Eh, im not really a fan of how it came out. the 3d shouldnt be pink. it makes the red in the 3d hard to see. but hey, crits welcome
the O looks too round for the other letters. everything else is kinda squared off while the O is rounded. doesnt really look like it fits. other then that i like it. And i like the beastie boy reference as well.
@ example can't read it, only letters i see are the a's and the n's, but i actually like the red and pink in fact thats all i like, everything else is bad. looks like you might be forcin style that you aint got skill at yet too hard, instead of focusing on your lettering
so i started back in november, trying to see if im progressing along the right track, or just getting worse. i took some random flicks of my book, they're in order of when they were done a few throws: supposed to be a backwards two and an upside down L same deal with an upside J as well and some quick/shitty 3d attempts
Fresh from the box. I try to pay attention to letter structure, bars, and size alignment (keyboard letters, etc). I fill my book with pages of handys and basic block letter experimentation. I read books, mags, and pieces online regarding the history of writing every chance I get. Some of my first pieces ever, crit me hard brothers. swey First attempt at anything that looks like anything A couple handys and a basic block keyboard lettering Basic handys My main problems are with my S in general (making it look good and modifying it at all), and somewhat with my Y. I try basic mod experiments with my W, E, and Y by bending the bars in different directions but I can't figure out how to add a similar effect to the S. Any suggestions along with plenty of crits are welcomed openly.
@swey the left of the W in the first pic is too big and the E might be uneven then again it could be my eye sight
Yeah, I definitely need to work on evening my spacing, bar length, and alignment. Just clued in to bubble letters somehow / for some reason last night before I went to bed..
yo sway, don't worry about doing bubble letters just yet. You had the right idea on your first post, using bars, etc. For your S, it doesnt have to be curvy, knahmean? make the top bar and bottom bar even and then throw in the connecting diagonal piece. I'll draw somethin up for you. And you don't have to do your W's like that either, with them slanted outwards...they take up a lot of space when you do them like that. And work on that handstyle, don't force it though. You can't get good overnight.
argh just started relurking these forums, seen ive missed alot. weedeater - go back and focus on block letters for a bit, then you can start flipping letter upside down. swey - nice to see you immersing yourself. seem to be on the right track with your block letters, S' are hard, just keep practising ;]!
And yo Sway, there's a SWAE on here...but I guess it doesn't matter. Just woke up, hungover, so don't take these too seriously...just a rough idea, ya dig.

Sluj- first two letter was your best( looks like you're getting worse Sway- you're better than most people that come in here Crits
Thanks for the crits guys, I'll continue to post my stuff as I feel like it's getting better to get some opinions. Just to emphasize, though that my tag is Swey, not Sway (though pronounced the same as Sway)
