

I don't think you've been writing for 6 years either, but I didn't say anything. Lets see your pics then.

i didnt say 6 years...
i said it took me about 6 months to start seein any progression.

something i did yesterday

I was talking to the other guy, defending you :P

[freshair]

the zombies better than the other...so i stand corrected...

and ok.
ill post sum stuff up when i get home..cant do nothin at work.
:D

[BATE.ONE.RF]

i started when i was about 11 and kept on practicing i am now 13 and you can tell the difference of style with ease.

[Mass Appeal]

^^^^^ Lol ... no offence ... but i had a REAL HARD time trying to find the difference.. ^^^^^^^

Still waiting for it to get better ... havent even got a style down yet ... or even letters.

[MiNZ]

id say go by the years
i posted this abvout a year and a half back as a burner

and...
http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh115/Rhelicks/flicks021.jpg
still not the best by any means

[wrekstyle]

All depends on how often you draw...and how creative u are...

[Nicht hellig]

if ur hooked .. dont trip .. it will come to you .. jus keep destroyin shit n doin ur thing

[blaje]

been doing it leisurely for 5 years now...and i'm still pretty toy...not too worried about it though, it's all about fun to me

[jester.onest]

It ALWAYS varies between people. Lots of people do it for ages but then get bored because they can't see their style develop before their eyes. The people who get really good are the people who STICK AT IT.


Hope this helps...




blaje, nice sig. I MISS STENCILREVOLUTION TOO.

[mmmburgers]

ive been writing for about 2 years
and ive progressed ALOT within the past year

like, the first year i was writing i completly sucked
i still got some sketches of my first year of graff
and i compare them to now, and ive really come a long way
but it varies for every person, like my friend has been writing for 2 years
and he still sucks hardcore. but be a while before you progress
so just take your time, theres no rush to be the best. have fun, be patient your time will come soon.

[VoyR]

I've been writing off and on for a few years. I'm still way toy but I've progressed. I still have my first sketch and i look at it from time to time just to remind my self that I am moving forward. Even if it doesn't seem like it some times.

Seems to me like every time i change names I take a huge step forward. I've started to sketch random words and names just because it seems like i learn more about basic style and structure by doing that then just working on the same name over and over again.

blaje, nice sig. I MISS STENCILREVOLUTION TOO.


yes you are right... i have been working on my style for almost 8 years leasurly*.. and just in the last coupple months ive been getting better.. i just in the last few mins while smoking a bowl came up with something neat.. kinda bitten from alot of ppl but cool in it self.. i dont think i will be using it though.. and when i first started this website was where i came to chat it up n shit.. was kinda rough alot of drama.. ( *R.I.P. Zewler* ) and it was kinda rough.. alot of the better artists on here hassle you and try n make you leave so alot of people do. i left for a bit.. n came back.. i might leave again.. but i will always come to this site...

[Facedorateur]

If you get bored with youre style, change it definitly.
I've benn writting for 6 months and ive seen a definite evolution, if you put a little effort everyday (sketching for at least 30 minutes) your gonna get something out of it.

[EGO31]

Well, I've been writing 3 years on and off. Tags is good, throwies is good. But piecing is just very hard indeed.Get the sketch and colours fine but sometimes scale does my head in.

Fuckit. I only Like bombing anyways. Piecing is fun, But i prefer to destroy.

[Queezy]

I'm more into bombing too, but mainly because I can't drop a dope ass piece in a good amount of time, and I can do a pretty decent throwie. But once I start sketching some real dope shit, and being able to piece it in a reasonable amount of time I can def see why motherfuckers love to piece. And if you have the drive you will sketch and progress. You truthfully don't even need this website(it might even slow people down cause of all the bullshit) you just gotta be commited.

[zaco]

i have about 5 different styles, most people think thats a good thing but its not.
i get frustrated trying to pick one. i think that consistency is a priority or else people will think bunch of people are biting u which is mad lame. i guess ive been biting myself, thats kinda weird

[S4d3n]

I'd have been writing for bout two years starting this may, so progress's been at a medium pace, though it's sped up in the past few months and I've been able to get some decent shit down.

[Cyto Aka Son1c]

Heres my progression

http://i42.tinypic.com/n3t6rs.jpg

From that ^

to this -

[B.S. POLICE]

i was writing for like ayear and a half and then my balls like dropped and shit just started to make sense.

[el Matador]

osnap- i would like to see some of your shit before you hit puberty.
year or so.

[VaNdAL xBA!x]

ya shit took me almost 2 years then i finally understood hhow too put all my bars together and make everything connect and floww

[markingz.]

i mean your style depends on you really, like i can make my stylesimple if i want or i canmake it complex it just depends on what i want, alot of people get a style quicker by biting thats just not my thing

[sellers E.]

ive been writing for about 1 and a half years and my styles has just gotten decent. this shit takes pacience.

[choki]

DEPENDS =P

some peeps will get it quike some not,,

[thebigman]

depends on how fast you learn id say about 1 year and a half a year if you practice and put alot of work into it

[BERS1]

it took me to get to where i am in like 4 months of sketchin and wastin alot of note bookz haha

[TrandomnesstwO]

Took me two years to become intermediate on more complicated shit.For throws and handstlyes,about 20 months,I did take a few month break though..wishy-washy.

[gunone]

I improved but all my damn pieces look like throwies and it makes
Panda sad.. The only way i did improve was when i was high...
do i need tro smoke more do i need to hang with a king in another state..
Im still a toy oh god...lmao

[CrustOner]

Way to bump a DEAD FUCKING THREAD.

[zaco]

i have a personal style that ive always had, kind of minimal/robot like that was influenced by jungle/breakbeat album art. i was always around that shit, thought it would look good out in the public. but my other styles took fukn yearrrrsss to develop because i was in that other mind set

[my.favorite.addiction]

years.
Ive been painting for almost 4 and Im no where near satisfied,
But I do have a style thats unique for my area,Id say it took me two years before I stumbled on something that was both unique and didnt look like shit.

[Svc]

i find my style gets better everyday, just a matter of practice, but besides that, i get a large increase about every 2 months i find

[Shroomsh]

ive only been writing for 10 months, anyone can improve, just gotta put in effort, and be willing to leaarn from bad crits.

[PaRaDiZo]

Five months. Was shit, still am shit. :D

[MASE P_2s]

your styll always progresses but u tend not to notice it until u look bak at ur old shyt ive ben writing for 4 yrs

[Get Rekt!]

ive been sketchin for about a year and painting for probably like 6 months now. ive definetly gotten alot better but i still have a long way to go cause every time i throw up a tag or a bomb i look at it and go that shit just doesnt look right, and i work from that.

[mace2200]

well lets see ive hit a month and it kinda just flows....... dont think just do, at least for me
my freind was tryin to do one, hes not into this and he spent like 10 min. on one letter lol

[Kave]

Just Getting Started.
