    pez, you gotta start somewhere, persistance is the key, im not that great compared to the likes of other but i havent even been writing for a whole year yet, just takes a bit of hard work.. i like the distortion on the second piece, it would look good if you added a point of perspective in the center of the black piece for some 3d, like what ive done in my piece, keep it up

    I know the C is pretty off and the A is bad too.

    Tried to do something with it but I think overall this is at least decent at being the same throughout.
    Attachment 21966
    BTW My first ones I was kinda trying to do something like this. Obviously I failed horribly.
    like 1000X better mang! all you gotta do is even out the height of the letters (laying down horizontal lines prior to drawing helps) and fix up your bar thickness nd youll be ready to go

    Thank god lol. I think I'm beginning to understand why my first set was so bad and how to improve.

    Shroomsh - Yea I know what you mean, all but one of the first couple were from about a year ago. I think I just tried to hard without understanding how it all works. For these I was mostly just working on bars and general structure but thanks for the 3D idea I might try it on a later one.

    Tasty - Thanks for the crits. Couple questions tho, when you say even out the height do you just mean the top one? Cause the 2nd one I purposely squeezed the middle. And when you say to fix the thickness do you mean like to make it the same for each letter, just bent or longer/shorter, or what?

    Thanks for everyone who's helping me too. I know I'm annoying asking and posting a lot but I really need the help lol
    Yes I know I'm a toy and everyone else is better then me. Quit pointing it out.

    ya for height im meant the letters need to start and end close to the same, if you noticed that second one the first letter ends lower than the last letter. and as for the thickness, i mean make the bars within each letter (more or less) the same

    Ian - It looks pretty good, maybe separate the O and I a little bit more to make it flow better and the bottom of the E just looks off to me

    critty critty bang bang
    i know my bars are off in spots, im still tryin to get the hang of this line thickening business, and the picture doesnt do it proper justice, looks better in real life, but im happy with the way it turned out


    GETH work on keepin those bars consistent, also try to straighten out your letters more, theyre all goin off at weird angles, just doesnt look good IMO

    yup yup, and usually when i decide to put hash marks/lines/blocks of color in my 3d i make it a diiferent shade of the 3d color and I hardly ever use outline color for it unless its black and white... that 1 is more personal preference though

    ian- 1st pic-drop some of the extensions, and dont bother connecting the letters (yet), other than that ts looking pre clean.
    2nd pic-too many extension and bends in the letters... and imo it wouldve looked better with the I being seperate from the connection between the M and N... and the D is pre wack, sorry man
    geth- your letters are leaning too far over, and shorten the top extension on the E and make the bottom extension on the G go farther.
    dent- make your letter size more equal... your D and T need work, and your drop shadow is pre off.. but, your E and N are lookin pre good

    new stuff, crits always appreciated

    any crits on dis?...

    ian - I notice an improvement in all your stuff, any painting recently?
    tasty - why do we never see alot of color from you? otherwise bars have good consistent width.
    dent - that is a good look, but is there any reason the n and t are smaller than the first 2 letters?
    ewl - i'd say ur gettin a little better bit by bit but on this peice your t got too close to the h.
