sup guys

ive not done anything in a while this is my first piece in months, can I get crits on my letters cuz I know my colours are shit, just working wit wot I got

I'm not an expert, but I'm not feeling the W, the gangbang of the I, or the L. The letters look disjointed where they meet, the shapes are all over the place with length and width. Try fatten some of the bars like on the W and making it look like it's one item and not a bunch of things thrown up. The 3D also look a bit off on the L and W. As for the color scheme, don't both adding color if you don't like it. Why settle when you have a choice in the matter?

^........................................."the shapes are all over the place with length and width" ........................wtf are you talking about

@willis the L is real bad, take the little bend at the top out, and take the extension on the bottom bar off

Too wide of space between letter bars and the I is too slim. Also a letter in graffiti is made of shapes, not actual form in most cases.

Here's one I drew back in '09, just wondering what you guys think of this style. I might work with it more. JASB

[TastyMcNasty]

rasm- not bad, but some of your bars are a little off (i.e. height width)... and you got any new flicks to show?

id prefer to get crits on the piece, seeing as how i only seem to ever get critiqued on the throws nowadays...

[dankbudz]

for the piece id lower that bar on the R down and not cover the left bar on the A so much.
I also dont really like that crazy lil curl on the right leg of the R.
thats all i got aha

your dumb, im not even going to try and explain to you why because it will just go over your head

@tasty i think me and phat critted you in the exchange thread, not on this particular piece but the same crits apply to this 1, I think your letters look best when you dont make the bars look like theyre on top of eachother like the S as opposed to the A and R ya digg? Cause the A would look better if the insides were all clean instead of the middle bar being on top of the other 2 ya digg?

I like the A and the R on that piece much better than the S and the O. Although I do think it would look better if you hadn't made the horizontal bars look as though they're overlapping the rest of the letters, especially on the A. The shape of the O seems odd to me, and the extended bottom of the S is just way to big in comparison to the top curve. That's just my two cents, take it or leave it. Not too shabby overall though. The 3D looks pretty solid.

[Rasm]

dankbudz, not too bad for a simple. The A and C look like they're tilted a little more to the left than the R, E, and H, which didn't help the flow. The 3D seems pretty solid though.

I did this recently but wasn't really feeling it at the time, so I threw the 3D and outline on it without giving a fuck. Says Egor. Enjoy, if possible.

extict, that a class room table? ahah best way to get through maths ;)

[SicK-]

Soar- i think you need to just try a whole new style, cause that shit isnt working at all. i havent seen much progression from you at all over the past four months. so just start doing other styles it makes your progress much faster.
Rasm- Your shit is pretty good there are some areas in all of the peices that could use work ex the bottom bar of the L and the leg of the R on the BLOXOR piece
Wil- Its decent i dont really know what to crit other then just keep workin those letters and itll come eventually
Dank- That is tits, one of the best things ive seen from you, you could definitely work on that R though
Egor- Your lines are mad shakey and your E sucks but other then that its not that bad

There you go faggots.

[Willis1989]

Simplified my I and L and pushed letters closer, is this any better guys?

http://i815.photobucket.com/albums/zz72/willis1690/2011-06-02111640.jpg?t=1307009869

Egor - I like your letters maybe make the middle bar in the E a little longer to get rid of that dead space
Bloxor - I like that, dont know if you really needs the extra bars at the bottom corners but its nice.

[Tempo718]

nice work dank

exchange with ribcage

my hand shook on that exclamation point :(
the edges are to sharp and the shadow is off a bit
the R can use more work it looks like it has downsindrome ahahhahah
but the rest isnot that bad

I'm fine with that. Guess I'm not cool enough for the underground hip hop scene huh? :P

Well you have your little scene and I'll go and write on stuff with some totally gay ass smashing pumpkins on loop in my head. But seriously though, that W is wack.

[dankbudz]

yo, Skinaone,
what are you talking about with the shadows are off? on the piece?
and yeah i agree with the R, also the A isnt grand. Shit always looks better till a few hours after you finish it. it suckks.

[skinaone]

at the bottom of the R i see it kinda off idk too low dont you think ?

[ribcage]

I'm fine with that. Guess I'm not cool enough for the underground hip hop scene huh? :P

Well you have your little scene and I'll go and write on stuff with some totally gay ass smashing pumpkins on loop in my head. But seriously though, that W is wack.

again, wtf are you talking about? Lol I am not having a "scene", your just either new or retarded. Idk whats worse, his W or your crits. I was gonna just leave it at "your dumb" because I aint want to call you out over the internet. But while im having my "scene" im gonna go out and paint while you draw on a taco bell chair with a sharpie.

Egor- Your lines are mad shakey and your E sucks but other then that its not that bad
Yup I was just fucking around with symmetry on that Bloxor piece and like I said, the Egor piece is whack. The lines are shaky because it was a rough sketch that I stopped caring about. Thanks for the crits though.


Egor - I like your letters maybe make the middle bar in the E a little longer to get rid of that dead space
Bloxor - I like that, dont know if you really needs the extra bars at the bottom corners but its nice.Yeah there definitely is some dead space in that Egor piece, and I was just getting fancy on the Bloxor one. I normally struggle the most with add-ons, because I always feel like I'm adding random shit that the piece never needs. So I usually end up with simples, haha.

Here's some newer and slightly better shit. Still fucking around with styles and letters. Notice how they're all so simple. The oTang one was the quickest so it's probably the worst. http://www.bombingscience.com/graffitiforum/showthread.php?663-Tot-Black-Books&p=1723562&viewfull=1#post1723562

@tasty keep on keepin on
@stigma i cant read either.........

@dank if your lurking im about 20-45 minutes away from finishing your exchange, it lookin aight i think

[dankbudz]

haha im always lurking, man.

Stigma- i mean that looks nice, but im not a big fan of a shit ton of extentions, i could decifer that GRAD, but the JASON one the S is kinda like an infinite sign or 8. basically small things on letter structure and clenlieness


so this piece is beyond shit. just postin it for talking, might redo it with major revisions

hahahaha that's a funny train man
my favorite part is the toss at the bottom there
but definite props on the effort.
and also big props to church and ribcage, those sketches are illmatic, even though ribcage seems like he's on some reallll trippy shit right there with those fills haha groovy mate

[dankbudz]

yo Dave, try color that shit a bit cleaner, take your tiiime man.

so i went out today to check out this place, surprisingly it still had mad burners, except some douchers dissed out some mad dope shit.
anyway, it got me inspired to actually do some drawing today
Many things are wrong with the Coke, but i kinda busted it out... thats my excuse ;)

coke looks like goke
hahaha it nice though

shrooms looking good

Working on my bars. Did a lot of names in here just to work on different letters. Thoughts?

[FACTone]

new one

[dankbudz]

Exact- looks sick, i would lower those 2 bars on the X and A.

colored this in, i hate how the coke looks like gore.

[FlatScank]

tryin' a new style, only 3 letters, crits please.

[dankbudz]

you clearly got drawing and painting in themselves down, but you really gotta work on letter structure. doesnt mean you gotta drop the style, just hit up simples and see how that helps, because that piece could easily be mistaken as SZB. its a streatch, cause you can distinguish the F with the middle bar and tell its an A simply because the lower extension isnt connecting, but its the fact that your extensions are so big.
In some places the extensions bigger then the bars of the letter itself, and the fact that they are placed in areas which could make it into a different letter, like the L, makes it turn into a Z. Hope you take some of this to hear cause ive seen people tell you to make your stuff simpler and you continuously would paint the same piece but with a different extension.
Extensions arent everything, they can look hella sick, or gay as fuck.

[weedeater]

^^^ you just wasted a lot of time typing that. EVERYONE has been telling him his letters are wack and he needs to drop his extensions.... so he adds more extensions and rounds the edges of his letters instead of keeping them sharp like he has been doing. obviously he can paint, and he gets up (even though they are all legals) so respect for that i guess, but he's going backwards in terms of progressing. im sick of him asking for crits, he needs to start saying "hop on my dick if you like it, dont post if you dont". not trying to hate, but as much as flat and as good as he is at painting, his shit be sooooo fire if he'd listen to the dudes on here.

[DaFugg]

It's a nice style if you dont give a shit what people think it says. I got S2A or SZB/A I never suspected FLA if that's what it is. There's too many extensions that make it look like multiple letters. I cant tell you what to do because your skill surpasses mine but if you want crits I'd say make your letters more distinguishable.

Anyone got anything to say in regards to the two I posted?

[dankbudz]

they looking good, i didnt look to much at them, got bars and structure, keep it up
i just wouldnt do brown fill on black 3d, haha

[DaFugg]

Anyone that can help me with handstyle I really need it. Anyone wanna give me something for inspiration? I write MAK if anyone can help.
And thanks for the advise. They were my only two markers so I was kinda hapy with it. The flash made it darker than it is lol

[Hulk]

Crits anyone?24825

[Ace.K]

I like it a lot, but the one thing I can find is that your S kinda resembles a B. Otherwise its a dope piece.

And are your 3D's supposed to be inconsistent?

[dankbudz]

haha i loled at that that second part, ace.k
not sure if it was a joke though...

Hulk- try and keep bar width consistent and work on the U S and T. mainly S and T.

[TastyMcNasty]

^^ its like the blind leading the blind...

not to be offensive (especially because my skills arent too great), but that DUST piece is wack... to begin, the extensions and connections should be saved until you are of a higher skill level, equal bar width is non-existent, 3D is waayyy off the S doesnt look like and S at all it looks more like a B (like ACEK said), and most importantly structure seems to be completly lacking in that piece...

like i said not trying to be a dick just trying to help, so take the advice and start simple and you'll be on your way... peace

EDIT: i guess its kinda like the almost-blind leading the blind now haha

[Hulk]

Is this anybetter? (Sorry about the fills i do on here i got shit markers)

[dankbudz]

you dont gotta apolgize for shit you made, brah.
but i forgive you.

the D is your best letter, then the U, then the S, and that T is beyond shit. no hate. haha. and Tasty got you with the whole extensions and shit.
if you are honestly looking to progress and arent too in love what you have been doin, you gotta say fuck it and really work on letters. draw hella simples, same bar width, same height, on one line. the simpler the better untill you honestly know why you are doing what you are doing.

oh and that is lookin alot better then the first thing you posted.

[Hulk]

haha thanks homes. always like crits. but i know that T is fuckkin me over.

[Rasm]

@Dust, yeah, the second sketch is better than the first, but that's really not saying much. First off, they're practically the same, and you have to start switching it up more than that if you ever want to improve. Don't look at the first sketch when you draw the next, or else you end up with the same exact connections and letter shapes. Actually, drop the extensions and add-ons all together. You really need to go back to square one and work on your letter structure before you should be thinking about complexity. Try to keep the letter heights and widths consistent. The T is too tall and the U is much narrower than the rest of the letters. Also your 3D is atrocious. On the second sketch, it seems to be going down and to the left in most places, except for the very left part of the D where it goes to the right, and you left it out on the entire bottom of the piece. It also looks like the top of the S is mooning someone up there. These are just crits, and I'm no pro, but take 'em or leave 'em.

[dave the pirate]

unfortunately i have no sketch to post

To each his own. But I don't want to argue since it flares debates like no other. On with the sketches!

[dankbudz]

ribcage- thats quite unfortunate. there is a easy way to solve that though... draw some shiiit

yeah im with ace, fuck internet beef.

something new, crits on the style??

[thatswhatshesaid]

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/gangstaville/photo5.jpg


don't really piece or whatever any crits welcome

word.

don't mind the shitty coloring

also just noticed the lighter was right there

[Rasm]

@Shroomish, Looks good man. It might be a little over the top in some places, but I'm digging the style and I like the Z and the S a lot. I don't like the E and the R quite as much but they're not bad. This would look awesome on a wall.

@Gnar, Not too bad. The left side of the G is a little odd shaped. The N is funky but I like it, and I like the A too. I can definitely see some style in these letters. The R isn't bad either, just keep working with them if you don't like them. I found them tricky at first but now they're probably my favorite letter. Your bar height is consistent, and so is your letter height and width. Pushing the letters closer together would help with the flow, and throwing some 3D or drop shadow on would finish it off. Keep it up, you're on the right track.

[smack1one]

please crit
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j440/smack1one1/IMGA0083.jpg

[Rasm]

Try drawing straighter lines and keeping your letters the same width throughout. A couple of them are wider at the top than at the bottom. That would help your 3D look better too. The O is the best letter, but the 3D is a off on the right side.

[Tombie15]

Hi all. Crits please?
25095

[dankbudz]

make the N's the same, fix the O, fix the middle and bottom of the E, and remove the extension on the Y and fix the right also.
i would say stick to simples a while longer

here a sketch for talking
quickie while barely studying for math final, experimenting and shit, the D doesnt flow, but eh. tear this shit apart with crits.

[ribcage]

^None of that "flows" the top of the R is out of place, the A's top bar is deformed making the A deformed, and the D aint all that bad of a D except the top right corner of the straight vertical bar

i has pencil sketchs but they all unfinished, starting on an exchange for nesa, may put pics later, may not

lol algebra

[Tombie15]

make the N's the same
First one is an 'h'. Thanks though.

More shite...

tombie- some are better, stop doing that weird shit with the E's middle bar. its either smaller or equal length.
ribcage- thanks for them crits man, i feel like im slowly improving on making my letters flow, but thats probably me just bein dumb.
and yes... algebra, i hate math. its not my strong suite.

^^ Something i did for a friend.

Crits on all of the above btw, please. :D

[EWL24]

@dankbudz i like the R and D but i think u could have done better on the A

didnt get any crits on this last time, but now that i colored it i figured i post it up again
25108
crits please

[dankbudz]

keep your bars the same width, and do it like GETH
also on that character usually the flat part on the eye would be where the eye lid would be, so it kinda looks wonky. hands and feet are decent just needs minor work, if you are trying to improve that, just practice drawing your own hands. for characters it just takes alot of doodling random things

[Rasm]

@Geth, your 3D is really hurting in places, especially the top of the H, the inside of the G, and the entire E. Make sure you keep your bar width consistent. The bars on the E are so much narrower than the T, and the H is like that too. In some cases it's alright to have different widths, but here it's not working too well. The T also kills the flow of the GE because it's so thick and wide, and this piece would probably work better without it. Stay simple and keep working on that structure.

Jiska - I'd sketch a little more to get back into the habit of sketching, but your shit's pretty sweet.

No markers, all colored pencil and pen.

i would make your letters the same height and the same width

[dave the pirate]

@moon
The throw is pretty cool the rest not so much. Work on simple letter forms and loose the arrows and connections until u can make them work.

[Hulk]

First attempt on this 3D style. any crits?

[Fury]

Hulk, I can't read that.
Moon, the throw is okay, except the O's need a lot of work. Your extensions are all over the place, so just get rid of them until you get your structure down.

[Hulk]

Hulk, I can't read that.
Moon, the throw is okay, except the O's need a lot of work. Your extensions are all over the place, so just get rid of them until you get your structure down.

Nothin to read homes, just a design, haha im tryin to work with the whole color and the style soo i can get all my stuff figured out. ya know? its more of a feel im tryin to get ahold of and the concept is a little hard i think at time haha

[Phat 2]

I've got a can of black, a can of chrome, and a bucket of white paint, so I'm about to go roll this up on the highway tomorrow morning, any crits before I do?
auto-crit: I'm thinking a regular straight letter uppercase A with round edges instead of the @... y'all agree? or is the @ a good idea?

Go with a normal A. i say that @ sign throws it off a bit

[Fury]

^ That E is too far from the Z and looks like a different style from the rest of the letters. Try keeping your hand straight.
Phat, I'd go with an uppercase A also, but try to fit that style.

[EWL24]

thanks for the crits dankbuds and Rasm
what do you think of this? better?

@ Phat 2 the H looks weird like that i think you should change it to look like a normal H, and i agree with Hulk, go with the uppercase A

just colored this today, i know the lines are a bit wobbly in some places cause i don't have a steady hand
25158
Crits please

[DaFugg]

Just a suggestion, you dont have to follow it; but I'd work on my letter structure and syle a bit more before adding effect. It has a harsh flow. The letters are all of their own style it seems. But what do I know haha

[dankbudz]

Ewl- yeah, cut them effects right now, and do some simples. The G is looking weird cause of the curve bar turned straight. And the extension on the E and the bottom one on the G doent fit.
and youll get a steadier hand if you practice, shit like 4 months ago mine was wobbly as balls.

i really gotta post some picture in here, im been lazy as hell today.
FINALLY GOT PHOTOFUCKIT TO WORK... still had to attach it though. im not liking the S on drugs, its too long.
oh and homie did the character

[DaFugg]

Dank would you mind doing an exchange? Your stuffs sick.

[dankbudz]

check yo PMs

[Rasm]

@dave the pirate, That Droze sketch isn't bad, but I'm not really feeling the D, especially the bottom part, and same with the top part of the O. I think the cracks throw it off a little. The E is too tall too. Besides that it's solid, and there seems to be a good amount of structure in there.

@EWL, I see you're keeping it simple (besides the drips) which is good. I'm not feeling the G too much but it's not terrible either. I'd make the horizontal bar of the T a little wider though, it's almost nonexistent.

@dankbudz, Yeah the top S is a little too wide but it's not that noticeable. Same with the U being elevated a little bit. Gives it style though. The FUCK IHS part is pretty good too. I might have made the middle bar of the F a tad longer, and I'd probably swap the two diagonal bars of the K, but it's solid besides that. I can't give advice on characters because I can't draw them myself.

Fuck high school.

[Fury]

Let me get some crits yo!

[dankbudz]

i dunno about all those extensions, mainly that funky small bar on the S and F. but it would probably look alot better in pen and ink and if it was cleaner, it just looks all real shaky.
im also just not a fan of colored pencil. hope these are good crits

[Fury]

Which letter do you think is the F? It says GRADS. I don't have any markers, white out, or anything, so I just had to go with what I got haha.

[Ace.K]

I thought that A was an H. Keep it connected up top.

[Jiska Matos]

@Fury i use pencil 2, the only thing i got to say is take time to clean out the sketch, don´t rush the coloring, it takes more time but in the end makes all the diference

P.S. my blackbook covers, a project for my girl, and a sketch with a F**** up brian griffin

[Skope2]

Yea fury, get rid of the cuts in the letters, theyre making it hard to tell what letters youve actually used. The cuts and stuff at the top and bottom of your D make it look more like a B.
Jisk - your shit is fucking nuts! I'd start posting in the intermediate thread instead (unless you are already) you've got some serious skill bro.

Did this a minuite ago, havent done any pieces for a few weeks.. Reads DEBTR, the R sucks homer simpsons fat yellow cock, fuck. not finished yet. crits please :)
The other one reads SKOPE, i posted it up here ages ago but it didnt get any comments. Just wondering if its a style I should go back to, removing alot of the extensions ofcourse.

[Jiska Matos]

@Skope2 the first one i say the char is perfect, don't touch it, the letters just need to be spiced up a lil bit, but it's turning out cool, the second one im not sure it wil turn out great but when you'r finished with it show us....oh and thks for the crits :P

[Jiska Matos]

oh and here is something simple for you guys to crit.

[dankbudz]

Fur- oops, I miss typed, i meant the G haha.

[DamoOne]

@dave the pirate - you should make that E the same size as the rest of the letters,it's a dope letter but it doesn't go well with the other letters
@ewl - lose the effect and try to make your bars even
a simple sketch with some mistakes,crits please
http://i55.tinypic.com/4lsjyu.jpg

[Skope2]

Sick fill but if youre going to make the E and D connect like that then you need to move the Z and R closer to them. Or move the E and D away from each other a bit. Keep it up though man, your letter structure is decent.

[nah!]

T-side ideas

[nah!]

t side?

[Ace.K]

T-side ideas

Those two are dope but it seems like you're making pieces off of the same idea for a bomb. Like using the same lettering for everything. Switch it up, find a new style. Don't get me wrong though, that'd be a dope bomb if you could do it quickly or a sweet piece for one.

[Mippi]

random

[Skope2]

Its aesthetically pleasing, but you can't really see any letters after the W or M or whatever that is at the beginning. Thats probably what you were going for, but still. You cant read anything.
I'd say incorporate that type of thing into a simpler piece.

[Mippi]

perfect. It's actully not supposed to say Mipe. Its for a school project where im supposed to use the elements of design and influence from abtract expressionist artists to represent a song. figured i'd put my love of graff to use. thanks.

[Skope2]

In that case its very good and you should be proud of yourself!

[FACTone]

25209 dropshade? some ideas for colors ??

[ribcage]

i wouldnt do a drop shadow, id do a long straight shadow/3d to the right, and when i say long i mean at the very least 3/4 of an inch cause the open space you left to the right of it. as for colors that shits all up to you cause no one knows what colors u has.

[MrSpyrydus]

ok here is my first serious attemp in graffiti world:)) its made without copying or anything like that. and is the first complete drawing ever. i sketched some letters before but thats it. i would like to know what you dont like about it. what should i watch out in my next attempts, what should i work on stuff like that. thank you very much

[Skope2]

Drop all of the arrows, and the extensions, all of them. And the B is all fucked up on that top loop. Bring the letters closer together.
Other than that, its really good for a first piece. Just keep practising mate!

[dankbudz]

i wish i fixed up the Right part of the N and curved the top left of the S, character coulda used extra work too. whatever haha
got crits? specifics would be dope. whatevers good though
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q168/matthew1o/0609111710.jpg

Fucking around/exchange.
Crits? I think I got to busy

Edit: I know how shitty the white lines look. I don't have a darker shade of green/yellow

[haezr]

Would look a lot better, if it was black outline with a fill. The white lines kill it.

S is a bit on the boring side, and the bar widths are a bit off.

[dankbudz]

if that was black outline, and cleaner that wouldnt be too shabby. what did you use for the red and orange?

[OZON]

get rid of the tumor on the s makes it ugly

[Rasm]

Those S's are god awful dude. Just keep working at it.

[haezr]

Alright, but aside from the S.. how are the other letters in their entirety?

[Phat 2]

Alright, but aside from the S.. how are the other letters in their entirety?

uninteresting and unoriginal mostly... but it seems to me like these are some of your first sketches, so its nothing unusual that they be that way.
looks to me like you're actually "DRAWING" your letters whereas you should be WRITING them if you know what i mean, it's all in the lines, they should be as fluid and free moving as possible. You're using strict, planned out outlines, throws and handstyles are supposed to be free flowing as if you just spontaneously threw the lines up and they simply formed the letter however they formed it. let it come naturally, even if it sucked at first, but that's the key to getting steezy lines... they'll look bad at first, and youll get crits for em, but you'll start getting used to, and adapting to making better letter shapes on yor own... it all comes with habit and practice.
try doing what I said and show us what you get.
good luck

some sketch

[Skope2]

You've got made flavour EROS, just fix up the bottom right part of the E and its all good

[MrSpyrydus]

ok so here is my second attempt...what do you think?

[smack1one]

ok so here is my second attempt...what do you think?


make all your letters the same height and width

[DaFugg]

if that was black outline, and cleaner that wouldnt be too shabby. what did you use for the red and orange?
The White was only supposed to be a highlight not a full on line, then the pen blew out.I just used a sharpie paint marker (Red and yellow) for the middle. The fill isn't bitten but I saw something like it and wanted to try my own thing. I think got a few ideas from it.

[Jiska Matos]

ok so here is my second attempt...what do you think?

try something new, cus that's not working very wel, try doing something more round....
oh and an update on my pice of brian griffin

[dave the pirate]

^^ nice character

3rd attempt:confused: crits please

[Ace.K]

Are you trying to go for a calligraphic look to the lines?

[MrSpyrydus]

yes..kind of...i tought this would be easier

[Ace.K]

Ok, maybe try taking an actual calligraphy pen or marker, writing out the letters, then take note to how the widths vary and go from there. I like the colors though!

[MrSpyrydus]

i will try another one soon...i will post it as soon as i finish it and i will keep the colors

[Phat 2]

You've got made flavour EROS, just fix up the bottom right part of the E and its all good

[toopski]

not bad a bit different idd

i see this style now and then by an artist where i live who well kills it, so working on it and perfecting it can make this look really nice

for an exchange with DaFugg, i really gotta work more on my handys

[DaFugg]

i really like that second pic. The R could have been angled differently to match the K but still looks really nice, what do you use to color? And what paper?

[DaFugg]

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n193/Hatchetwarrior1246/100_3206.jpg
I think I know my flaws in this one but I'd like crits

[dankbudz]

I used prismas on the Mak and Makro piece, sharpies on the simps.
I dont really know what paper, the top one was in a sketch book, medium graid or whatever it says on front.
and the other one was in the back of my year book haha, its got a nice brownish look.

for your piece i would just loose the bars that continue upwards, and shorten the one on the K, it would look pretty good at that. Try not to hide the C behind the A, as no other letters are hidden as much.
Also work on placement for the Highlights, did you use a sharpie paint pen? the white sucks dick for those haha. looks just like it.
bars look goooood

[Living_Is_Suicide]

First post here. Crits anybody?

[Jiska Matos]

First post here. Crits anybody?

Alrightt ill try n get my stuff a little more cleaner. and i always have had a problem with the 3D but im attempting it haha i always need to improve my stuff. but thanks. thats the first time i ever drew an ocean and that flower type stuff. just trying to get a whole elaborate peice, Soon ill be posting some paint. cuz my parents are starting to let me practice on walls and sheets.

and my pieces alway curve up in this book fuk

[CyphOne]

Acek, that looked way better before you added forcefield/color/inner circuit thingys

[ian]

To me it looks like either Keau, or Keanr. It looks good but i would add in a separate n instead of using the u and a. also the top right of the K needs work and id separate the bottom leg of the K from the E

[Jiska Matos]

while i appreciate yr critsz's and thats why i came here, if I seperate the K and E and A and N and U, isnt it just a completely different flavorless style?
im trying to bring that funk.
just try to make te last 2 letters a little bir diferent

here is something i did today in the car, yeah i know i suck

[Phat 2]

ted logan, you can still do that while defining your letters better and making them mor legible. I'm gonna have to side wth ian and say that if I didnt know wht you write, I wouldn't have figured out what came after the A...

[FACTone]

previous one but colored, first 2 pages of new blackbook

[EWL24]

@Scope2 making the T really long made it look really bad and i had no idea that was a B until i saw that you posted this a couple pages back, before you colored it, and wrote that it said DEBTR, so i would suggest next time making the arm of the T shorter and making the back of your B straight

[ChadWarden]

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmn8bwpwfs1qhwdzco1_500.jpg
guys is this good? is anyone feeling this? it says keanu. thats what i write for graffiti

with the n-u connection, try something like you did on the k-e. if i didnt know better, i would say this says keanr. your k and e could stand to be bigger, match with the other letters, you know?

also the a dipping below the bottom line of the other letters is something i would fix, but, again, this is all just personal opinion. in the end, do what you feel.

[Rasm]

@Ace-K. Man, Ace has to be one of the most overplayed names in graffiti, and you're definitely not the best one writing it. Your letters still lack a lot of structure, so you would work on that before adding other things like those rectangular shaped bumps all over the place. Also work on your fills too.

@Keanu, man I really like that throwie although there are a few things that could use work. The top right of the K doesn't really go with the rest of the piece. If you added another element like that somewhere else it would look tight. It's also hard to read because of the way you made the N and the U, and the extension on the top right of the U makes it look like it could be a lowercase R, but I like it. The A seems slightly awkward but it's solid and I don't think it's a problem that it dips below the rest of the letters. Just keep tweaking thing here and there and find what you like. You're really close to having a super dope throw.

@Skope2, The R wouldn't be that fucked up if you fixed the hole on the inside of it and made it line up better with the bottom left leg. Also the cross bar on the T is obviously huge and could look decent but it just doesn't. It's messed up in some places (especially the bottom of it just to the left of the vertical bar of the T). Its varying width isn't quite working either. Other than that, it's pretty solid, although the B looks more like an 8.

@Jiska, I like your stuff a lot. Keep it up. In some of your sketches the S's are a bit weird, and in that last one I feel like the 3 horizontal bars on the A don't quite fit the rest of the piece. Besides that, your stuff is fire.

@Nuem, That's super simple and it's not bad. I'd like to see the final result. Maybe make the M a little narrower or something; it's almost twice as wide as the E.

@Exact, Not bad man, I like it. In some of your previous sketches the X seemed to be hidden by the E too much. I would fix that by making the E over lap the top bar of the X but not the bottom, or vice versa, rather than having it overlap both. That didn't happen in this one though. I'd say the A is my least favorite letter on that piece but hey it's not bad.

Here's something funky. Not my usual letters at all.

[Ace.K]

@Ace-K. Man, Ace has to be one of the most overplayed names in graffiti, and you're definitely not the best one writing it.

Oh well. I've been practicing a lot with it and just write Acek 99% of the time anyways. Until someone has a big problem with it I'll use it, I guess.

[OZON]

it may be used alot but if there are no big writers in your area or a giank writer that rights ace dont worry about switching

[dave the pirate]

ahah i never get crits all g tho

[FACTone]

@rasm tanks for the critz. now about your piece the crack effect are bad look at how some good cats do em and learn the Technic. i would also fat your letter a bit. the ''S'' is ur best letter

[Ace.K]

@Dave - That first one is tight. Second one, your bars are a little inconsistent and the extension on the K seems a bit unnecessary.

[Skope2]

@Skope2, The R wouldn't be that fucked up if you fixed the hole on the inside of it and made it line up better with the bottom left leg. Also the cross bar on the T is obviously huge and could look decent but it just doesn't. It's messed up in some places (especially the bottom of it just to the left of the vertical bar of the T).

@dave you dont get crits cause your shits aight:p. But for the black and white 1 if you thicken up your outline lines some of your extensions mght look better, and itll even out your bar widths

[Ace.K]

@Jiska stop posting in the toy section hahaha. Just kidding. you're making us all look bad!

[ribcage]

^speak for yourself and hop off his dick, his ish aint that great, hes in the right thread

[TastyMcNasty]

^^im thinkin he should still post here, because even though some of his fills are sick, some of his overall letters and pieces are lacking (i.e 1st 3rd, 4th and 5th and 7th flicks, diggin the second last one tho)
rasm- thats pre sick, but imo id lose the cracks, and make all hte bars connected (no seperate lines) to the rest of the letters
nark- the first ones pre good, but id take it easy with some of the extension, and clean up your fills too
skope- pre good, but im not liking the B or the extension coming of the bottom of the R
jhiz- define your I a bit more and itll be bangin
keanu- i like it alot, but it sorta looks like KEAU because of the N to U connection

looking for some crits of my own...

[Ace.K]

The R's on the first two are hella ugly man, sorry. And are the bottom one's just throwie ideas?

Ps. Nice choice of game. Fallout 3 was so addicting when I got it.

and haha ya thats still one of my favourite games of all time (second to oblivion), i still play it more than i play new vegas haha

EDIT:
everybody stop fighting and throw out some more crits

[SHUT]

very quick sketch. really rough and bad lines.25515

oh and shut its a little busy, fairly hard to read, but imo it looks good... and your 3D is a bit off in some places, and the piece couldve done without the blue forcefield

It says KASR, not shut. (if you thought that) But thanks for the tips! :D For some reason I felt it looked "alone" without a force field lol

@KASR, I feel like there's so much going on in that one that there's no real letter structure, just extensions galore.

i dont live in nj in fact i live in a whole differnt country

I know what you mean man. i still am really toy. thats my new throw btw. I tested it a few times down the road on some shit bridge and it came out pretty good. I feel like my sketches always look better painted. i'll get some flicks of it painted soon. i am pretty good with bars and simple things, but i just hate using them because they're easy. i try to progress as fast as possible too much. which is good (in the potential idea of it) but i do need to use basics more. thanks for the crits and battle. looking forward to more in the future.

ok guys here are my new throwies, tell em what you think, i need constructive criticism.
Thanks

[ampt]

on the green one which im feeling the most, the top is too wide compared to the rest of the letters

[Graham]

@ampt, are you talking about the top of the M? And if you are got any tips on how to fix it besides just making it more narrow. The only reason i ask is because if i do make the top more narrow it will look pinched/ squeezed, got any tips ?

[SHUT]

25544 simpler structure. sloppy letters though.

[DaFugg]

SHUT you need to go back and work on simple letters. your letters are way out of portion in a bad way. There's no real flow your bars are Eh. The extensions and stuff on them looks accidental and sloppy like you didn't think it out. the top of the R is HUGE and doesn't work. the S fill kinda screws with its flow and makes it look ugly the right leg of the A gets all skinny and weird for no reason and the k is just tiny at top, huge at bottem and none of it flows right. Start completely over, start simple and bar that shit carefully. You can progress from there but you got a long way to go

[SHUT]

25554 yeah, i honestly spent no time on the last one. I shouldn't have posted it.

[RERUN3]

crits? I'm well aware of its shittiness I just wanted some specific pointers from some real writers....25556

[dankbudz]

those last few pages made me laugh

self crits, I dont like the extension on the E's and the R needs some work.
If yall got any crits im down to hear what you think

[Skope2]

Dank your style looks alot like ribcages..
Finished piece from before, and a cholo!

[lawlcat]

Skope the only thing I can really see is that T in the first one isn't really working. Definitely stick to the second one.
Dank you have your simples down for sure, should try adding some flare.
Everyone else on this page, go back to simps.

Shit that got doodled up yesterday. That T is driving me fucking insane. Even worth doing a fill?

Are you using oil pastels to fill?

[dankbudz]

gotta go over it again with a fine liner and maybe the dark brown once more to make it a bit darker.

[pointman]

Messing around in my friends collage book.

Rib, from what ive heard jiska used to do yards until he got caught, he will understand when i say how crazy the security guards are over there...takes balls i only have respect for this guy

[ribcage]

^am I disrespecting him? Im just playin, sheesh. When did every1 on this site turn into a pussy? I guess I inadvertently insulted him or something when I was tellin that 1 kid to shut up, didnt mean nothin by it. But he got butthurt about it.

It should be a good battle, or i wouldnt have thrown the idea out there caue i aint gonna waste my time on a battle that i could easily win ya dig?

anyways your L's are kinda off, and that A is seriously hurtin. Diggin them cloudy letters at the bottom tho. youse gettin better

it's going to be a good battle, we used a little bit of trash talk but in the end no arm has been done...the trash talk only makes us do better stuff.

[TastyMcNasty]

bumping for crits... and sorry never got around to posting the battle flick, got krunk instead

[Rasm]

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e174/trevronious/IMG_20110614_075845.jpgI'd maybe make the T a bit narrower and then let the E overlap the horizontal bar of it. Could look a lot better that way. Also keep your letter height consistent. The tops of the letters line up well but the bottoms don't at all.

@Tasty, not bad man, but I'd probably make the circle in the R a tad bigger so it could connect to the vertical bar a little lower. That could help it look a little less awkward. Besides that, just try mixing it up a bit more between sketches. Your letters and extensions are almost the same in both of those which can keep you from improving, ya know?

[skinaone]

nah man def not feeling it
go back to simple letters cause the extencions are mad wack
im just being real

[dave the pirate]

Dont like the first one was pretty high on 420 what ever tho

Well a 24 hour purple kush diet could indeed have something to do with that :D
I like the 2nd more than the first because the letters are consistent and it has more flow. The N is slightly bigger than the rest of the letters but it's almost unnoticeable, and the 3D on the arrow off the K is much wider than the rest of the 3D. On the first one the letters kept getting wider and taller as you went, and I'm not really feeling the multiple arrow extensions off the N and the K but you don't like the piece either so fuck it. Keep it up, I can smell some good things in the near future from you.

Jiska, you went to art school didn't you? Or a tattoo artist maybe? Your stuff may not be the best but undoubtably some nice artwork there. Stoked to see what Ribcage throws out.
Toopski, I don't know if I like the uc in that/those pictures. Something about it makes it look like you made them fit the page. The e kinda doesn't fit either but all in all i still like it.

doin' up Sonic this weekend on a prod.

[ribcage]

.....mkay so you got te very generic sonic down, now take what ever book or intenret site or whatever way that showed you how to draw him, and throw it in the trash. Then take what youve learned from it and freestyle a sonic that doesnt look like a pitcure off the game cover ya feel me? Like same cleanliness and sonic perfectness, but freestlyed so he doin somethin instead of just standin there, like make him cracked out or something...

I'd say connect the D and B at the top instead of them overlapping themselves. I'm diggin the E and S.
