sorry for the over sized pics forgot to re-size them and got lazy to fix it

[*Patch!]

yank im feeling those, nice and simple but you should resize so i dont need to scroll to see them all lol

and yeah St3vo im tryin to stylize my bars thats why im adding stupid blocks but it doesnt seem to work that great haha

[St3vO]

Bend em. You can only do so much with perfectly straight bars. Don't do too much like I did with those E's cuz that looks like hell haha. I'll do an actual piece with my regular letters and post that. Gonna have to go nab some pencils tho, I've been using pens for everything recently and it's a bitch

little bit newer then the other ones that i have posted snew my man with the hot fingers me doing a throw for him, UB Unified Brothers, cell phone pick of my yank done a little while ago but still i like it well the fill, and re-sized the pics

[*Patch!]

Yank that green one is fierce. You made a wicked fill using one color

heres my attempt at bending... I think the A may be bitten, i remember i used to draw it all the time in my notebooks at school but i dont remember if i came up with it on my own or not lol. So if its bitten my bad. Not feeling the A anyways it just doesnt fit with this piece
http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac329/uKnobGobblers/scan0013.jpg

Crits plz

[-Empty-Can-]

yank-doppee. really feelin those

mak- A is gay but im feelin the rest

[xXABEONEXx]

patch, we should exchange so i have somethin to practice from, your simps are wut i need to b doin, helpa fellow out^^

[rewz]

i kindda like it mak the k doesnt flow with the m but if you make it a little fatter like the m then it will and bend it to if you want i will do an name exchange with you so i can show you what i mean and i feel that style to its diffrent the a is trash tho try to make it a little simpler so it flows a bit more

[*Patch!]

yeah im down for an exchange. I probably wont have it done til the end of the weekend tho cause im pretty busy with work but hit me up with a pm

[xXABEONEXx]

[Sbal]

Abe, not liking it. All of the letters being connected like that make it look like a jumbled mess. That K is seriously lacking, that backwards R threw me off for a P or something, and that hole in the D seems too small. No hate or anything, just pointing out what I don't like.

[PREA672]

nsakrew.

[dinedgc]

that's got mad potential shem, keep working with it and see how many lines you can get rid of and still read it, diggin the abstractness of it

back 2 th drawin bord....lol

[*Patch!]

abe it looks pretty good but the R is kinda weak, im not a fan of backwards letters tho
Grim i think it could look good but the R and I arent doing it for me, you should
Shem im really digging that except for the E, i just dont really like that curve at the top

Anyways i did this today, a simple... yet again lol. Rocked Yank's style for the A
http://i912.photobucket.com/albums/ac329/uKnobGobblers/scan0016.jpg

[filur]

Patch: Really liking that! Maybe could do something even better with the K?

Heres some new stuff from sweden, my first drawing so go easy on me :)

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd360/DanneWalle/IMG_0627.jpg

And a lil' throwie.

http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd360/DanneWalle/IMG_0624.jpg

[*Patch!]

that throw isnt bad but on the piece you need to try and keep all your bars the same width and it'd probably come out looking better, also try not to have the U overlap the bottom of the L so much, and you should round the R because most of your bars are curved so it'd just flow better. And dont worry about arrows and extensions, they're over rated anyways. I know it sounds like im being hard on you but im just tryng to help out

[TheToy]

feelin the second one. letters could use a bit more curve thoguh

[Gatsoi]

Other than the arrows I like the first one a lot filur.

http://i880.photobucket.com/albums/ac9/gatsoi/hhgfbvbvn.jpg
Is this cute?

[drOping]

filur-why is the hole so small on the R? fix that NOW!!
Gatsoi-if that says grim...well i just can hardly read it....go for a more clean look

[Cyto Aka Son1c]

TOFE- stick to simple, no extension peices , I mean really everytime you try and add flare to your shit it fails miserably. All your stuff is awkward and not pleasant to look at. Just work on those letters man.

MEko- awesome, TOFE needs to get influenced from the work you've been putting out, your stuff is so legit.

and here's something that's unfinished.. can't figure out what I want to do with the R and what to use as a fill.

do that same piece but lose every arrow and itll look betta

[Phillip McDougall]

D looks like a lowercase A, and the S should be round

[nickstix]

I know its sloppy but I was sketching it just quick to get the idea down...

The 2nd scetch is nice man. But i don't like that mid. bar on F.

new simp:)
first one i really liked..
first two letters r meko bites, the last two r from deres.

handy progress..
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9068/004fiq.jpg

[Zookyook]

kers i dont like the extension off the top of that S... and biting when u know ur biting isnt a good idea, at least not full letters, u can take an idea for parts of each letter and then tweak them to make them ur own but dont directly steal whole letters


i know my T looks like a G and it needs more to it... and the overall structure sucks but i did this pretty quick, coulda been worse... the picture came out like shit cuz i had to use a webcam :-/ its much more vibrant to the naked eye
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4135/4780724920_973abf9393_b.jpg

[IbuprofenTablets]

What's it say? The only thing I can identify is the T.
You say there's a G, but all I see is mad bars, and a T.
I Tried looking at it like 5times before typing this, and I still can't read the G, or whatever's before the G.

[-Empty-Can-]

This and ONLY this.

http://i850.photobucket.com/albums/ab66/pics4bscience4/DSCN3446.jpg
I'm kinda feelin' the throw though.

[Zookyook]

that sucks lol... its says NAT... i thought the A was the most legible... and there is no G, i said my T looks too much like a G though

i know, and i do tweak em, im going to use those letters and just develope them into my own. im just honest about biting, and i think its like a complement, like, yo, your style is so fresh i had to try that shit.
and i allways give credit where it b due, so i dont see the problem.

I think the N could use a lil bit of tweaking. The way the N is it kinda makes the A hard to read.

Dope shit though.

[Zookyook]

thanks for all the crits yo... i did that one kinda fast but i learned from my mistakes and itll show in the next piece that i do that way... i hope

that says fresk right? the s on the first one is beast,k looks good but i think u should kick out the bottom right more,all the other letters dont looks bad but they need to still be played with,the bottom page f is sick and everything about the k is dope except at the top part of the k sticking out to the right

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/flippinchickens/DSCN3464.jpg

[No_TomorroW]

Thanks for crits Tofe.
Yes,it says Fresk.
I think you should add one more connection like between T an F, and your E looks like euro
sign so I think you can use it and make one more sketch witch euro instead of E.

tomorrow - nice flow, def dig the first one. but i dont like the R
meko, 2nd flick i like, good proportions, thats something i'd like to see on a wall

[mexico]

fresk_ i like, feels like the top of the R on the first one need more definition
tofe_ good progression anyway, your background splat is cool and well executed but focus on your letters
meko_ i dog thsoe blue throws the most, keep on rockin it.

http://i32.tinypic.com/nb0vl.jpg
latest thing im happy with, obviously needs color, etc but im just trying out these new ideas

[..romero..]

meko your letters are nice but you need to work on your handstyles.your writes are like 4 or 5 months farther back in progression.may i suggest makeing your m's less like this m and more like this M.it would flow better with the rest of your letters in the tag.your trying to use a soft m with that hard k and it doesnt work well.just sayin you..



are names are so similar i just thought id throw my .02 cents in there.i would show you what i was talking about but i dont have a printer at the moment haha.

[SicK-]

Meko- I love your style dude its really sick, umm i think your throwie could use a little work

http://i456.photobucket.com/albums/qq287/flippinchickens/DSCN3464.jpg
make this one a lowercase e, get rid of the tf connection and curve the f more to match the t

on the second blue one lose the connection and make the e smaller and your good

[idk401]

http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee326/urboynoe93/220527.jpg

5min simple ....tofe if you gave your self advice you would be better.

[nickstix]

idk401- The letters and drop shadow are great. I think maybe the shading on the inside of the letters could be blended alittle more though

Flippingchickens- Try not to cover your 'O' so much, start by getting rid of the connection between the T and F. The E seems to be the letter your having trouble with, try messing around with a lowercase 'e' or a capital 'E' thats not as curvy

[nickstix]

Twyst- the flic in the middle has the most potential. the first one I couldnt really read untill I saw your others. On the last, dont connect the letters, and the twists are kind of odd on some spots...only really works on the T I guess. Stick with keyboard letters like in your second flic for now, dont overlap them so much.

Tofe- the orange and yellow simple is looking alot better, try not to make your E bigger than the other letters. The throw in the same flic is good.

[aces]

Some new stuff. Need to clean this shit lol
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/1694/dsc0214l.jpg
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/5733/dsc0215g.jpg

I think that they both look really nice but to me the E in the first one is weak and the S in the second one is weak so if you had the E from the second in the first as well and the S from the first in the second as well they it would be really well put together. Would love to see some sketches cleaned up!

Gum - that's a sweet throwie it really flows and the letters play off eachother very well. Keep it up!

Tofe - Your throwie in that last picture is really really clean I guess the only advice I could give you there would be to scoot the O a little to the left because it feels like it should have a gap between it and the T in that one. And you're handstyle is good too just don't like the halo they almost never do it for me.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4136/4798228232_c24f613da5_b.jpg
and that is my first non-simple bubble/block letter sketches so can anyone give me some crit on my letter structure, i'm not too happy with it but i figured i'd throw it up since i have it

and seeing as my handstyle is literally non-existent (i suuuck) the backgrounds are kinda empty but whatever just working on structure i guess

[LeaksOne]

build off that shiller one. not the fill though or the ridiculous drips. keep it simple like that one. but tweak your E

[drOping]

I see the shiller having the most potential, try to clean it up a bit. I don't like how that E is so small on the Fate deal. I like the top part of the R on the last one. Keep em comin'

[drums]

thanks for the crits, i'm workin on my background for a piece right now cuz its just flowing out of me lol. i need to learn handstyle so bad tho...

[LeaksOne]

then stop doing pieces and focus on your handy. its essential.

crits?

D looks like an O, or even an A at an angle... Work on straight keyboard letters before putting all those kinks in. No hate, but that's a lame fill, shoulda left it empty or went with a solid color. The D in your tag is to small in the hole but the legs go back over the M too far. Give crits to get them next time. Also, is MDT a crew or your initials? What's that all about.

i don't know if it's just me mfatik, but it looks like you bit the bottom one dude. you see the style in the one at the top then the one at the bottom? completely progressed and different. maybe not though. loki, diggin the fill.

[Zookyook]

aspek u in chitown??? i cant see too much influence in ur sketch besides the A and the separate bar in the P... id like to see something from u that doesnt flare out at the bottom, like all ur letters always are thin on top and thick on the bottom, switch it up and maybe ull like what comes out...

loki i dont like the wonky arrow extensions... if u dont like typical graff u dont have to go out and paint any... ill admit when i started painting i wanted to rock pieces and ive painted AND sketched a few wack pieces, but once u get serious about wanting to develop ur own style, u realize that u haveta go simpler to progress faster..... its just better to practice with simpler letters if u want to progress into ur own style and not constantly put up stuff no one likes to see... im not saying conform, i never would, but starting with the basics is just part of the game

[nickstix]

Meph- Maybe try placing the letters as more of a part of the brain rather than a tumor sticking out the side...other than that it looks cool

Sbal- try sketching keyborad letters using bars. If you need help with bars look at the new to graff thread.

weakfingers- That belongs on a wall. pleasing to the eyes.


Something I started for the Break battle, Only an outline for now b/c I might re-do it. The E, A, and K are alittle close because I started running out of page.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r98/nickstix91/blah/DSCN5262.jpg

Should I add 3-D and fill? or Re-do it with better spacing? also advice on the letters would be nice.

crits?

[LeaksOne]

i dont like how the left leg of the A goes into the E

[LeaksOne]

hahaha, why.. i dont know, i drew the flower for a friend and it was in my blackbook so i just tryed to give it the graffiti feel i guess

the flower and background are fine but the arrows are uneccessary and ridiculous. ruins the whole thing for me.

[nickstix]

i dont like how the left leg of the A goes into the E

Yea I dont really like that either, but wanted to make sure I fit the K on the page and couldnt make it fit a better way that looked good. didnt feel like erasing the entire thing.

o well I decided to add 3d and a little color...

Sorry. Didn't mean to rant/insult like I did.
But still, just fucks me off to see writers throwing away really good advice because they think they're much better than they are.
You're right, I don't NEED to like it. But if Loki is hoping to get real props from anyone on this site, she should probably at least be a bit more respectful about the help people are trying to give her.
By all means Loki, do what you want, dare to be different. But above all, aim to improve by any means necessary; even if you have to 'conform' a little bit for now.

Extinct - Could write an essay on what's wrong with that piece but.....
remember, anyone can colour in. You really need to study other letters a lot, then apply parts of what you see. Draw your letters and keep working and reworking and reworking them until youre really happy with them. Then you can think about colours.

Weakfingers - I'm a big fan of your throwies. Never been able to do them so well myself. Big props

Meph* - There's nothin wrong with the colouring, its just that the whole page has no depth. You really need to work into it, making parts darker and lighter. That top piece looks like its supposed to be 3d, but you cant tell cos theres no shadow or sheen on it.

i like the reflection and 3d but the letters could use some more...i duno...style? put more time into the letters and less on the background shit

[extinct]

thanks man... im kinda thinkin of jus spammin "Q" every where instead of eqs but still...
pce

[nickstix]

extinct- You have some cool ideas but wait on that stuff for awhile and just work on letters. Using bars sketch letters that look like how they do on your keyboard. For instance the top bars on your e dont line up right. and the top right section of the s the 3d should be overlapping the main letter. Also i didnt get that the thing in the middle was a Q untill I saw your tag. Tag needs some work, go simpler. Keep sketching


Something I started tonight in a friends book, calling it a night and leaving it as a pencil outline for now, finish it tomorrow.

baron: nice fucking work, simply dope.

2FNK?: start with straight lines, I used to do this until i realized it was shit because I just put random bumps outta no where. Try SUPOZ just like that then advance from there.

[4HER]

thanks for the crits, i wanted to use shining and shower but at the same time i dont want to fuck it up cuz im not that good at shadowing

I know exactly where youre coming from, but try not to be too precious about your work.
Usually when ive done a sketch and im gonna colour it, i scan it and print a few rough copies to try stuff out on.
If you dont have a scanner, then just trace and copy some sample parts of your sketch onto paper to try different shading techniques on.
I think it could be lookin nice if you get a proper metallic look going on that piece and some shading on the tyres and body of the car..


Bump for crits

The actual letter structure is pretty decent on this, but certain parts could do with tightening up.
Those rounded ends at the bottom of the R and M, for example. Theyd probably look a lot better if they were sharper, like the ends of the E you got.
The R would probably look nicer without the bent leg in it too. More like a standard keyboard R, if you get me?


Thanks for the advice.. ive been playin around with a small e an a whole lot of random stuff... so here iz a small quick <i dont know> (gatta keep practicing)
crits an tips plz

Aside from other things, i think your pencil control is letting you down quite a lot. Its really really sketchy, like the lines dont look very considered. Take your time over it. Do what nickstix said (nice sketch nickstix btw).

[Meph*]

thanks again for the crits...ill try those tips and yeh my hands are very shaking so sketching is the only way i know of drawing :S and its a P not an R (just clarifying it)

atleast you didn't get ripped on ^

[ASHiS]

haha! Thx man.. Guess I'm tryn too hard.. I'll draw simple first.. And the arrow was suppossed to be from the h.. Just sayn.. Idk.. I like it..

[extinct]

ok then..
ashis- from a toy... arrows add flow.. placing them randomly isnt balanced or flowing
posek- thats dope
bedhead- i like the top one but i hate the character...

[nickstix]

EQS- dont do sketches like that anymore. draw simples, like how they look on the keyboard. exactly like this: EQS then post

Ashis- same thing, do it like this: ASHIS with no arrows or extensions. sketch with bars

Posek and Bedhead your sketches are good I like them

fresk intermediate thread

[sezer]

hey man you cant make that shit up, everyone's gonna approve before you can make him to the intermediate thread :\

in other words looks fine.

[RES4]

aspek u in chitown??? i cant see too much influence in ur sketch besides the A and the separate bar in the P... id like to see something from u that doesnt flare out at the bottom, like all ur letters always are thin on top and thick on the bottom, switch it up and maybe ull like what comes out...

no im from the mecca of hip hop aka belfast

by switching it up you mean using straight bars or flaring at the top?

[Phillip McDougall]

Fresker, that belongs in the Intermediate thread.

[4HER]

FRESK... tasty.
I think id only suggest that maybe you be careful not to let the letters merge together too much? The letters are real nice but theyre gettin cramped, particularly on the second one..

you dont get much love because its gay... it did turn out bad. concentrate on your letters. and all that stuff hiphop lives blabla rap is dying blablabla my heart bleeds because the decay of culture (which youve never really experienced from what i can tell) all that crap makes you look way too gay to give love.

EQS Man... maybe im playin devils advocate here, so to speak, but....
Maybe you should give up on letters altogether and be a character writer? Its obvious that youre way more interested in that kinda shit.
Ive certainly known some people in my time who just do crazy characters and murals but dont bother with pieces much, just a couple handstyles here and there...
If you were to do that though, would be best to move away from cliche hiphop shit...

[Ronathon]

Hey guys, Im fairly new to this. Heres some pages from my blackbook. Id really appreciate some honest (and detailed if possible) feedback.
Please ignore any crowns and or words saying king. I know Im still a toy.
I do need help with my colours but some of the ones here are cause Im low on pens. But I have found a great 'supplier' so Im slowly building up my collection. ;)
And obviously on some of the black & white pics the 'colours' are just bleed through.
Also ignore notes such as 'done on cap' or 'cycle helmet'. I customise clothes so those are for my reference.

I write Cuban or C75.

And I havent gone through the whole sticker thread but does anyone know where to get free stickers in the UK? Apart from racking them obviously.

yo cuban the one with wings is dope

[mexico]

cuban_ hey man you have some solid stuff, all kinda retro LA status.
prea_ saw you other stuff, liek that KEEN much better. fucking love that blocky shit, you gotta roller that on a wall. i think your N needs a slightly thinner diagonal bar, maybe dont bring it all the way to the bottom of the right bar.

any words of wisdom, chapos? 3d is not perfect.
http://i28.tinypic.com/e9gi86.jpg

[sezer]

rekt: nice work, better then probably what I could do, but Fix the top of the T, watch the letter's width because i think it could totally mess you up

extinct: wtf?

baron: nice fucking work, simply dope.

weakfingers: same message I gave baron.

2FNK?: start with straight lines, I used to do this until i realized it was shit because I just put random bumps outta no where. Try SUPOZ just like that then advance from there.


anyways, crits?

http://i32.tinypic.com/2zhk4lh.jpg

I know the height isnt exactly straight, i'm super tired but an urge to do this :p

vbump

[Flawless Victory]

That shit on the S and R is unnecessary, the hole in the E too.

that keen up there would make a straight roller, or like a big ass spot

[b SQUARED 08]

Another sketch for a friend of mine:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj168/Griffery0508/Photo46.jpg

[sezer]

NosE2: work on it, especially the E, it looks really weird with the middle bar close to the top like that but I really like the 1st one you posted. i'm talking about the 2nd post.

lost_is_getting_up: work on it man, start simple for now and then advance from time to time, then you can start adding shit to your letters.

lost_is_getting_up: <just another one.... any comment? -SNIP-> basically what I said for your 1st one. but in conclusino you need to start simple bro and advance from other writers but dont bite them. that's the only way you'll get better and you're putting alot of hard effort in your work then alot of us says that it is ugly.

kelsey: pretty nice, I'd fix up that L and aswell with the S. not really feeling it but yeah.

anyways here is my piece, crits?

http://i25.tinypic.com/2i8dao6.jpg

crits?

[Ronathon]

Thanks for the comments guys.

@Prea
The K is obviously in front of the other letters as told by the 3d and overlap but then the other letters, especially the second E, look like they are just next to each other. You could try angling the bottom bar of the E's. That would give more opportunity for the shadow to do the same as the K. I know that would possibly mean switching up the E's altogether but try it. Make the diagonal bar of the N like the top diagonal bar of the K. So it mirrors it a bit. It will also make the N a bit thinner.

@Mexico
I like it but theres something that just looks wrong with the 3D on that bar coming down. And tbh Im not sure what. It may just be the way youve shaded it. Even the pencil lines tell a story and add direction that may be unintended. (Can you tell I went to art school lol)

@B Squared
Lovin that Kelsey! Good colour work.

@Sezer
I agree about those unnecessary bits. Especially just having the one hole on the last pic there. Id make the letters a bit more bold (they seem to thin out a bit at the bottom) and bring that green colour higher so it looks like an equaliser. But thats just me lol. Id def bring them higher tho. The colours on the shadow need changing up. I think the gray (?) needs to be darker. Try going over it with the red already on there, I think it might work. Im rubbish at doing that style on shadow tbh. I need to work on it mself.

[Zookyook]

by switching it up you mean using straight bars or flaring at the top?

either or... i just meant avoiding the flare at the bottom, u could do either one and itd be different

and i asked if u were in chicago cuz i saw the xmen piece that u were taking influence from, i thought u actually TOOK that picture not just took it from the net haha

[4HER]

http://i801.photobucket.com/albums/yy292/michaelstolz/002-4.jpg

my N needs some lovin for you critters out there

N's tend to look best when you got two thick verticals with a skinny diagonal

[mexico]

tofe_ yes! man keep workin' on it, good progression. that gumwad piece needs wallspace if you clean up your T, and maybe chop off the little top nubbin.

misoe_ I like both of these, they have merit but I feel liek your getting distracted by details. The I in your first one could be just a rectangle, with no dot, anyway it needs a little tweaking. I do not liek how your second M gets smaller on the bottom. love that "fresh gang" lettering, under the second one.

seyr_ get those letters nice and consistent and you will have a great starting point. once you've got a few sketches of those and all the bars are pretty even you can start to think on how you want to warp them.

b squared_ dude, sooo retro i almost didn't like it, then i realized it was mad clean and the steez was all consistent, thumbs up.

[Meph*]

tofe- i like the top siple up on the first one a lot and i think the second one would look a lot better if you do straight letters and keep the pink O as is, i see you getting better with those two styles

misoe- i dig everything on the first one except the i, looks a little squished in, and the character on the second is straight.

http://i939.photobucket.com/albums/ad240/Meph_one/Picture.jpg
