Where do I need to improve?

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh whats it say?

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh whats it say?

RAPP, I take it breaking the traditional mode isnt very smart?

@RAPP it's bad go simpel keyboard

[Phat 2]

that's alright^ just use the regular upper case T without any modifications

[unknown--]

22789

fact use a regular T

22794

22795

[ribcage]

@Rapp, for you straying from the "traditional" way is too much . Start by closing your letters, they're all open (your lines arent touching). Space your letters out more, all of yours are layed on top of eachother. looks bad, and makes it unreadable.

@Fact, your letters dont look like they fit in the same style. Your F is all curved and then your A has a point, and then your C is curved. Your T is just bad. I suggest using the same kind of F just extenuate line corners ya digg? Hands are about your hand movement, handstyle is based upon how you like to move your Hand to make the letters look like good letters. thats why starting simple helps you in the long run. But starting simple for hands doesnt exactly mean keyboard letters. Usually the reason why people tell someone to do keyboard letters is because keyboard letters dont have extensions and weird curves to them... hope that helps

@sifen, shits weak, i think your other stuff was a little better. Idk why you put little loops in all your letters... looks wack. Doesnt hurt to expirement i guess... in all the extra white space on that paper id do that hand 50 more times tweaking it a bit, until there is literally no white left

[pointman]

Chill trackside area need some good sketches down first, some random tags on the pillars

Crits?

[weedeater]

nouv is the definition of simple and clean, that hand phat bumped is fire.

[pointman]

few marker tags
mone i like the tag just think the start of the m is confusing looks like it goes straight into a lowercase p then a h
The nouv tag is dope flaring that shit out with paint would look sick

[Anon937]

Glums- looks like your LU is a W, and that your S looks like a G
GWMS?
Lol

[pointman]

Yeah if I just define the u by adding a tail to the end it should break it up a straight L just kills it.And I dunno why I added that shitty line on the S thanks for pointing that out I never add that on my new ones.

[skinaone]

new handstyle
i was just writting randome shit ahhaha so dont worrie about what it says

[Phat 2]

thats sick, u like that pen yeah?

[skinaone]

i love that marker

[Anon937]

Crits?
And Skina, I love it.

[skinaone]

J looks familiar haha E needs work so does K try a bit more separated letters and dont cross your self put with your own letters

[Anon937]

Okay, so I am doing a new approach where I don't feel like I am biting your letters.
When you said familiar I checked through your pic and noticed the j, so I changed it up.
Crits again? lol

[skinaone]

beteerr and you can bit it i dont care but thats not the point and number 3 is a winner cause of the E ahahha i love those Es but work on the K adn the L sucks but beter then the others

[dankbudz]

need me some advice

[BRER]

@Skin that's dope yo. I'm really feelin it.
@Jekl try something other than a backwards J for your L. The way you're doing it is not very good. I'm not feeling any of those other than the J in 2, maybe the E in 3. Ks and Ls still need a lot of work.
@Saven 1,2, & 5 are basically the same thing. Maybe try a lowercase A w/ the lowercase E. The Ss don't seem right to me, maybe its the double curl. I dig the N in 3.
@ONELUV I like it, but does it say troz or trez?

I had a name change. I didn't like the double R so I wanted to do Bear, but s/he is already really good and has some insane burners. So I chose bare.
Any critz for my shitty handstyle?
23105

[skinaone]

bare they all kinda suck but number 2 is a winner just fix the A R and the e need a bit of work but not bad

[jdub]

skin- thats dope as hell man
jekl- your e and k are the weakest they both need alot of work
saven- i like numba 5 but try doin sumthin with the v
bare- numba 2 and 4 are the best imo

flick for talkin

[Raiders9406]

Damn, theres some great talent right off the bat in here, congrats guys.

As for me, I'm a little torn between 'Coke 45' seeing as theres already a coke out there, he's a toy too though. But still..
And the other is 'Ragi', a shortened version of 'Bragi', the Norse god of poetry, which reminds me of graffiti writing, also I like poetry, haha.

Got some pictures of both, be harsh please, this is my third day of writing.

[ribcage]

you like the raiders mang? .....those tags is weak, start by connecting your shit(lines)

[BRER]

^ This sounds harsh, but start over. Do simple letters. Try to make it look like this ---> RAGI. Don't try anything fancy until you understand how each of the letters work. I'd suggest looking at a shit ton of pictures and videos of tags online, or even walk around town and notice tags. Find ones that you like and try to see what it is you like about it. Once you can write your name simply and legibly then you should work on different styles of letters. But until then stick to simple things like the letters on you keyboard.

[Raiders9406]

you like the raiders mang? .....those tags is weak, start by connecting your shit(lines)

haha nah I don't.


And thanks brer, what do you mean by understanding how thy work? Why can't I just jump in and write what I feel looks cool? And I mean this from a scholarly standpoint, not being rude and telling you to fu.. off, lol.

[ribcage]

^ This sounds harsh, but start over.
you want me to baby him through walls of text in hopes he will become king?


haha nah I don't.

Yeah I wouldn't wnat you to baby me either, so thank you. WHat would you recommend I do to improve I've been writing 'keybord' style 'Ragi' and what not for a long while now.

^better but take those /// /// off work on the S i F and R e is pretty good

[dankbudz]

unknown,just wondering, but why did you outline your handstyle?

got crits? been trying to get my N's like the 2nd one consistenly. its a bitch
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q168/matthew1o/0507111734.jpg

[TastyMcNasty]

recent handies... what yall think?

[skinaone]

try simpler letters homie that shits too wild

[Armored Bulletz]

23150

on the bottom half of your s, dont make it so wide. dont dot your i at all. capitalize your F. on the bottom half of your e, make it curve in more. your r isn't that bad. instead of making the three quotations and an arrow, just make a quick circle over your f i guess.

[sir.to.you.]

[skinaone]

NICE that F sucks adn so does the R and i do the ame thing with my i ahhah but it all cool

[ribcage]

@sifen yo I think your F has improved a lot, keep doin it similar to the top 1. Id dash it as if its lower case tho, adds a little more visually, and can take up some space btween the F and I and eventually you can work in the dash as part of the I and see if that works

[sir.to.you.]

[ribcage]

your E would look better with out that vertical dash at the top, your O is seriuosly hurting on both, and your S is bad on both. Id also suggest doin a Straight line to cross your T on the first 1 in blue, the other 1 is fine.

[NouveauP]

TEOS- Lose those extensions. That T shouldn't go across the whole word. Lose the extensions. START SIMPLE!

how can i improve

[Shroomsh]

The only way to improve is to practice.. Try starting your letters small and progressivly make them gain in size.. Also slanting the peters back looks good \ like the way that lunr is slanting

[Skope2]

clean, simple, and says it all :)

[ian]

i personally dig that phat, the right triple quotation could be closer together like the left one but other than that it looks good IMO

[Raiders9406]

Okay so I'm back with some, what I hope to be, better tags.

I'm personally liking 1, 2, 11, 12. And I know most, if not all, of these reak of toy.

Let me know how you guys feel. Be harsh.

Any suggestions?

[MASE P_2s]

try putting the letters closer and making them flow

[Raiders9406]

try putting the letters closer and making them flow

Yeah after I posted this I wrote some more closer together and realized how much better it looks,lol. I think I tried to make it flow? The pointed letters, I made point in the same direction. Or am I missing the actual meaning of Flow?

[MASE P_2s]

lol everyone has their own meaning of flow just do you ill post a tag of your name later so you see what i mean....dnt bite it thou lol my hands arent the best

[Raiders9406]

haha no worries man, I'm a newbie, I couldn't diss on anyone if they deserved it. Plus that's not really me, haha. I'll post more after you later.

[MASE P_2s]

yea iknow its bad but it should help you a little http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c156/emienpimp/ffff.jpg

[Raiders9406]

No I wouldnt say its bad, but its not my style, well the style I want to do, but I do appreciate the feedback(: Like I said, it's not mine.

Here are some new ones.

[MASE P_2s]

lol i only posted so you know what i ment by flow but yea these new one looking nice

[Raiders9406]

Aw yeah I know, I was just givin' my petty two cents on it, lol. And thanks man, the one to the left of the scribbled out one, I tried to have a bar going through about the center of it, I'm still feelin' the sharper looking ones better, when they're close that is.

are you all city ?
if not take the halo off kinda learned that the hard way
but the 2 is alright thats it for my opinions

[skinaone]

Just thought of the tag NOES? Any good?

i like the first one alot except the E and take the lil addons off plus the arrow

[EWL24]

[skinaone]

try the letters a bit more seperated and simplet like keyboard letters and Gs look better lowercase IMO

[Phat 2]

are you all city ?
if not take the halo off kinda learned that the hard way
but the 2 is alright thats it for my opinions

come to think of it, I AM all city as a matter of fact
but what does a halo have to do with being all city?

[Nemo2]

I think hes getting confused with a crown and being king of the line. Obvouisly hasnt done his homework :)

[Nemo2]

Oh and by the way, this is me, crits are welcomed, which is best in your opinion? And the first letters a N in case you cant read it to well.

[nah!]

practice 5 because the n's on all the others are gay

[skinaone]

I think hes getting confused with a crown and being king of the line. Obvouisly hasnt done his homework :)

when you are KING! you put a crown
when your all city you put a halo go grab a book and buy a graff doc :)

@nemo the last on is okay but try simple

[Phat 2]

when you are KING! you put a crown

no you see now youre just repeating yourself book boy. I asked you what does a halo have anything to do with being all city
from what I know, they are associated with angels, giving out the idea that the writer is a god of pure skill in a sense. They're a sign of good -as opposed to evil- as the writer would just be out to bomb without any other bad intent or criminal activity.
They can also mean that the tag is placed in a heaven spot.
And finally, when someone puts up another writer's tag with a halo over it, then they mean that that writer is deceased or done writing; Halos are circles, circles represent eternity because they never end, therefore that writer will never be forgotten.

go ahead and tell me what does all city have to do with it

[Nemo2]

Sifer - I like the third one best, but you could add the dots youve put either side of the last one on it to add something to it.
And skinaone, Ive bought quite a few books and documentaries in my time, watch a few on youtube yourself before making yourself look like an uneducated fag.

[skinaone]

since i started wrtting in 09 they tought me that you dont put halos unless your all city ive read books docs and they allso repreent angels adn what you said you put crowns if your king idk why you put a halo of your all city but thats the way i was tought idk i thought it was the same for evey part of the world
@nemo SCREW YOU BITCH your time? youve been writing for like four months! ive watched soooo many documentars and talk to sooo many writes from u.s and venezuela so gtfo brah


23408

i like the other E better eveybody is using that E im using that E adn i hate it ahhah
take the extra dot of the i and teh botom line on the F is too long

[H1P30N3R]

everyone add ons are exactly that add ons it isnt 88 anymore when I first started writing I was under that impression also they all had meanings past tense ...halo was also a heaven spot like somewhere high where you could fall and die from. But truthfully I think actual meanings of the add ons are extinct ... about 90 percent of us here have watched documentaries and talked to writers lol no beef jus sayin

[Phat 2]

and if you feel like it, I had made some research from the forum and from other sources a while ago and put together this little article about the subject:
https://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?sk=group_31841374751&view=doc&id=10150180632854752

now enough with the ornaments stuff... and let's see some steezy handstyles people

where's wings and nouveauP at yo?

[lawlcat]

Sifer it's getting better. Don't get too far into adds until your structure and flow can match it. Also, play around with that R, you have a ton of options. Possibly the F as well.

Anyways, first post here since 2008. Still toyin'. Sorry for the shit quality, cell phone pics.

@ nah
nah man thats a pretty nice S but 1 2 or 3 (which tag)

[lawlcat]

The first one. The K in the second doesn't go with any of the letters.

[lawlcat]

Tweaked the R a bit more. Not sure how I feel about the quote marks. Semi-happy overall though.

[lawlcat]

nah the second one is probably the best. The N starts getting too deformed and looks like a weird V in the rest of them, I'd also try out a new U. Get the style of the N and make the rest of the letters flow with it. Give the EM some steez too.

[NouveauP]

where's wings and nouveauP at yo?

Is it a halo or a tittle? ;)

old school gorf sticker i seen while stomping about R.i.P

look at your keyboard

copy those letters

[lawlcat]

@ pointman: yeah monster is what i've been trying out. the way it works for me is if i can get a handstyle i like ill keep the name. why do you ask?
and writing is all about style... without it its just... writing.

@ cynical: write the letters out hundreds of times to develop them more. look at other tags and distinguish what you like about it, then try and replicate it without biting.

[nah!]

thats nice adn nahh take a look at the best tags like mayc cope ect there all close together

no i mean th n and the i are 2 flat lines stuck together.

I'm gonna have to ask you what is it you want so that you dont complain... because getting rid of you for good is starting to become the only solution left in my sight.

[dankbudz]

change that H and O and i cant tell what that shit on the left is supposed to be ( not the I, like by it)

[Isho]

What would you suggest for the O and the H, the thing before the I is just a om logo, a logo that represents what I believe in and what my lafe is based upon.

[Marcus McMuffin Price]

for the o,maybe do a diamond shape,and the H,sorta distort it and make it skinny. like mine.

old tagg when i use to be even toyer then what i am crit ? i think ima go back to dis style but better ahha
p.s the halo is cause i was all city ( when i thought the halo ment allcity) and now all my throws and alot of my tags are buffed

[weedeater]

its not bad, but its like each individual letter has its own style, and they are too close together

[Phat 2]

CLEANUP!
you dicks need to post more flicks and talk less

i quite like that ish skina. not many crits on my side. just practice it until it has more and more flow. try it with a broad ass chisel tip. i donno if you'd like it or if it'd turn out good, but it's just my personal preference, the fatter the phatter imo hehe
maybe just forget about that bar at the end of the S, it forms an M at the bottom there with the back bar of the K

[Cynical]

Clearly I need to work on this a lot

first E is on fire R in the first is ok
the Uor l i need more flow with the other letters k kn use some work
get it kn "can"ahaha:cool:

[..romero..]

what does "reuk" mean?

second E is the best one. maybe make the U more recognizable as what it is, unless its an L..then scrap that bitch. maybe make the R and K more uniform. the R's leg is more curvy while the K is more jagged or sharp. pick one.

[Cynical]

Fuck, supposed to be Relik, Put the I too close to the L.

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/4558/scan0010i.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/26/scan0010i.jpg/)

Tweaked the L a bit so it's actually an L now,

[..romero..]

RELIK. the one your crossed out on the new one has the most potential. maybe make the top loop (or the head) of the R smaller, sort of like the K. thats my suggestion, but i can see that being a decent tag at some point.

come on relik more style man bend dem letter nikka! aahaha

[NouveauP]

NUEM - The main problem is that it's sloppy. Keep your letters the same space, height, and width. Consistency is key for you right now. And this downward lean your have may be on purpose, but keep your hands on a straight line for now. Maybe work with graph paper to help yourself with that.

Pure - Lose those stars. And don't be afraid to squish the letters together a bit.

Relik - The same problems, relik. Your consistency is off. Some letters curve, some point, some tall, some short. Just correct these things and you should be golden.

Did these on a napkin.

Appreciate it monster!

For your hand, I like it. The M is a little too much, I believe, but the hand is pretty solid. You might want to tone down that underline too. But keep this up. I'm feelin it.

Monster work on the M and don't make the n bigger. That's lookin pretty dope so far though.

and here's some stuff I'm contemplating on using instead of it.. they're just try outs and testers and experimenting with different shit. I'd like to know what do you guys think, should I stick to my current hand or switch to one of these? if so, which one would have the most potential?

i like the second page top left and bottom right the best. If i had to pick a fav it would be that bottom right one

[Cynical]

@ Fade: The letters don't look like they go together at all,

@ phat2 Definitely the one on the bottom right . That '2' is fucking ill.

Better? Worse? And don't mind the dots, I wrote out 8 pages of this trying to get my letters to stay the same size and had to mark one off to upload.

One liner and simple, idk what to work on

[NouveauP]

EROS- lose that curly tail under your hand. And clean up your shapes a little bit.

SICK- Try not to underline your hand with an extension of a letter. It's hard to make it look decent. And your hand lacks flow. Keep at it. You have a long way to go, but try to emulate some other writers and go from there.

RELIK - It looks the same as about everything you've posted..

Phat - Your hands in each of the four corners have the most potential. I actually like the one in the top left the most.

Bump for crits, I'm really having trouble finding ways to make it simpler/better...

[OZON]

[haezr]

Top left corner, work on the S and the L and make the E smaller(or at least the same size as the other letters), and maybe tighten it up a bit, and it would look better.

[OZON]

any better?25112

[haezr]

Haha, yeah as far as the tightness and letter size it's a bit better.
Idk, I'm such a toy myself still... your best bet is to wait for someone who's not as much of a toy to try and help you...
hopefully they'll crit my shit at the same time.

[Phat 2]

my crit is to use a big marker, and take a better photo - without zoom
and let your hand flow and move freely... you're trying WAY too hard.
just free your hand movements and try it then... no matter how fucked up and shit it might look, it'll still look better than something awefully forced.
at least you'd have gotten the hand movement part down in doing tags - because it is a DAMN important part

[Isho]

Pointers, critics, tips?

The E's and D are dope, but the S needs work on that top hook maybe? And also add more to the bubble of the R.

I plan on deleting this comment (for banter), but I just wanted to leave it up for everyone to giggle at a little bit.


Handstyles are the basis for your lettering style. I'll argue with you to the death that they are the most important.

[ribcage]

Tags won't even matter if your throwies are sick. You get much more respect from them.

lmao do you get respect for your throwie, or are you just talking out your ass? If you can do a throw and then have a wack ass handstyle then your probably just a biter. It doesnt matter whether the chicken or the egg came first, but you gotta have good throws and handstlyes if you want any "respect"

[Ace.K]

I'm still toy as fuck, guys. I understand handstyles are the foundation to writing, but if his tags are decent so far (which they look like) then I'd say don't worry about it as much. Sorry if I offended anyone, I guess.

Edit: and my throwies so far are terrible, I'm still working on it.

[haezr]

Lol, aside from that... I agree that you need a good handy... any crits?

[ribcage]

If you think your still "toy as fuck" and you understand that hands are the foundation of someones style, then whyd you say what ya said? No one is offended. I personally just think you need to take a step back and worry about your own shit, instead of giving your input on others shit... this is obviously a toys forum, toys crittin other toys, I aint tryin to say you cant tell people what you think about their work, but tellin some1 w/ a bad hand and a bad throw that if their throw is good their hand dont matter is retarded, so slow down and think before you speak...or type

@haezr no crits except take all the extra shit off like the kick on the R's right leg and the cick on the O and the kick on the top of the S...

Yeah dude, the way I thought of saying it was different than the way I typed it. I meant to say that worrying about getting his handstyle to a more technical caliber wouldn't necessarily be a waste of time, but nothing to fuss over. Its a timely process. I spent over a week writing my name to get to my mediocre tag that I'm satisfied with. Plus, there's nothing wrong with keeping it simple.

Eros - my last piece of advice would be if you want to keep trying, use simple your simple letters and then flare one to give it some style. Like keep ERO simple and make that S fucking nuts. Or the E. Whatever you like.
