knox - yah, definately develop your letters first, before intense 3-D. will be ill tho jest - looks good, maybe less cracks tho lol went thickerrr.. crits?
rusk - i agree, if you just made them straight ending its would be sweet. nice simple style!! mr.daze - i don'd like the bars you decided to make you letters out of. They look weird and pregnant. And no one likes abortions. takeout- nice bomb....wrong forum maybeeh?
Jest keep working on simple thats what you need now mostly work on proportions because you leak them.take for example you T in the first one. Neaz keep working some mistakes with proportions. Bome...i didnt wanted to see the body graff shit... anways work basic on simple just simple.

Art and graffiti aren't related really much, you don't need any special talent to be decent at graffiti. I have seen people who go to artschool and can draw allkinds of crazy regular stuff, but suck really bad at graffiti, because they don't know shit about letters.. also, I have seen people that do crazy-ass burners and have mastered the letterforms, but their other stuff looks quite shitty. Everybody sucks at the beginning, bomb go to new to graff thread and stick to simples for a very long time, belive me, without mastering the simples you'll allways suck hard.. 408bomber - I think making copys of other peoples characters is retarded, especially when they are quite sloppy. Create your own characters, start with simple round shapes (round head, do some round cheeks, big cartoonish nose, round eyes, round body, round arms etc. start out with simple forms) .. and if you really want to learn how to create some more complicated shit than a blunt holding cartoonish gangsta you should learn anatomy..
When I said artistic background It means I was not taught the basic fundamentals of drawing. So therefore even if I had natural talent it would still take some time to gain the eye to see what to do. But appreciate the constructive feedback.
