    Using even bars, I already got that the top bar of the S is way too big and the O looks more like a D. Anything else?

    the O looks too round for the other letters. everything else is kinda squared off while the O is rounded. doesnt really look like it fits. other then that i like it. And i like the beastie boy reference as well.

    @ example can't read it, only letters i see are the a's and the n's, but i actually like the red and pink in fact thats all i like, everything else is bad. looks like you might be forcin style that you aint got skill at yet too hard, instead of focusing on your lettering

    so i started back in november, trying to see if im progressing along the right track, or just getting worse. i took some random flicks of my book, they're in order of when they were done

    a few throws:


    supposed to be a backwards two and an upside down L

    same deal with an upside J as well



    and some quick/shitty 3d attempts

    Fresh from the box. I try to pay attention to letter structure, bars, and size alignment (keyboard letters, etc). I fill my book with pages of handys and basic block letter experimentation. I read books, mags, and pieces online regarding the history of writing every chance I get. Some of my first pieces ever, crit me hard brothers.

    My main problems are with my S in general (making it look good and modifying it at all), and somewhat with my Y. I try basic mod experiments with my W, E, and Y by bending the bars in different directions but I can't figure out how to add a similar effect to the S. Any suggestions along with plenty of crits are welcomed openly.

    @swey the left of the W in the first pic is too big and the E might be uneven then again it could be my eye sight

    Yeah, I definitely need to work on evening my spacing, bar length, and alignment. Just clued in to bubble letters somehow / for some reason last night before I went to bed..

    the bubble letters in the 2nd pic look pretty even. the S may be too small.
