    Rask- looks nice, i just wouldnt connect the J to the dot of the I
    Rerun- work on smooth lines and either slightly overlap all the letters, like the O, or dont. i wouldnt untill you got them down, do it like the K and E.
    also that C is way to covered and the bar width is pretty fat.

    @Asocke, man you're nowhere near ready to move on from bars yet. Your bar width is very inconsistent (top part of the C vs. the top part of the E, for example). Your E is too wide too. Why is that top horizontal bar so long? Your O is round on the left side and not on the right. It's also overlapped by the S and it overlaps the C, but besides that none of your letters overlap, which kills the flow. Your drop shadow is off too in a lot of places and I'm really not feeling having it outlined in both orange and red. That handstyle isn't too good either.

    The E and R in USER need some work, the styles look different and the middle bar of the E is far too stubby. The E in the second one wouldve fit better. The U and S are on point though. Dont really like the little triangle cuts in the letters either, but thats personal preference.

    didn't have a ruler so the lines are off some. probably could have used a card or something but fuck it.

    @Toopski, I agree with Skope2's crits for the most part. I don't mind the triangular cuts, but I think that the U is too small compared to the S and is too hidden by the S too. The S overlaps it in two places; you should have made the U overlap it in one of those instead. I guess that's personal preference though. But keep it up, it's looking solid.

    @Aeso, man, don't start thinking about symmetry until you get your letters down because it will end up just hindering you. Keep doing simples and once you get some style/structure, then consider doing something symmetrical if you still want. And like you said, a bunch of the lines are off, especially down on the 3D.

    Exchange for SER, sorry it took forever, also looks like shit. top line above the E isn't effect. these shitty sharpie pens blow out a ton

    @FlatScank, I'm digging the tails, but I'd lose the extensions on the F, L and T of the sketch. Or change them at least; for some reason I'm just not feeling them, but then again I can't place my finger on why and I guess it's personal preference. Also I hate seeing that shit you did with the bottom of the A. It's so overplayed and lacks so much originality. Fuck. But for the most part it is a pretty solid sketch and I like your style.

    @DaFugg, I'm not loving it but if you keep working with that style, it will start looking good. It's also not your usual word. The E just seems awkward for some reason, and the top part of the S is the only real curved part of the whole thing... well I guess the right part of the R is curved too, but basically it lacks consistency. You made the top of the E and the R match, but the top of the S is completely different, which throws it off a bit.

    Thanks guys, The curved bars were cause that's something that I feel I need to work on. My next goal is consistency, which seems to get me every time.
