@thatguy: I am not one to be giving advice about anything, but keep the 3D parts consistent, like make sure the shading is all coming from one direction or else it looks like it's coming from 5 different light sources. If a light is on the right, all the shadows will fall to the left, I hope you know what I'm talking about. Also the border color, the orange, try to make it less choppy. I'm not gonna critique on the letters because I'm simply not good enough to recommend anything better. If you want to start with something a little easier, look up alphabet throwie on youtube and get some ideas from there maybe, just for starters.
ohsnap - take the H and the N from the top one and put it with the rest of the letters from the bottom one and it would look alot better i think. rasek - i dont know what it is but i love your painted shit but i dont feel your sketches at all haha...
if i was a cop... i would totally make a stereotypical sounding profile like bomber420 and swear a lot while usuing proper grammar and talking shit about my sister....if youve been in graff for 3 weeks your shit would look something like this.... its ok though, keep on keeping on officer, because with out you graffiti wouldnt be so exciting....[/QUOTE] Ya and if you didnt think we wouldnt be good enough to catch that every pic he posted was a diff name and mostly completely diff style. Nice try but we are hungry here and we smell bacon quick
AHH this ones for cake. ELM. nice short word, i like it. your set of bars there? i didnt like so much lol. now lets really bring this into easyness. instead of trying to make up your own styles go and practice turning your letters into styles by other writers. keep this in your sketch book, if you want post up your progress here. this will help you learn to manipulate letters. i personally like to take a few more steps when i screw up my bars. i do verticles then horizontals. make sure that at NO TIME does the width of the bar change. even in the curves. its like drawing with a pencil and two fixed tips. always in unison. also think of which bar is in front of the other and draw it infront. Also make sure you have really made just bars that are straight. with ELM thts easy but letters like R and B can be difficult. look at other styles and try to see where which bars are located. look at raseks style, very basic but very welldone and looks good. you can see what the drawer sees as far as bars. stay away from extentions for abit. make the middle of the M is 2 bars and not just a V shaped single bar. Also tboth sides of the M dont have to mirror each other in the end.
scratch - looks good oene - practice bars desipher - diggin the colors bigel - fresh as always [Broken External Image]:http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/6001/ske39uy5.jpg [Broken External Image]:http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/7343/rewqih1.jpg 2 new sketches...crits???
no cop would hang around a toy blackbook thread. the few that are on here stay on the local flix threads.
i love my pigglywiggly fried up with pancakes. thats good shit. but seriously. he didnt even try hard enough to throw in the occasional "dope" or "ill". thats the reason hlaf of us have never actually been "caught" too dumb to think things through.
jers- liking it man. good work with the extensions on the first one. not feeling the J on the second though. scratch- sick naro-loving the fills, but not so much the O. just my opinion. but for crits...

personally id lose the extension on the top of the A really nice J tho mabye try to fix the e i guess....i dunno
shrimp boy, thats decent for what youre doing, try using bars though, its harder but helps in the long run. jers i like that naro your As and Os are too small for the rest. the bottom R isnt good and you should focus more on letter structure, not coloring it in. those extensions are weird and seem forced. i came up with this in my head on the way home tonight but it didnt really turn out how i wanted...
