    bill- clearly you have drawing skills, because that charac is dope as fuck!!!!!! but your letters need to be simpler for now. so look at what dankbudz is doing and start from there, the gradually work your way up friend. and once again that character is sooooooooo sick

    Ok thanks for the advice guys. If I'm not busy tomorrow I'll draw up some new shit that puts what you guys said into use. As for the character I can't take all the credit as I didn't invent him, I just drew him, but thanks a lot :)

    Nice. Only thing is the a should be a point to a flat top, instead of rounded. Otherwise, This is good. I think I'm going to do this tomorrow. I seriously need to start at basics again. I'll follow the path to good graff with you friend:D

    Simple practice. I realized that the hole in the R should have been different once I uploaded it and I'm too tired to fix it. Last flick for the night. Night everyone.

    Thanks. I'm decent with characters, thats why I want to make my letter structure better. S is a little thin and the top of the R is a little big.

    Shut, the left side of your A is very fucked up as well. The bottom right part of the K, the bottom of the S are bad. That extensions goes nowhere... The top of your R is huge. Go simpler dude. You still really lack structure.

    @Charm, the lowercase H doesn't help the flow at all. The Bars of the A should probably slant in towards each other instead of just being vertical; it would look less blocky and help you develop your style better. The right side of the R is bad where you have that small line separating the top and bottom halves. The 3D is mostly good besides the top of the M where it's slightly off, but it seems like you understand the concept of it. I'd personally narrow your bars a bit and try to get away from the big block letters.

    Just keep doing simples and you'll eventually develop your own style and flare. Don't start getting fancy before you have your letters down. You'll just end up going overboard, and it might look cool to a toy or a non-writer, but experienced writers will immediately recognize the lack of letter structure, flow, and consistency. That's why it's so important to start simple and go on the track that dankbudz is on. Once you understand the letters better, you'll know what looks good and what is off.

    ahah i didnt want it to be legible, its not for bombing, its a sketch for an abstract piece, and the people who dont write are only into unreadable art so its the best way to get decent pay

    Yeah tell me about it. Sometimes when I'm drawing something for someone I'm tempted to make it a weak piece that "looks cool" because people who don't write never understand what makes graffiti good. I liked it though; I could make out almost all of the letters, although I'm not sure if I'm 100% right or not with my guess haha. Either way it's good art. Props.

    cheers bro, i also think that if you cant do simples then you shouldnt attempt pieces that 'looks cool'. because thats what all the new kids do, and it just looks disgusting.

    where you from Rasm, a bloke who lives down my area writes rasm or rasmo.
