    keep the letters the same size, and theres no need to connect all of your letters to one another. Also, the top of the S' could use some work, as well as the C overall. E's are solid though. And finally, next time you do a piece try adding some simple 3D rather than the thick outline. Not bad overall, keep it simple

    6i9o - Space your letters out, make them all the same width and height like T H I S , thats the starting point, once you have bars widths and lengths right then you can go from there. Theres no point in trying to do funky shit just now because its just gonna look toy if you aint got letters.
    Zik - Kore is ok, work on the K tho.
    Bombgirl - Nothing wrong with adding those lines just dont do too many, your letters are pretty good keep it up.
    Kaze - The Fuck You is dope, like pretty much all of these keep it up.

    Pls ignore the E on this first piece, fucked it while doing outline. Crits on other letters and 2nd piece pls.

    thanks willis, i appreciate it dude.
    i like your second C but i think the top part of your first C doesnt really work. i like the A and D but try to bave the A abit smaller in width. i think ur first E turned out alright, maybe could have been a little bit closer in to your D to kill some negative space. you should add a drop shadow or some 3d and some color. keep at it man

    Just keep playing with it, make sure to use bars, just do a few Cs till you find one you like best, personally I dont think your C is too bad but just keep working on it.

    You should take a look at the new to graffiti thread. Newbies on here need to realise its gonna be years before your shit even begins to look like the wildstyle shit you see on the experienced page. This shits about having good letters not how crazy it looks, look at shit from Ichabod for example, great writer but mostly simple letters, this is the kinda thing you should be working on just now and put all the funky shit out your head.

    I know im not good but since deciding to just work on my letters real hard I find I feel much more proud of my work and effort when I see myself developing than I did when I did a full colour piece with real shit letters.

    Its all laid out for us toys on the new to graff thread so read it and read it again.

    I've already read it front to back almost twice now. But I get what you're saying. Simple shit with bars for now

    Its a pain in the ass but in a while youll see your letters developing and youll feel much better about your work than you have about any other stuff. Youll be able to see the problems in your own work and won't need crits as much and thus youll develop a lot quicker.
