mn nice- dont flare the bars so much and bring those letters together. and that U is retarded.
Ewal- thats gettin there. work on the E, its pretty weird. but if you fattened teh W a lil and lost the extension and made the horizontal bar on the L not a bubble it would look pretty dope.
Knoxin- practice those M and N's you got, and it could turn to something good. but you gotta start over on that E.

bored on an airplane... aha, hit me with usefull crits

30662 What do you guys think?

[sadgeh]

crits?

Peter - like it more than the one before, lines can much cleaner and the handies are bad, but overall it looks good. Nice colours is it only paint or also markers or something

[KehmONE]

Shitty pic.
Bottom page bump.

[PETER]

indeed the hadies are super bad... I was getting super lazy. I can paint over it and do it again. It's spray paint on canvas and the details are paint marker. My other one was brush with some pasty ass acrylic. I have a few others I am working on I'll post up soon. Thanks. As for you piece I like the direction you're going. I would drop the arrow on the bottom of the T and the way this flows I might make the o, r, e in a cursive fashion. The direction of the E looks promising to me but the execution needs some work keep working on it. It creates a big gap where the BS is. This is a close up of a really bad attempt to conveigh what I had in mind. I should have tilted the O and R to give it a little more cursive feel among otherthings. Keep it up. 30680

[PETER]

@Beast> not a bad start. You're missing 3d on the top of the S, in the hole of the A, and the top of the K. Your 3d seems to change directions a bit too. Put a dot somewhere and use a ruler if you have to. Take your time with it and attention to detail. Keep it up.

heres the sketch and 2 other pieces i did yesterday 307203072130722

[PETER]

It's not meant to be extremely legible. It says Invok btw. which I understand. I'll say it, and it goes for Smack1 too, steer clear of any of the graffiti creator type letters. For one they suck ass to begin with and look like total shit if not done well. As with all graffiti webforums there is a "new to" page. Read it. it's gospel. I know it seems lame to write square ass letters, but for real you don't build a house from the roof down. Build your foundation and make it strong. Each repetition is a brick. This goes for handstyle, throws, the whole nine. Good luck and fill books!

smack: the squared letters are a far better show. the 3d looks pretty good and proportions are good. If I do a piece like this I'll cheat and use a straight edge to make sure my lines are completly straight and my 3d is perfect. I suggest going lighter with your pencil. To the point it's almost hard to see. It erases easily and can play with structure and shape easily and even over the same letter with out ruining it and then just darken the parts you like. (and it wont leave huge lines in the sheets below like in the bottom left of your page)

truth: not bad I like the C and E. Personally I would have bent the loop of the p down. The A needs work too. Practice the hell out of 3d. Not trying to be a dick, but the 3d on your E is completely fucked. http://www.artgraphica.net/free-art-lessons/wetcanvas/basic-perspective-for-artists/basic-perspective-for-artists.htm http://www.khulsey.com/perspective-drawing-basics.html

[xflare]

holla my sketch will ya?

[PETER]

heres the sketch and 2 other pieces i did yesterday 30720
this one is my favorite of them. best display of structure and shape. I would stick with these letter shapes, drop the arrows and chips, and work on stretching/elongating/fattening them to see what works for you. Don't just slap arrows on there willy nilly. Learn to make them flow with your letters, but learn to make your letters flow first.

[PETER]

it was the first one....

cool lol the sketch i was just experimenting but im glad you like them so by stretching and elongating them you mean without the add ons like arrows but stretch the bars and maybe a few connections?

[smack1one]

30726

crits? anything to fix before color?

[xflare]

REZUME OR DIE:

1. get a camera or fix it or what ever
2. what markers were you using?
3. the first 2 R and E letters are ok the rest are wack because you did the letters going across the page like that also next time draw guidelines
4. draw guidelines then do simple block letters this help you get better at letter structure also BARS
5. love the characters and the dragon lol

SMACK 1:

bin it its wack

then draw block letters use a ruler if it helps but you need letter structure also another tip work on your lines

[sema]

the letters...there chopy and have alot of dead space dont be afraid to tuck ur letters behind the last like the top bar of ur e behind the s try thicker bars^^^^, i personaly am done postin pieces cause noone even acknoledges em

[aaesoo]

first colour piece i've done in while.

30728

[xflare]

cool good simple start trying to bend your bars a bit more because the e and s look a bit crooked and the top of the o is a bit wack but everythings great apart from that

[HëRbN]

and dont write esoe or esoes, and start simpler. its apparent you are working off some one elses style or letters. And you needa work on keeping your bars the same width, and the extensions on the s's are to big in my opinion

[sema]

aeso= work your letters together its not a crime to overlap there just floatin around
humr- the r in the yellow one looks more like an a and the r in the light purple can be an e without the ex mark keep workin on it
give crits to get crits

[KehmONE]

Haha, it's funny because I went completely freestyle and used zero inspiration for the letters.

okay well I haven't been sketching .. so to fill up for all the jabbering I do on all the threads I'll post some doodles I did today in class. First is abstract, sortof, you can make out the letters though somewhat. Second is not that great, was a quick one, I know the A is retarded, need to work on that. As for crits, I'd like suggestions as to how to fix the A in the second one. Oh and I know the middle extension on the M in the second one is retarded as well. Basically shitty pix for talkin.

@ ewl nice flick .. thats good work .. i think the A is the only problem .. like lizard sayed ..
to me it looks like u might have been tryin to fill empty space. next time just just make it the same as the rest the tops of the letters .
jut my opinion ..
good work

cuore . i like them sketchs but maby drop extetions on last one

[Boar 1]

@Mues i like that your doing straights, thats definetly the best way to improve, but i wouldnt use such sketchy lines.... And after you can rock a perfect simple start using cutbacks on your letters
@Cuore I cant even tell what the first one sais, its a total mess... The second one is a bit better, but the third letter is way to sloppy... Also dont use those little floating bits, they look really toy (imo)

if it's snag, the a looks a lot like an s.
it looks ok, but the N's structure doesnt match the rest of the the piece and looks kinda wierd, also the G flares weird around the middle part too

Keep the S and G, completely scrap the rest.

SOL - i think it would look a lot better without those things under all the letters

crits please

thanks, im workin on another now, I fucked up the outline on the H on that 1 up there

[Jiska Matos]

31415 i was bored at work today so i started sketching, it turned up a big pice of shit!

MASE- cool flow, letters all nice, you should only worke the N a little more

[Shit Outta Luck]

I like that Jiska, but I see why you might not like it. Nice choice of colors though! And Ewal your probably right I was fuckin around haha but I LOVE that W and that A but the E and L just dont match the flow of the W and A. Work on that and it'll be fresh!

[TastyMcNasty]

...seems like I fuck up a letter everytime
http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g388/ribcage22/0904111656.jpg

thats dope, only thing im not digging is the E

[ribcage]

yeah, Im not diggin that E either, like I said, I seem to fuck up a letter every time... Just tryin out variations and what not before I paint the same thing again... cheers tho

@jiska yo seems like you toned down the add ons to just a few extensions, startin to look a lot better! The S should be structured more as an S, right now the top 2 bars are scrunched, and it looks weird, would look waaay better with a more "regular" styled S... only other thing is the L is burried under your A, which poses as a problem visually. The highlights really make that peice tho, I dig em

@Ewal ytour on the right track with the W and A, but the E needs some major rethinking, and the L lacks style compared to the rest. But the L isnt bad, whats bad is the bottom half of the E, its quite unproportionate to the rest...

...thats all for now, hope it may help

[MASE P_2s]

rib do you paint? no disrespect im just wondering

[ribcage]

never painted a day in my life, never spray painted, never done a canvas, never done water colors, never painted on bitches, never even fuckin finger painted

Seen the smoke coming out the O on a sketch in the euro thread thought it was koool so yeah.. haha

crits?

[Mischuf]

Pen smudged, too much negative space in 'M', i don't normally use vanishing point 3d and i never use a ruler for it (i'm not gonna practice with a crutch). No idea of colours yet...
31521

[sema]

sol-haha i woulda posted that dude either way i forgot about it on my photo bucket n when i seen it i had to use it i used to impliment it to many sketchs on here years back, i dig the orange n green one in the first sketch tho
mischuf-that looks like somethin my kid woulda made with legos go to block letters like the simplest a letter can be like my kids lego sculptures you need a foundation to build from
spek- you got the right idea just try to use consistant bars to make your letters like in the p how the bar inside the loop doesnt line up with the bar under it(in the second one scrap most of the first) your s needs alot of work too try not to wory about givin the letters motion yet. i could go on further but i gotta get up early so ill leave it at that

[LiveFreeDieFree]

31524

Shits mad weak I know, but I forreal need some crits. It's a hall pass from school, btw. Needed some extra credit....Also, the camera quality is shitty. My bad..

[Mischuf]

i did dude. Started with blocks and bars and developed along a theme... bent blocks with wedge serifs...

31525

Although now that i look, i think i made that "I" up off the top of my head...

[MN Nice]

Nah man, when we say foundation and structure, think of that letter in real life trying to stand up on its own like a bridge. That shit would collapse in a second. Get what I'm sayin?

Para un chica. Crit if you want. I'll finish it sometime this week.

Um... No... Not really... Cud you explain a bit more.

Stick to simples. I'll let you learn what I'm sayin in time on your own. I know its boring and blah blah blah, but gaining a style from simps = success in more advanced pieces.

[Mischuf]

so... spend more time doing this...
31527

[MN Nice]

You got it, Sherlock. But you can add style to that. Add some extensions, serifs, whatever. Play around with your letters and find what you are good at.

[sema]

ya see how that h still looks like shyt thats y you need more time on simples

[Mischuf]

Fair enuf. Thanks for your patience.

@sema: that took me 5 secs tops... If i want to draw perfect i spend longer. Oh and i would usually sketch, that H is just one continuous line then i add the 3d.

Bump

[Mischuf]

personally i reckon the left hand bar of the y could be moved down a little to fill some more space between it and the k. It looks like a smaller letter in comparison to the others, doesn't take up enuf space. But since we've just established i don't know shit i can safely be ignored obviously.

[Shit Outta Luck]

Just because you don't know something doesn't mean you don't know shit. Learning simples and how to develop from them is hard. Especially because it can get boring. Work on whatever you like dude, all we're saying is that simples really help develop your style the more you do them. It just happens haha. And sema I think I love you. And everything I posted was completely freestyles except that orange and green piece thing lol

[PETER]

NICE: I suggest lining up the two longer ends of the E as well. Keep it rockin'

[vigostar]

MN Nice- but, my suggestion would be to really study fonts and their structures. The people who create the various different fonts are graffitti artists in their own right. Also, to help guide you try drawing in some guide lines so that the letters have size and angle constraints.. Once you've established how to create an eye pleasing design can you start to break the rules. Hope the advice helps.

[TBS]

sadgeh, i think you have the right idea but aren't pulling it off quite right. take it back a couple steps and do some simpler stuff. i don't mean straight letters just dont try and add too much flair. there, critted

I was about to say the same thing. I did like the coffee & coffee cup though.

-Pit not really sure what to say its more street art i guess or euro style, seems mostly like characters and stuff its kool and alll but it probably isnt everyones cup of tea mate.

What do you guys think?? been doing my own ting for the past few weeks got some painted ones to put up later
31536

[Pitlord]

What is Euro Style? Again, Im new to this :D

Today I started a new piece which is made out of 2 canvases. Started by drawing the character from my blackbook, then the graffiti and after that the second character. Hope to get some crit :-)
Because it's an entire piece, i posted it in here and not into the character thread.

It's supposed to be a step by step piece, cause i like to see it 'grow' (yeah, that's what she said haha) but you get the point. So the piece is not finished yet.

Time used so far: 4 hours

[SENAoner]

31607 What do u guys think ive doing graff for about 8 months i need help with color choice and outline

[sema]

thor- u dont need to worry about colors work on your letters for awhile still
atom- thats not a piece more like a mix between straits n throws i dunno where to start just work on structure pieces will come

[SENAoner]

hey sema i know i still need to work on my letters but i still need to do colors for my youtube viewers and youtube battles. i think colors can really bring out your piece but if you have insane letters then you dont need great colors. I just dont really know a good color scheme and i would like to finish this and upload it to youtube. i know im starting to work on my letters alot more

[Mischuf]

so...this...
31610

Looks a bit wonky cos i can't get page to lay flat...

and looking at it like this the m is still wonky... i need to do it from right to left i think, i dont fuck up that bit if i remember to do that.

[sema]

3148731488 bump this rite quick, n thor just do basic fills i guess for now blace outline with a light color fill like baby blue fill dark blue 3d, or if you wanna mix colors study color charts

[ribcage]

first one looks terrible, complete eye sore. Second one looks like your starting to get the hang of that 3d but there are still parts that look totally wrong, different sized 3d on parts that are right next to eachother... 3d like this is hard to get down tho. Pic is too dull/blurry and small for me to tell if Im correct on the parts that look bad, so ima leave it at that. I posted an abstract and a piece I did with this kinda 3d a while back... idk if you saw it but it may be a good reference


...found it.

I just dont really know a good color scheme and i would like to finish this and upload it to youtube. i know im starting to work on my letters alot more Your letters are ok. Plenty of room for improvement. I highly suggest working on your 3d. It's all over the place, wobbly, missing parts, etc. I'm not trying to be hard on you. This is a little advanced, but a great resource. http://www.khulsey.com/perspective-drawing-basics.html As far as colors. I am a big fan of shades of pink, purple, blue, and green together. color pencils alow for good blending if you take your time. Stay up.

Rib: looks good man. I'd like to see it a little larger.

[sema]

ya i been tryin to figure it out but imo the 3d dont need to b the same size it just makes it look blockie, like if you were to do a 3d piece with clay would you make everything the same width or would you stretch, shrink, blowout porportions? thanks for the comment tho i know wat your sayin

[PETER]

From what I've seen you're off to a great start. Work hard on some basic 3 point perspective stuff. that should help a lot. I love the pic in your sig by the way. What an amazing guy!

...you can stretch it I guess, but if its not "blockie" it makes it look like shit. All the 3d doesnt need to be the same length/width or nothin based on the perspective your drawing it. But with the shapes your using if its not squared off/blockie with the shapes that are squared off and blockie than it looks like yours does.

You see the one I did before? cause now I really look, a lot of the shapes are similar between ours.

[sema]

i know what your sayin i didnt see yours before i just started comin on this site a month or so ago when i moved to fl n lost my life i used to be on here years ago, i just looked at a bunch of 3d on google n my graff world book for basic shapes shades ect. but its dope more deffinition between light and dark values would make it pop more but it gets tricky keepin same lighting perspective throughout

spek- just change your name im not goin out writin cope574948 learn your history and use a name not known around the world, k thanks

Is having a "tag" thats already taken still an issue? Back in the day people used to wanna fight for tags but, I always wanted to battle. Its bullshit in my opinion... I been around graff for the better part of 20 years and have seen dumb stuff happen over it. I say if you wanna own your tag better know how to rock it, to keep it.

Spek- the fact of the matter is, if you wanna make your mark, be original and creative. I jumped around with tags for a long time when I was a kid but, finally settled on Game and use Dribs as my "back-up" or alias for when Im bored of doing Game/ gamer/ games/ gameski pieces...

[vems]

not bad, the h is not in proportion wit the rest at all

[Mischuf]

31704

The b scared the hell out of me when it suddenly appeared... I'd do it different next time. more like 2 little blocks sitting on each other... think i'm getting the hang of the vanishing point on the fly.

[aaesoo]

@seyr. is that in ur black book? lol for a second i thought it was on a wall.and like the other dude said the s is out of place. bring that top portion of it over to the right some more and it should look better.
@emace some of the letters look a little off (extension on the T in stakes) but over all i like it . but im biased i love de la soul
@deso do simpler letters for your throw and get rid of the negativ space in the e
@haste the letters are disproportional , the H is too tall the t's bars aren't even i'd just suggest stick to keyboard letters and ditch extensions and shit and stop trying to bend your bars
@mischuf. theres too many letters in that for me to comment on all of them, but those s's make me wanna hurl.

was fucking ripped in class the other day and did. this
http://i51.tinypic.com/1z4l6ja.jpg

[LIZARD]

damn it ur the 2nd person to say seyr, i was goin for sevr but bubble v's are a bitch...its on the work bench at my shop so i just layer down some tape and cut around the throw lol

[aaesoo]

maybe round it off at the bottom so it doesn't look like another bar. thats why i thought it was a y.

and i dont know why your doing your shit that way, but i'd suggest just go cop a blackbook from michaels/walmart and use that. or atleast looseleaf or osmething.

i have a book i was just at work and it was wicked slow so i had to compromise to make the time go by hahaha

Got bored at work and tried to mess with letter structure somewhat. First ones really bad but I figured I throw it in too.
Crits?

[.Cuore]

it's not that the first one is bad, its that all of them are; work on your bar width before you try to get adventurous. you want to get used to doing simples with consistent bars so you can get a mastery of letters and you dont waste your time doing some wack shit that doesn't work.

take your own advice, Idk how you can get on him telling him his shit is "bad" when your shit is just as bad...

@pez your shit is bad
@tasty your letters always look the sames... That last one is kinda cool, not too on point, that A has got potential tho

talk... yeah that bar on the H is fucked up,yeah some 3d is off, whatev

^sick bro! i like where that style is going!
and what do you think about your exchange? thats my favourite out of that post, in all honesty

[ribcage]

I like the A, I like the B on the bombing science hand. Theres a ton of negative space. I suggest doubling the bar width on all your letters, it will make your letters look chunkier, and reduce negative space. You'll find it harder to do those extensions you always do, but it may make you think of new ones

[EWL24]

Tasty - i agree with rib your stuff always looks the same. ur good enough to try some new things
Rib - those are so sick, the only thing i would change is that the R kinda looks like a B

A and C looks dope

lol its an ill B, and an ill R.

[TastyMcNasty]

thats all I get? Somebody isnt getting anymore crits...

alright i'll give some crits hahah. your E and A are dope as hell, the top of the C seems awkward to me idk, and that H is kinda hurting i suggest making the extensions all pop off to one direction, rather than that one you have going towards the A.
all i got for now.

I think you should've made the middle of it come up more and changed the bottom a bit. And MN Nice I realize the L is fucked up haha, sometimes I can get it right, sometimes. I'm working on it dude, just gotta keep moving forward. Thanks though.

Just some shit I did in math

props on the second to last one and the first one. i'll give it to you, you're pretty good, but you don't need to talk shit and act like king of the forum 24/7 regardless.

[ribcage]

I aint on here lookin for your approval, and I dont need/want your props. What you quoted at the top of this page was the truth, I wasnt trying to blatantly talk shit to you to just talk shit you. I said it because you went out of your way to talk shit to someone else without posting a pic when your just as bad. I dont want or think im "king of forum" if you think that, then thats your problem, and you shouldnt be trippin at all.

Wheres all the hostility coming from? Wasnt I nice to you? Didnt I try to help you? Lol its funny that you tried to insult my hands before trying to insult me for being a post whore, you should know better.

crits...again...plz.....:F

[MN Nice]

Diggin your stuff Soar. You're really getting a good handle on your style. Unlike me haha

Sol, keep working on your letters. And theres too much of a kink in the bottom bar of your L, looks like it'd be for a W.

crits please

bumpin this

[TastyMcNasty]

really diggin the M and the E on that one actually, the U and S are hurting tho. i suggest not to lean the U so much to the side and even out the bar widths on the S a bit more and the whole thing needs a bit more flow. i also think that 3D woulda looked better than drop shadow , but hey thats just my opinion brah. keep it up

Genome is lookin fresh

SelfCrits: Shadow is off, letters are uneven, Bars are uneven.
Bump. Do I need to go more simple.
@genome Looks fresh.

[pez 1794]

Mues - Maybe try making the other top of the U taller and the bottom of the S is too big.
Sore - R and the E look pretty good, O is thinner, and the S just looks bad.

you can't go simpler, but your shadows ARE off.. and the superman diamond HAS to go dude... or girl.. whatever you are. might have to call you "it"

[Shit Outta Luck]

My bad tasty haha. Didnt see that shit sorry, and I mean I pretty much only do simples dude. You don't even know. I do 1 piece or other drawing compared to like 50 simples all different. BUT IM WORKING ON IT. Did this in math lol it looks funny

[TastyMcNasty]

now thats on point (more or less). some of the bar widths are a little weird, but not bad all in all. from there you can start adding minor extensions and connections, and slowly evolve that style/.

[Mischuf]

i actually posted my last post (like 3 pages back, soopakalafrajilistik...) cos i was wondering about lining the letters up (and for the practice... DUH!). I didn't line em up much cos i reckon it makes the shadow look like an uninteresting block, especially in something with lots of letters that have a solid bottom. Having the letters climb over each other a bit means i can have some corners and stuff showing up in the shadow. Also i just dont flow ruler even and never have. So i was looking for oppinions on whether slightly uneven letters for a more interesting shadow is a bad idea, and whether i should work on getting my flow ruler straight or just go with it since it IS my real flow.

For the record, everything before that post was during a slight weed dry spell and i swear i forgot what the fuck i was trying to do. After i got back on the sticky i remembered that i normally rock a line like superkalafrajilistik in about 2-3 mins add about 2 more for shadow. Simply speaking, i wasn't flowing from letter to letter, i was trying to emulate a stencil. I don't normally write anything like that. I'm uber embarressed. Not that i think anything i've done since then is any better, just more ME.

Not that i condone drug use...

[nickelbagger]

this is my first little throwup sketch i guess, just a random word i wrote, whats good, whats bad

[PETER]

Did this in math lol it looks funny
31938 because the shadow from the half way point down is off. The bottom protion of the s and left side of the bottom of the O go the wrong direction. I agree with tasty, start experimenting a bit, but when it comes to 3d and shadows you gotta be careful it can make a simple look good or just make it look bent in odd directions etc. Attention to detail is key. Work it out.

nickle: I suck at throws bad so you may not wanna listen too close.... but maybe try something like this. 32035 red is suggested lines, pink I think should be dropped all together and blue are suggested connection points. guys you wanna crit my crits as I suck at throws?

[pointman]

sketch ting

[nickelbagger]

thanks for the tips pete, yeah after i was done and looked at the day after i thought the arrows shouldnt be there either, making it too complicated, AND they are both kinda facing the same direction without even lines
