    cert... stay away from complex fills for now, and just work on flowy letters.

    wut up toy box!! man im messed up, i took a pink and green, i know the green guy cool dude does his job nothing more but i never met the pink one and hes is a beast . . . . .

    davo i would follow what echo is doing = bubbles and simples and straight letters all day, in school, on the bus, when your eating stc . . .

    cert - not bad, letters have similar structure/style which is good . .maybe take out the crimp on the left part of the C and try some other lil way to spice that area up . . .i hate when people on here say "yo dont write blah blah blah cuz blah blah be killin it in my parts and hed smoked you" but i do speak up when people put ones behind there stuff . . . cert is a mo' fuckin legend writer in DC and all over, he put up more than anyone else in dc and dc is a huge city to conquer with tons of schooled trained writers . . . . i also gave his brother his name "DEK" which he still writes and is in fly id now (that luck bastard, nah dek is a real chill playboy type cat) . .cert and crew almost did a miller light commercial where he and some guys would just be finishing painting and crack some beers but they pulled the plug when they thought it would give off teh wrong image . . . google "cert grafitti washington dc"

    ps. certs also a big guy physically

    sume your battle entry against mewt was truly banging . . . my S and B dont go together to well, the S is tall and the B is long . . . .

    mek - your styles alot like mine and sumes, the problem the 3 of us have is that are letters dont interact or really cut into each other enough leaving each letter on its own island to hold its own . . . . i would run a white gel pen all along the inside of the outline on the top dark sketch and i think the letters will really pop . . . i think i used a white gelp pen alil bit on my sketch last page and you can see how much it really helps your sketch when doing a dark fill and dark outline . . . ill edit this with a pic hopefully

    stay up

    The last one is excellent, the perspective is good and it looks like that 50's horror style. The K in duke stinks though. I dig it very much.

    am k - youre improving, ur better than where you were a month or 2 ago when i stepped out . . . . those new markers you got a few months ago def help . . i would suggest finding a couple of writers whose style is like yours but more developed and skilled and learning (not biting) from them . . . really breakdown their stuff and seeing what works and figuring out why it works . . . slowly and naturally youll start to be influenced by them and your stuff will take another step up . . and buy some damn cans dammit!!! youre not 18 yet so it aint a felony count against you (or however they carry it in the UK)

    12 to 14 - leanr letter structure and painting 101 from older brother or BS toy box
    14 to 16 - bomb the fuck out of your city, town, marina whatever
    16 to 18 - start doing 15 min plus street burners and billboards and what not
    18 to death - slowly stop bombing and end up going painting only when your pissed faced drunk or down to chill spots and legal yards, canvasses become your unfortunate friend . . . .

    roolete - just becasue someone might be better than you dont me you cant crit, some of the best advice i ever got was from people in here like to try and add more curve/fluidity and they were right, really opened up my letters to alot more possibilities . . . im not feeling th elil curly things you got coming off teh tops of some of teh bars, maybe try making thoise bigger as full on addons (addon bar is roughly same size as bars in letter structure)

    try to keep your letters the same thickness and size. and look at your 3d before you ink it, take a step back and see if it makes sense, cuz yours is a little off.the 3d should be the same thickness throughout the whole piece. also, i would save your markers for when you get better,just work on structure and flow. use bars to make letters.if you havent already, check out the new to graff thread.
