^^^have your really been writing for 5 years??? cause if so how can you say that biting helps improve your style?!? i remember when i first started i would bite some peoples shit that i liked...it got me no where. when i had to do my own peice without biting someone elses work it came out like shit. i eventually wound up going back and working on simples and block eltters and slowly progressing my style...shit i been writing for over a year and i'm still trying to progress my style from block letters. i really hope your just lying about writing for 5 years because that is rediculous. and for anyone whos just starting out and read that line...dont listen to it. if you really wanna get good do simples and blocks. TRUST ME...

EDIT* as for Ow3k and Revolt...just keep working on your shit man. the only way to ever get good at anything is repitition. i kno i sound like a broken record and so does everyone else on this site...but really the only way to get better is practice. if i were you what i would do is work on your style and letter structure for at least a year before you go out and start spraying anything. if you go out at the level you are currently at all you are waiting to do is get bad mouthed and crossed out.

wow that was a lotta typing lol.

I kinda have to disagree a tiny, tiny bit.

Copying other peoples styles has helped me quite a bit (more so with handys though), people learn in different ways, some learn buy seeing, some buy doing etc. I'm one of those people who learns by doing.

I still think starting from blocks and simples is the way to go, no doubt, but when you start to progress a bit it's good to look at some simple-ish pieces (or handys, throws, whatever) and see what they've done with their letters and use that in your own stuff but give it your own personal twist. I think this has the downside of one making a style which is pretty much a modification/personilisation of someone elses style. But I still think seeing what other people do and trying it is a good idea.

The biggest tip I think I could give to new writers (not that I've been writing for long but it has helped me a lot) is to look at everything in detail. Don't just look at a peice and think to yourself 'that's a nice piece', pull it apart. What makes it a nice peice? What has the writer done with the letters? How do the letters interact? Etc etc etc. Pull it apart to the last molecule of paint.

Dont get depressed guys, no need to. If your stuck in a rut, grab a dry erase board, and some chisel tip markers (ALOT OF THEM) and practice your tag for as long as you need. Therefore you wont waste paper. And youll get a good buzz going lol.

If you have troubles with a certain letter or you aint feeling your tag, change it up. I cant do K's very good. So I changed my tag recently. I wasnt liking my form on k's.

If your stuck ask a moderator. Ask a vet for help. They dont mind all that much.
(C3ZR may comment with a reply such as: Well here I hope it helps, OH....SNAP&#33

And kinda make you feel stupid but its cool. C3ZR helps me even when its beef time.

Cause I get pissed and say shit like "Curb stomp."

If your stuck ask for help. Bombing science is a mentor.

ive always wanted to ask this,but are you the same clockwork from the 12oz dc forums?

**revolt92** · 11-26-2006 03:09 PM

I kinda have to agree with d g cos biting helped me develop my own style although my style isnt exactly that good but still.

**EasyMac** · 11-26-2006 03:17 PM

Honestly in my opinion if your a toy working on nuthin but your bbook it's not wrong to go out to a REMOTE spot (not seen by the public) and getting the craving to paint outta your system,
if you disagree with me it's probobly because your an asshole so ...whatever
