    wow...everyones saying "develop your own style"..
    FUCKING BULLSHIT...no one here has their "own style"
    that why legends are who they are..they did it first...
    bubbles? blockbusters? PHASE2's...

    style means shit...
    make it look good, but dont TRY and be original...or you'll fail...miserably...
    nowadays..and actually since graf begin with the phili boys...
    NEATNESS is the big thing...
    if u have sucky drippy wikkid high pressure paint, make ur piece or thowie HUGE so the drips look mad small and almost unrecognizable...

    then again, if u mean own style as a way of writin they feel comfortable with, then youre right...
    but originality is nothing...
    when u think hard about it...obvious conformity=originality

    true i guess...its always good to start of with block letters..and bubbles...
    and expand the skill of the bubbles, then eventually, you add effects to ur letters....such as the drip effect (no not accidental shitty dripps) shadows, the pop out effect...etc..

    start simple, move on. if anything. just draw how u think graff looks good if u get me...
    draw it how u feel it is good. people can critisise.
    but graff is all about expression and being who you want to be without limits. and bombing. getting up
    letting people know ur feelings. through panit on a wall.....

    in my opinion you shold start by trying to copy other peoples stuff (obviously dont try to copy some crazy stuff). start with a black marker and just bust out tags. thats all i did for a good 6 months, just tearing threw pages. then take a look at some simple pieces and throwies and try to copy them exactly. after a couple months try to do your own bomb or straight letter piece (with pencil) adding your own style to it. I am almost 3 years into graff and it can take a long long time if you sit around and just try to be accepted by the culture (buying the fresh gear, learnin the talk) but if you take a critical approach and really study the shit and breakdown the elements, every month trying to advance you'lll get there.

    World of Warcraft (commonly abbreviated as WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). World of Warcraft takes place in a 3D-representation of the Warcraft universe that players can interact with through their characters. The game features three continents on the world of Azeroth and a separate planet called Outland. In this game world, players use their characters to explore locations, defeat creatures and complete quests, among other such activities.

    The first expansion set of the game, The Burning Crusade, was released on January 16, 2007. The second expansion set, Wrath of the Lich King, was released on November 13, 2008.Wrath of the Lich King builds upon the innovations that The Burning Crusade brought to World of Warcraft’s dungeon and raid game. In addition to heroic 5-person dungeons, all raids now come in both 10-person and 25-person varieties, each offering independent challenges and rewards. Northrend’s rich history serves as the backdrop for encounters that are more intense, more fun, and more epic than anything that’s come before.

    World of Warcraft's first hero class, the Death Knight will be accessible to players after having a character reach level 55. Once unlocked, the Death Knight will then complete a series of quests that will explain their defection and background. The Death Knight will start at level 55.

    The Death Knight is a plate-wearing DPS/tank class (albeit one that is unable to use a shield) that uses a brand new resource system based primarily on cooldowns. Rather than the existing Mana/Rage/Energy mechanics, the Death Knight will be able to carve Runes into his/her weapon outside of combat, and then use those runes to power abilities (the recharge rate is at 10 seconds, for now).

    flow.
    try not to think of letters individually for your tag your just going to end up with a load of mad looking letters next to eachother tht dont flow.

    aim for a simpler tag that flows togeter, your own style will come thru with it eventualy.
