    drak the second B in bomb should be consistent. the first one is really good. maybee shrink the s a little but its looks really nice and crisp. go more complex with something new. its lookin hot.
    and ur drak piece is nice too . the K got a litttle big. but it looks reallly good. o think ur stuff looks better in pencil though.

    yeah anez. it has potential but try to lose allot of the points on ur bars. and keep them consistent thickness. Draks bomb squad piece is a really good example of simple bar structure.

    Dawsek- i really dig the second one. its crisp and consistent. one thing is the middle of the W doesnt follow the same curve as the rest of the letter.the first ones tight too but the bottom of the E and the thin extension on the bottom of the A bug me out.

    AMK- i liked the first one allot better. it has allot of potential. the reason why the end of this one isnt as good is where the A and K meet. it gets way too lumpy and confusing. and it just looks like a big chunk. maybee simplify it. and i would like it too if the right leg of the K wasnt seperated by that line. but thats just preference. i think.

    In the bin.
    Drak- your moving along to quickly relax with all the random add ons on your drak piece, go back to the basic letters do them over and over different angles size width than if your letters are down you can throw in a little more slowly but surely like the tortise my nigg.
    stinky- new 2 Graff thread.
    tac- are you on the pipe?
    Chulo- simpler don't connect your leters make them the same size.
    south pole- nice simple letters not really feeling the r i dont liek the skinny bar at the bottom. switch it up try different letters.
    thesilentvandal- I like your older ish much better, but these are pen freestyles so ill give you the benefit of the doubt. i really don't know how to crit euro style too well i know it's suppose to be busy but some of it is just unnecessary in my oppinion lost the circles figure something else to do instead of those.
    hade p- don't do such jagged letters look at Drakula's last piece see how he formed his letters with bars do that.
    Drak again- nice simples but the s doesn't fit with the rest.

    Amk- The first a looks nice but maybe extend the bottom extension on the left side farther out more and than curve it back in towards the A. the M is on point. With the K make the bottom right leg go down more. this is where your piece went bad. Your a is to dull make it uhhhmmmm make the top of the A like the first A but the opposite way. Your H is lookin like A lose the connection at top and play around with it some more use one of your older h's.

    The extensions ruin it, in my opinion. Decent letters but there is something that just doesn't seem right.

    amk, if the last letter is a h, then maybe don't join the top parts together?
    drak , the simple looks real nice but the fuse part on the bomb doesn't look right.
    anez, maybe don't make then so sharp?
    dawsek, i'm really feelin the first one but not the squiggles on the w and the a

    rose and pck and i know the p looks like an e

    That's actually pretty good...looks better without the "forced" looking extensions.

    Edit: If I have time, I'll try and do an "AMKAH" sketch to try and help you a bit.

    Edit again: Actually, if you take the "M" and make it like the last "A" and then make the first "A" like the "H" it would look more symmetrical and better.

    Edit, third time's the charm!: [Broken External Image]:http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/9720/dsc0069gj9.jpg

    A 30 second interpretation of what I mean (minus the "K")...

    hope it helps.

    ya i was just trying to make some letter structure. they dont really go together at all.

    demo the letters are looking real good. i did like ur other M better tho. it was dope. the blending is sick though. maybe through some definition and shading onto ur 3D. it would look sick.

    My fucking G's are wack so i left it outta this one.

    Crits?

    Demo- I think it'd look better without the 3 skinny extentions on the tops of the e and m. Also theres a little too much goin on with the D. It looks dope otherwise, those are just the things im not crazy about.

    Scare- They're good for blocks, just lower the horizontal bar on the A, it looks kinda awkward that high. Id also lose the curl on the right side of that bar. Maybe make to bottoms of the letters fatter than the top, or expiriment some way with them.

    Mek- That style and overall piece is raw, but the k is kinda funky. It looks like it has two bottom legs, even though one is just an extention.

    Amkah- I love where your style is going, the only thing ugly is the way the M is sort of a tumor on the A. Your "H" is my favorite letter of them all in that piece.

    Exhale- I like the way you're rockin that west coast lookin' style. Cali style has always been my favorite but I've never been able to rock it.

    mek : looks good, but hate to break it to yu ,but theres a jerzy king, in the vs crew,he rite mek,very good see them all around jerzy and philly, but overall its aight.

    c a g: Nice style the c could use some work, and thicken the middle bar in the a

    garbage down tha way: Yur rite yur g is wacked, work on your a

    demo: raw piece, maybe work on your d a lil ? but its good

    Frat. - those are lookin nice

    scare - i think you could benifit from widening your bars a little. also as mentioned already the cross bar to your A isn't flowing well with the rest of the letters. along with the random thin connection bar you have going on in your S.

    Demo - I really want to like it. i mean the colors are awesome. the draftsmenship is superb. The only letter that is really Working for me is the E. it's the most simple letter with only 2 small extensions on it and minal overlapping it looks really nice. but i feel like the way you have all of your extensions overlaping so much it makes a me little confuse i start to see other letters. I would also highly reccoment using a captial D

    just some lines that i lost interest in...

    chalk thats really sweet looking. At first I thought that K was an H tho so you might want to define that last bar a little more.

    Allright this is where I am at right now as far as developing letters and trying to come up with a new thro. I am trying to take someones advice and do the bars thing but some of these letters are obviously struggling a little bit any ideas on how to tweak it are always appreciated.

    Dank - keep doing simples and altering the bars slightly each time.
    Chalk those karaks are sick.
    Garbage down tha way its nice, personnaly i prefer lines instead of holes in throws. If ya know what i mean.
    Demo - Thts sick, good fading.

    Fo ma dad.

    Drak- To be honest i aint feeling your stuff anymore, nearly everyone has told you you should slow down with the arrows, and you just add more and more, do as you please though

    Drak Again- Glad to see your working on other stuff, its good man the bars are nice and even, kinda sketchy in some parts but all in all a great execution of simples

    SilentVandal- Theyre both hot but i really love that second one man, keep it up man your shit is fresh

    Hadep- Your As are not working with the 3d that your doing, and im not a fan of your Es, they jus seem so...pointy

    Exhale- Very...Abstract, its nice but id like to see a trace over with out all the invisible lines showing so i can distinguish the letters better, looks tight tho

    Frat- Not much to say cept for it looks nice man, keep it up, its like a cross between uhhhs style and sezers style

    Scare- The S and the A are real nice, the G is ok but that top bar looks a bit too big make it less noticable

    Demo- Your stuff to me always looks nice as a whole but honestly the letters are kind of weak, you do really complex layering and shading with extensions going everywhere but it just isnt working for me man

    Garbage- Looking good man, maybe redo it and work out any small imperfections and clean it up but yeah add a G now

    Chalk- Cool concept man, not sure about it now but ill wait until its finished to be sure

    Dinan- The simples are looking good man keep practicing

    Reps- The extensions are kind of ugly and so is the weird orange blotches on the green, maybe redo it with a different color scheme and this time take your time, slowly draw each letter and work on clean lines, and take more time on your fill it looks rushed
