More sketchin', less talkin' plz ;)
Some simps I've been working on for a sketch I'm going to eventually turn into a legit sketch for a friend overseas. Crits are appreciated as always.

(No sketches to crit on this page, so have at it...)
lein, lookin pretty propper with the letter structure.. just work on your letter spacing.. it needs help.. your L is always cutting way too far into your E.. L's are tough to work with for just that reason.. the second and the last one are your best..
Loki, thats pretty much the best thing ive ever seen.. step one.. lose the fat broad.. then learn letter structure.. peace!
I know they aint in a black book.. just some stickers i made up tonight.. lemme know whats good and what to work on..

Queezy slap right there is so damn attractive. The first picture I'm having troubles, I see two S's and I can't really find the D. It would've looked better if you blended your colors together. Not liking the 'fuck the buff' page. Pudg ones are pretty nice. Nothing to say about the block buster, The first to last Quezy needs to have more consistancy in letter widths. The Q E and Y are all small widths compared to the U and Z.

edit: I would say work on your letters a little bit more until you use faces. Brin the bottom leg of the e down a little more to match and possibly angle it 45 degrees, and throw a drop shadow or 3-d. Also you have the letter to the left covering the next one besides the E.
Thanks for the good critiques man, it's hard to get around here. I feel you on the width of my letters on the bomb, I said fuck it and sketched it anyways. The first one says squid, it's just a little funkadelic.

Krep: Work on your hand style, don't add faces just yet. Nice straight letters, now throw in some of your own style to the structures, not too much though, just a few tweaks here and there.

The only advice I can give any of you is work on your structure. It's also important to try new things like you're doing so don't get too caught up with the structure...
Neet - Your A's look really weird. I prefer the two E's. Your shit looks nice though and I'm especially likin' that 3D.

tried using bars
Barks - Looks a lot fucking better in my opinion. Keep working on that, then bend them after you can do bars like second nature. Also, don't arch it and make them all parallel between top and bottom.
Strive - Simpler, use bars.
Dank - Try to make the tops and bottoms of the letters parallel; like what you used to use in the third grade for making your letters the same size.

I'd ditch the faces on the letters, make the bottom right bar on the E slant at the same angle the bottom right bars on the K and R are slanting, maybe raise the top right bar on the E (looks a little awkward how tight the two bars that are supposed to be separate are), and throw a drop shadow or 3d on that bitch. Overall looking pretty clean though man, nice work.

Funhouse- Your S doesn't seem to fit with the other letters
Shem- the middle of the M dips down too low
The Strange one- the A is kinda odd and make the letters the same size
Clokkz- Good that your trying to use bars but ease off on the extensions (especially on the R) and the add ons, still stick to simples

Strange one: I just don't know how i feel...was never a fan of bubbles, but yea balance out that S a bit..would look more pleasing
Strive: Less boxy, round some shit off, the T looks too bent!
I was thinking of name change...to Slek, pronounced sleek...crits?

halfgangstashit-your bars are uneven in some spots, also maybe try not slanting all of the letters
save and kill-the 3d isnt terrible, to get the feel of 3d try placing a dot on the page, and connecting each edge with a ruler so you know its right
clokkz-go simple, your letters lack alot of letter structure in places
Thestrangeone-your S and A are too wide compared to your M and E
Shem-I really like those letters...simple but not boring to look at. you should fill it
I havent been sketching too much recently but figured Id post what Ive done most recently...

b SQUARED 08
08-29-2009, 10:17 PM
Nickstix: You might be going a little over your head with both of those letters. It appears that you need to practice the simple forms of both of those letters before you go wild with 'em. Specifically, the E looks really 'choppy' if you know what I mean. There is nothing smooth looking about the letter, and that's something that you want. Play with the angles and try to use less bars than that for starters. Your R looks clean, but the structure is not good. Lose the extensions too; they'll come with time.

Koen: Work on making your bars the same widths and work with the same shape endings on bars (if you know what I'm saying there...).
guilTrip: Read the New To Graffiti Thread and apply the reading to your sketches. You've gotta start with the basics in order to advance.
Bore: Looks like you're getting better, but for example, on your E, I would suggest that you make that yellow bar the exact same as the other bars in order to keep that flow goin'. Drop the unnecessary extensions for now; they'll come with practice- they shouldn't be forced.
Still crankin' the simples on these letters in hopes that I can get a good progression going, but damn these letters are stubborn lol. Crits are appreciated:

you went overboard on the extensions on the E.

make your letters overlap a little.

yeah it's a piece of paper, and yeah man the R is always one of my main issues, I will follow up on you radvice and hopefully have something better soon, thanks.
koen your K looks like an R, just cuz of the round shape, fix that and the spacing in between the letters try simply writing it and then make the bars thicker, cuz that's in between a throw and a straight letter.
Vade color the 3d different from your fill and background or else it looks flat as fuck, as far as the letters go, they're alright-ish, you might want to try a bit simpler next time, get to know your letters first before you fuck with them, after all they're just not a one night stand I hope.

And im sure that 3d style will come along after uve got a few years behind u and can do the reg shit well.

Graf: As others have already said, read the New To Graffiti Thread, apply your studies to your sketches and get a concept of what is 'good', then post up what you think is acceptable. You might look into a name change too, lol.
Neet: Watch your bar widths and try to keep them proportionate to one another. Also, ditch the add-ons and extensions for now- let them come with practice rather than forcing them. Work on your flow a bit by incorporating similar letter characteristics though. I'd also avoid coloring and using fills for now considering that ink could be put to use on something once you've improved on your style.
Again, trying to work with these letters, but it's a tough combination lol. Crits plz :)

smuk- straighten out those letters a bit, kinda looks sloppy. make your 3d a little more even...your on the right track.
Havek-I think that shits tight. maybe make the stuff to the left of the T a little smaller, i feel like its stealing the T's space kinda. Looks like you kind of ran out of room.
Lein-the I looks like an F

I feel you, but it's not my name. I'm working on a sketch for a friend of mine overseas, so I'm forcing myself to find a way that works.
Any more crits would really help me out :)
Dunsy: As clean as all of your coloring looks, you still need to work on your letters. For example, I don't even know what the first letter on that first sketch is. The E in that same sketch is hurtin' too. Try using straight bars, then gradually work in bends, then proportional changes once you've got those down. You've got the coloring down well, but that's the easy part. Now start sketching in pencil only and putting more practice into your letters.

same: Shits weird, son. With that out of the way the 3d is really messed, I think you should hit up classic simples. Imitate a font, learn how to use bars. I like the top line better then the name. You'll work it out, man.
Dunsy: Second picture, top throw. Roll with that, mad potential. Other stuff is meh.
Snuk: Stop. Drop. And Roll on over to simples and bars.
Trek: Just nit picking... Trim it down a little, show off the structure of the letters more. Make the T give the R a little space, and the E is feelin' pretty crowded to. Pretty solid though, keep it up.
Neet: Feels way forced, man. Relax, make it your own.
Lein: Hit the simples, work plain letters until they are so boring it hurts to do them. Bending is like puberty, you can't force that shit to happen on your schedule.

Telos- Try and get those bar withs consistent throughout the piece, try and get the letters about the same size (the L is mad tiny while the S is huge)
Scotchtape- I really like how the bubbles came out on the second one- the letter forms are really creative.
Strange- Thats a really unique style, it looks good as regular letters, I suggest trying to play around with those letters a little bit-tweek them, bend them whatever add some flavor into them
Dunsey- I really like that monkey and the background/forcefields you have there, I'd suggest working on the letters a little more since those(characters/Background) Grab the most attention compared to the letters
Snuk- I'd have to agree with the others- beat the hell out of those solid keyboard letter for a while
Trek- That's an ill piece but while the TRE are all leaning to the right I feel the K is leaning more straight up or to the left more which kinda thorws the flow of the piece off a little bit--IMO
Squared- The 3D and coloring is really nice- I don't know if it is a style choice but I think the E and N are smaller then the L and I (I think it is)- that and the L seems to heavily overlap the second letter more so than the rest of the letters
NEET- again imma have to go with the others the N is huge and the E's both look squished inbetween the N and T. The letter forms themselves are goos but if you take apart each letter individually I think you'd find they'd be different sizes compared to one another.
