paste- thanks for the props all u need to look at is proportions and stuff. i can try to give u some pointers but pm me so we dont clutter the thread with talk.taking an art class or two helps a lot too
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
Mek try putting the letters in your handstyles closer together, and in regards to the pieces, work on making them flow. Try sketching them out as just one line like a handstlye and making the letters naturally fit together.

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.
Soumyd..i agree with Rob...the perspective on the bottom is bangingggg...dope man..not really feeling the top on too much...but the bottom is noooice ! MEK...its kinda hard to work out the letters coz of the colours and blurry pic...they look aight and kinda basic..maybe switch it up abit ?.. Skeelo..dope...coloruin gis awesome on the S ..the fade is dope...feeling the letters aswell.. Cert..lovin the fill.. APOC...letters are getting good faaaast !!!!...keep it up.. i shud have my scanner up soooooon..so heres another oldish one... View attachment 289754 i dont know if im even improving ..
woah you can pump these out fast. dont really know how to crit you, your better then me. i like it though. 4th piece, better then the last one? and any ideas for color? View attachment 289755
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) [Broken External Image]:http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/1460/1212199yq9.jpg old obey sketch so i aint picless

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.
