stutter, make your bars less wobbly and more straight (lousy grammar, but it conveys my point). not straight straight, you dont need to go that far back. but put a curve into it an make it bend like if you took both ends of a pencil and bent it but not snappin it. try an use that bend for now until you can curve your letters more naturally and less spaghetti like. the bottom R if you had just one curve, then throw a circle on the top and have your kick coming out at a steeper angle, itd look a lot sharper

good block letters, start curving the edges to soften the letters out so they arnt so hard and make slight curves in the bars and you'll advance them real quick. cracks are detailed an look pretty good bro
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt250/slerk/May-25_0914.jpg
youve got the right idea but your bars each have different flow an its all over the place, the individual letters sorta flow in the same direction.. but you need to get those individual bars in check and itll help make them letters slick ya know?

half your letters are highly influenced, possibly not yours, not my role to call you out on that. but your Ks Zs and Ts are aiight, dont make your outline so wobbly, i seen straighter lines on lsd. starin at salvador dalis work. dont try an whyle out when your just getting an understanding for letters and bar work. your Os start with circles. itll help you understand positioning when you do triangularish Os like your trying there. once you get an idea where the main bars need to be on an O, then you an block up the edges and whatnot. add do-dads an such. keep all your bar widths the same for the piece. it looks mad wack when the bars on your K is real thin an the bars on your Z is much thicker on the same piece. not fresh ya digg? on the rekt sketch, kill the arrows and do what i said above. i have no doubt you'll be able to rock decent letters soon with some quick outlines just to get an understanding down
DONT COLOR THEM just do outlines, pen outlines. i cant emphasize enough how much this helped me advance my letters in a very short period of time

Dude you're guetting a little ahead of youreself with those extentions, but they kinda work on the M and B... that E is pretty horrid tho.
GuyGuyer of Guyland
05-26-2010, 11:41 AM
good job tofe! mad improvement in a day. everythings coming together nicely, keep it up, youre getting the hang of it. each time you sketch out a piece, it gets a little better. practice makes perfect. soon you'll be able to take your old shit and incorporate certain ting tingys that you like onto those simples and youre on a roll. nicely done
Tofe i like that except for the hump on the T and the ant those little chunks that are missing from the F and E
Etcha That E could use some work and although i like the B, i don't really feel like its flowin.

cheers for the crits guys.
I see what you mean about the E. It is rather ugly.
I take it you are all refering to the bottom extension of the E. Ill sort that out. It just looks rather plain in that area without it and makes the E look to small. Not to sure what to do with it.
Ill draw one without and get it up.

GuyGuyer of Guyland

you forgot the bottom left part of your W on the inside of your A. thats why it looks wierd. and it wont be as thick as the bottom right part of your W. and as leaks said. the top part of your E dosent look too good crowding the middle bar of your E. you could probably add a fin to the top bar of the E without having to raise it. maybe add an extension on the left side of your A if you wanna balance it with a fin on the top of your E ya know?

AWE, if you fix your w, don't connect it to the E how you have it. It doesn't really go with the rest of it, and I know you can think up something better.
Plus, your W could use to be behind your A or in front of it. Same with the W and the E. For now, simples. Let each letter consistently either always be in front of or behind the next one.

Bare- a and e in no way go with the b and the r. Stick with one color inside your letters. Stick with one style in your letters. Work on your letter structure. Your 3d is off inside of your letters. Your E is way bigger than the rest, get your letters the same size. The R is a lot longer too... Just work on simples bro, stay up.
... And personally, I wouldn't waste the red ink filling the whole page unless your going to do that on a wall, or unless your piece is a little better in your book.
Waze- Haha, sorry bout that. I only googled it because we're posting in a toy thread, and you have "one" in your name. But it's all giggity. Thanks fo the crits. It looks like you don't have much revisions in your shit, one way I get ideas for my letter structure is to take basic letters, or the letters I sketch out, and just erase parts and change em a bunch. Then, outline your shit in pen on the lines that you like, throw a fill on that bitch, add your 3d and background (if you want a background). You can usually get a hold of pens, color pencils, or something to do your fills at school.
Just a tip man, I know how school blows. I do a lot of my sketches in school. I got a ton of paint pens I keep in my book bag :).

gash? is the first letter a G? the A is a decent start but you need to straighten out the letters for now. what you need to do is make the first bar or main bar of every letter go the same direction. right now it has no flow and the letters look pretty bad. so just start with straight letters, then bend the main bar the same direction in every letter.

keep your bars the same width, have the ends of the bars going into the other ends rather than stacking them up on each other. the bottom of your T for example. check how you have a chunk sittin on top the extension, smooth it down an work it into the other bar.

GuyGuyer of Guyland

just keep working at it, parallel lines look very good if you use em well. the inside bar of your F needs work, same with the bottom of your F. the bottom of your T needs work. make the top bar of the T longer. and your E is much larger than the rest of your piece. make them all the size height. the top extension on your O make a bit shorter. try 2/3rds of what you have now.
but forreal, the bottom bar of your T. take that top line and make it go straight to that corner if you know what i mean.
GuyGuyer of Guyland

an yo, check the bar use on this quick paint sketch. see how i run my bars through each other? on the T in particular. the bottom bars run into the ends of the other bars. by doing that you get good bar proportioning and it looks clean an whatnot. run the bars through the other bars so all your bars are even and flow well.
dont use the E in this sketch on your piece though, its the E i use on my ground ups.

thats the best T youve done so far tofe. on your O try flipping the way the bar turns. it stretchs outwards right nopw, flip it so it stretches inwards. make it smooth on the outside. the spine of your E make it go up just like your T and F.
just keep sketchin outlines an workin at it bro. youve made a retarded amount of progression over the past 5 pages. youve got the raw talent, no doubt, you just need to do a lot of outlines. you know what your doing now too. so it wont be that hard anymore, just gotta get the flow down and small things liek bar proportioning.
youre starting to use smooth curves in your bars too, and its really sharpening them up. signifigantly. the top bar of your F and T look real good homie. keep it up
I GOT CLOUT
05-31-2010, 12:20 PM
Kinda ran outta space but I think you get it. I did the spine of the F like this to kill some of the negative space under the horizonta bars of the F and so you wont have to curve the spine of the E in so close to the F. And i drew this before guyers crits, but I still kinda did the same things, haha. good looks.

05-31-2010, 12:35 PM
Amends, I dont know if ive seen your other shit, but from this I can deduce you need to stick to block, or keyboard letters if you will. For now stick to either all uppercase or lowercase. And you said you were trying to vary the widths, but to my I can barely see any changes. For now just stick to the same widths throughout the piece.
GuyGuyer of Guyland
05-31-2010, 12:49 PM
nah, he's just comin outta block an stick letters. keep doin what you do amends. it takes time. but its a step in the right direction. yah gotta make some mistakes an whatnot. the letters are pretty good. i would have done a second hapital E. not a lowercase. i find when the rest are capital but you have one lowercase, it dosent look as bold as it could if everything was a capital. pieces an whatnot you can do that without an issue. simples, iunno.. your S could use some work. maybe bring the top a bit lower, similar to the bottom. it just looks bland to me. keep at it though, definatly not bad.
easer, that tofe piece is pretty good yo, i like what you did with the TOF. the T and F balance each other out mad well, looks great. but unfortunatly cuz of the balance of those 3 letters you left the E out to hang kinna deal ya know? looks all lonely an shit. yah could have brought the E in some more to kill that negative space. the top of the F wouldnt look bad if it hung over the E some more. but overall, its pretty bang on.
ill try an find a camera, once i do that then ill be able to pop off some sketches an exchanges

05-31-2010, 12:56 PM
Yeah, once I got to the E and realized I didnt have that much room it kinda made me not care anymore. Especially since I was just sketchin it real quick to give him a good idea of where to go with it. I figured he can figure out how to bring that E in an look better. Ill help but I aint babysittin, ya know? haha

you could rock a lowercase E on that type of sketch cuz the tops are all smooth an circle like, like the top of an E ya know? either that or seperate the spines of the P an R to define where they are and it would suit the E much better

cyto - yo dont do all that crazy shit inside your letters and focus on what has been talked about these last few pages,its all about proportions,widths,heights,bars,and most important style,but style doesnt mean a crazy backround and random add on's,just keep it neat and simple for now.

yes! and no at the same time. The first one is the best one, but the black lines that come off in every direction look like you went for the 3d drop effect but couldn't decide which way you wanted it, so it throws of the perspective. The paint scheme good though.
The second one is the one that is the worst. You obviously can do way better since the other two are good. the letters themselves are really weak in some spots, and by adding multiple lines on the same letter, it makes it look even weaker since it deemphasizes the actual shape of the letters. and im not a fan of that paint job.
I can clearly see the look that you were going for with the last one. But once again, the perspective is off and that makes the letters look really weak. It has a lot of style to it, just not executed properly.
overall I think they are good and you show a lot of potential. you have a clear direction that you are going in and you understand the basics like "keepin the letters the same size". keep at it

I don't really Like how the E leans so much at the end. But still it's starting to get better!
cyto- at first it looks sick, but if you break it down the letters are lacking. its not bad though, just work on letter structure instead of add ons and such. the style sorta reminds me of some tenser piece i saw somewhere

The bend in that T is horrible, it looks like it has a leg and T's dont have legs. The extension on the top right of the O is way too fat, and shouldnt be there in the first place, not to mention the bars on the O look like he tried to make a diamond shape on the outside and a curvy type on the inside. which then makes the bars uneven. the extension on the bottom of the F is too small and makes it look awkward, an F does not need a leg either. dont cut into your bars like you did on the middle bar of the F. the random bump coming off the back of the base bar on the F looks stupid as fuck and doesnt fit, The curve on the top bar of the F doesnt match the bottom part of the bar or any letter but the E for that matter. And just scrap the E and never think of using it again because i dont want to crit it. The 3D on the bottom left diagonal bar is missing, the 3d on the O is missing as well on the top left bar. the inside 3d looks like shit because you fucked up your bars. the F is missing 3d on that wonky penis looking thing at the top of it. and once again im not touching on that E. we have told you so many fucking times i stopped counting. stick to simples. no extensions. nothing. nothing at all. simples until you can learn how to properly tweak a letter or QUIT GRAFFITI.'
sorry but this had to be said.
Edit: rewt ive always liked your style of slanting the letters. your simples are looking clean as hell these days, start tweaking? or are you just gonna keep rockin em? really feelin that colour combo too.
GuyGuyer of Guyland

shut the fuck up. half of what you said isnt even worth reading.
his T and F are fine. and his E wouldnt be horrible if it was standing up. look 5 pages back an try an front like he isnt improving
tofe, tone it down a bit. he does have a point in keepin it simple for now. granted that black an blue one you did wasnt too bad. just stop doing what you do with your E. it hurts my head
pleasedontstayr
06-01-2010, 11:37 PM
maybe i did go a bit overboard but that E has bars all over the place so i dont see how standing it up would improve it. if you looked maybe 100 pages back. you would see him posting the same stuff over and over and being told the same things. i guess my crits made it look like i thought the whole thing was shit. its aesthetically pleasing, the fill is cool albeit raping my eyes like i had ADHD. but when you look at the structure its off, hence why we always tell him to go simpler.
GuyGuyer of Guyland
06-01-2010, 11:51 PM
yes, he needs to go simpler. no he dosent need to rock block letters. yes, he should.
he's having fun and trying to improve a bit. he dosent need to take letter formation as serious as many do because he dosent take graffiti as a whole that serious.
helpful tips will show him the right direction. but it seems he just wants to doodle around like a typical 13 year old. i doubt he's into graffiti for any clout or wall painting sense or whatnot.
realize different people need different approaches when it comes to tips. the way you said it, he wont listen to anything you said. rather than being nice and have him listen to half of what ive said.
maybe he'll realize he wants to paint in the future and when he does. he'll realize that shit wont look too fly on a wall. at that point in his life. he'll revert to block letters to regain some of what he missed.
i dont disagree with you, but the way you threw it at him just seemed over the top

Thanks, dude. I've been tweaking a little bit on paper with pencil. Small bends in letters and curves and some extensions. Just been workin' on each individual letter but still a little apprehensive. Messin' with drop shadows/3D from different angles. I'll probably keep rockin' straights for a while as I work on paper. Hopefully it all evolve into something better someday.

Flipping chickens- You gotta just focus on the basic of graffiti, the letter bends and all the drippy shit and colours are cool but the structure is pretty lacking. You should be able to rock a solid 2 colour piece befor your go all out with effects and shit. That whole Ive been writing for 5 years and filled 7 black books aint something to stand by. Its up to YOU to get better, Its all about self motivation. I'm not trying to put you on blast this is just a general holla to most of the kids on the forum.
We all get harsh crits on the site but proove the fools wrong and work hard and come back with a sketch that will leave them speechless.
Ive seen so many kids on the site just do the same shit all the tiome and never change up there shit and stay super toy for the whole time I've been on here., I know its the number one rule of graffiti but bite graffiti. Get ideas from other styles, who the fuck cares, your a toy and just draw that shit over and over till its not the same anymore and its a new letter structure, Every one has seen that letter they liked and tried it out & I'll be the first one to say, Most of my styles have come from one bitten letter I'll see in a piece I really like that has one of my letters. Ill combine it with my own and I'll tweak it and work with it and sooner or later itill be a completely different letter. I'll post some progression pics in abit...

the O is fresh, the E is nearly point on. the top half of your T is dope. keep it up man
just keep sketchin. 5 outlines a day, no color. thats how you get your letters bang on yah dig?

thanks guys, i agree about the second one, i didn't really like it either, hah. I'll fix those things RES4, thanks.
Meph, I can't really critique it as graffiti, but as a drawing in general I dig it, and -hell yes- an AE86, one of my favorite cars, easily.

Slape its too much color too soon, even if it was dope, it wont save your lacking letter structure

Tofe, i didnt straight out say quit graffiti. i said if you cant follow the advice we've been giving for awhile then just quit. harsh but thats how i crit, along with a few others on this site. but all e beef aside that outline on the far right set of pictures you did on the last page was rockin i wont lie. i still dont like the extension on the top of the O and the top of the F but keep at it.
Zenn: i havent seen you post anything in a long time man, if ever. Not startin beef at all but for the first thing ive seen from you that style is wicked dude. on a side note that R and K look like the exact opposite if you know what i mean, but maybe thats how you wanted it i dunno!
Kilt: good to see your startin the simples, i would say maybe space your letters out a tiny bit because they look a bit crowded, also try and fix the way your bending them because they are going like this /\/\ if you understand that? make em flow the same way. if you havent checked out the new to graffiti thread in this side of the forum you should cause its really helpful.
ill post pics for all the talking soon but my cam shit itself this week and hasnt wiped its ass yet.

kilt i like the fact you took the advice man, good job, its lookin decent for how new you are but like the guy above me said the I is a bit too hidden and the symmetrical I and L arent working too well. following our advice lead to that mistake but its all good haha, just either try and add a small extension to that L n the back or tweak the top of that L a bit more so it pushes away from the I if you understand. if not just find your own way to space em out. either way keep it up.

gettin better. next time space out the i and the l which has already been said and maybe try and smooth the bend instead of pointed like that you know?
try and make the bottom left bar of the k follow the flow of the rest. it sort of sticks out and kills the flow/movement whatever

He gave you criticism to progress your style. Go simpler. It'll be the most productive thing you can do right now.
I'd recommend bending your letters like < instead of like > if you're flowing that way. That S is hideous though. Keep at it. You'll get there.

To be honest, that K doesn't look like a K at all. More like a down syndrome X. The rest of the letters have potential. Lose that K, like.. yesterday.

Can I just say, I like how you attempt to switch up some of the style/s of your letters. However, you always stay consistent with that T. Personally speaking ( which you may not like it ) that T fucks up the possibilities on a majority of your sketches/ pieces whatever. The fact that you have these bars coming in odd directions off of the foundation of a lowercase T make it look like a mess. I would say, stop making the lowercase T with all that shit on it. 100 times. Break out of that cycle, because as much as you may like it.. it just doesn't fit with all of it.
Just saying.

angle the two vertical bars on the A more towards each other, so the intersect more. and the LT looks like it's angle more upwards then the PA. make sure all your letters are angled in the same direction. and the rounded top part of the P is too skinny. yo?

red eyes: watch your structre/flow on that S.
zbre: i like that style, really original. Just be careful with that R. Wasn't able to really tell whether it was an R or a X. And that Z can be mistaken for a lower case E.
tofe: better but work on flow and just because you are using bars doesn't mean you are using letter structure. watch where you are putting them.
FlippingChickens
06-07-2010, 07:25 PM
whats with those triangles your putting in every letter? all the letters need work but i say focus mainly on the a and r and e for now
Safe that a looks gross, the F doesnt go out far enough, and the e goes too far. PS No ones gonna suck your dick
BlacktodaFuture
06-07-2010, 08:03 PM
The A is gross. i agree. i've been working on a few different ones.
the triangle things on every single letter is called flow. (doing the same thing to each letter making it consistent, like how the bottom of the S is balancing out the bottom of the E) and the F is more hidden then the E bc an F can easily be mistaken for an E. trying to make it more prominent to being an F and different. still got a few kinks to work out. thx for the crits though.
