    Yeah, I wasn't feeling the bars that much either. I know the middle of the "W" is wonky and I think that my "I" should be thicker. Time to fix 'er up, thanks man.

    fry use only bars(rectangles) to make up this exact letter structure: FRY
    And don't use multiple strokes for one line even if its sloppy, practice for a steady hand.
    fill up pads of paper with that until your wrist dislocates

    Humr- I like it for the most part, I'm not too sure about the left leg of the "M", though.

    Messed up on the "B" and I think I put the "I" too far behind the "W".

    Really? Aha, I'm just using a fine tip Sharpie. I actually wanted to get a different, thicker marker. It's the only marker I have left until I cop some more.

    ^yo the trick to line cleanliness is thickening. You can use a microtip or a fine tip or even a regular pen and then after you draw a line, you draw the same line next to it then fill in the space between the two lines, all it is is making the line thicker. It helps in overall appearance, makes your lines look straight if you got a shaky hand, and makes it so you can fix some outlining errors if you make any

    yeahp, its pretty common sense. unless you can draw free hand foot long straight lines and perfect circles than line thickening is the way to do it. But if your gonna thicken ines you gotta make sure the thickness is consistent or else it will look bad

    you never have tried using a micro tip to outline? It takes more time, but it will prolly help you... It don't mean stop tryin to freehand ish without thickening tho cause if you can get that down it will help when you have stezy pens to use

    woah holy shit almost half a page with no pics... guess i have to cut into the bag of old gems... I dont think i posted this 1 before... but uh its one of those ones where i came back to it a couple days later after doin the first 2 letters...R dont really fit in it... and the H is all kinds of fucked, especially the bottom left O.o .....but uh crit if you please

    lopid2 - work on your letter structure, use bars to create the letters and stick with straight letters for now. Once you are good at that then you can start bending the bars.

    The first one looks like it has no structure at all.
    I'm not sure what the second one says and I'm not too fond of how the style was executed. Start simple.

    both are with the same kind of brush-esqe style (what I call it haha) but def not my most used way of drawing graff... I'll post some more when I draw newwer ones, thanks for the crits

    EDIT: the second one says NEIN which is No in german.. dunno if I had the [e] and [i] in the grammatically correct position tho... and yeah the [i] is effing horrible in that one
