Yo wake, the second one is the only good one. Use the structure from that to start making other letters. Keep developing that, and you'll have a solid idea for structure in no time. I really recommend doing an alphabet to be well rounded, but a lot of people just focus on the letters in their name.

[Lado]

@Lado - if you did both of those, you have good structure but your extensions are not working well. That Lest piece would be great if the the bottom bars weren't barely hanging on and the Dotch one would be better if your D was a bit bigger to match the T and the extension on the H is breaking the flow. Keep sketching.

Word! Thanks a lot man, I wasn't too hot with the D on the dotch piece, but I really appreciate this.

bump for crits


^^slightly changed the E and A

[Phat 2]

y u mad tho?
the proportions in the first one are off
and you really took your revenge in the second one... kinda went overboard with the curves didn't you? lol, I mean it ruined allll the letters there, I'm seeing random e's and P's and g's and o's in places they shouldn't be

[SkateJunt]

what does it say? some more straightsssssss

I dig this one. Crit it.

Mues - That top one is boss.

Wonky - Forget your instincts and trying to make it look good, do straights. Shit like SkateJunt is doing.

Skate - You're getting better, you just need more practice is all. It looks like you have the eye for even bars, it's just you can't really outline it well with a marker (I do this in every piece). You'll get better. Keep it up.

[SkateJunt]

thanks man, i like how that extension on the s looks. and sharpies arent the best for outlining, they dont flow at all on paper, and theyr just horrible overall, but im not trying to make excuses, i just dont take that much time on drawing straights, im just trying to get some nice letters that i can go and paint

[SynOne]

The one I posted is actually on copy paper, outlined with a sharpie. I understand completely.

[SkateJunt]

yeah on copy its a lil nicer, but on lined and graph paper its nasty, and thats a sick colour of sharpie, whered you find it?\edit: nevermind haha i have that coulour it was just deep under alot of papers

[SynOne]

^ Just the outline is sharpie dude, the colors are prismas. I hate sharpies, but my blacks on my prismas are both more deceased than JFK.

[SkateJunt]

i need to grab myself some propper paint markers, maybe il buy some if i get any cash for christmas

thas wassup

[MN Nice]

Crits would be appreciated.

[Mori]

That's destine for a heaven spot mn. I'd say go grab some buckets and let's see it painted mate. but consider taking the white around it instead of having a black outline and black fill. I think that will give the letters a little more readability. Overall that's a solid piece imo

[MN Nice]

I was talking for the top piece but thanks anyways. I havent even tried a roller yet but I've always been into them.

[EWL24]

is there a reason im not getting any Crits??

MN - notice how ur MU are both leaning in the opposite direction of ur ESR, it would look better if they were all leaning in the same direction. But every thing else about it looks good, ur stuff is looking better every time

[Tempo718]

lil practice this morning.

@ewl - be patient you'll get ur crits, keep on bro

@MN - I like it, is this something ur testing out or been doin?

@germer - I see ya, nice letters

[MN Nice]

@Ewl - I tried doing that actually lol make it seem like the M and the R and pulling away from each other
