Throwies

[Phillip McDougall]

You want us to ignore the lines, the fill, and the hand?

That looks like some good quality wood, there.

He just ment to crit the letters.not the lines or fills

[ASHiS]

Dusk- I would make the D more bubbly.. al your other letters have no points.

[Phillip McDougall]

We have given crits on the letters already?

[NouveauP]

Lines and fills make up the letters...

DUSK- It looks like you just need to work on your hand altogether. you're very shaky. Don't try to take time on those lines, make your hand flow through the entire line (I hope that makes sense) Smoothing out your letters will make your throwup 100% better. However, the U is the only letter that seems structured at all. Work on STRUCTURE!

Neam- Your E and A aren't too bad. It's a decent start. That E kind of reminds me of SEEN's E (not calling it a bite, it's a simple e), so definitely keep working with that and make it your own. Your N and M are kinda nasty though. I'd just go a different direction with them altogether.

[paniik]

a little better? and thanks for all the crits, theyre helping a bit.

[paniik]

what exacctly do you mean by structure?

[IbuprofenTablets]

Structure, in other words, how something is shaped, or built.
I noticed that you tend to go over your lines for some reason.
Don't do that. Also, I wouldn't recommend using color for a long while. Pencil pencil pencil.

Oh yeah, NEVER EVERRR sketch your throws.
Draw them out, instead.

Drawing your throws out may seem hard if you're used to sketching throws, but just keep at it. Eventually, you'll get used to drawing throws out.
The more you do it, the quicker you get.

Good advice, Ibu.

And to go into structure a little bit more. Letters need to have balance. And the way you structure a letter is how you ensure balance. Balance and structure is an essential part of design, whether it's graffiti or not. The most common way I've heard to help build structure (and I've tried this, it does help) is to copy the letters right off of your keyboard. I'd recommend doing this with handstyles first. Then once you get comfortable with that, start doing block letters. And then slowly start to bend, morph, extend your bars.

thanks, that's what i was looking for..

Doing this, one may say "ppffft, I know how to do these already", the reality is, when one enters the graff game, they probably can't do keyboard letters. Practice practice practice.

^^^This was mostly for Straight letters/Pieces, but these rules can also relate to structure when looking at throws.

For example, try looking at some (good) throws, and try to notice how the letters within the throw correlate to their basic letter form.

Same thing goes with hands(tags).

Graff, and Art in general is all about structure.

trying new stuff
should i work on this? or change everything again

Exactly. Thanks for clarifying that for me. Want to exchange?

NEAM- you're going backwards, yeah. You need to start basic! You N is looking like it's block structure, but then the rest of your letters look like bubbles. And the case-switching is harder to pull off in my opinion. I'd really suggest looking through some of Ibu's throws for good basic structure. He's definitely more skilled in throws than me. Bates, Bio, Cope, and Seen also immediately come to mind for having solid, simple throws (in many cases, at least). So don't be afraid to emulate (even the old masters emulated), but don't BITE!

[T-Kanzz]

Dusk- your going in the right direction, keep it basic and practice, sometimes a mistake can turn into a fresh style

Neam- get basic, style will come easier to you if you know your letters,

this dude is such a fucking loser

the guy he's talking about was asking for criticism
he wasnt asking PHILLIP MCDOUGALL to talk about bullshit
i hate kids with all this ego and yet NEVER post their OWN SHIT
hahaha sorry for the rant but bitches like that make me angry


neam - that looks dope. you should continue with how you feel. its not always best to just blindly follow what other people tell you. try to find the motion in you man

[Get Rekt!]

needs some work. but its a start.
