Thanks, and yeah
Currently live in a small suburb just south of downtown

 

I'm brand new to graff and am definitely a toy. I just wanted a crit on my handstyle. I know it isn't great, but I was wondering what I can do to improve.

 

Welcome to the forums, all writers are welcomed haha,
I'm not too good with handstyles but it seems that yours is pretty solid, although I can't really read that last word
Maybe try making less space between your words, bring them closer together but keep them legible

 

it says "promote the stoke"?!xD
kill that lines across the O ´s
my advice is that classic shits like stars,quotes or arrows... can help haha but the most important thing are the letters

 

That line across the os makes em look like Es.

 

Thanks all! I've since done almost an entire sketch book of handstyke. Here is more recent styles without all the extra lines and goofy shit.

 

Feel like I'm getting pretty solid on my lettering, but I'm nervous to do backgrounds and fill in my work.

 

your letters are solid. if your really worried about fuckin up the sketch (which you shouldn't be) make copies of it and rock a bunch of different fills and effects. much like every other aspect, practice is the only thing that will make you better

 

Thinking of switching to a lower case "a" how do y'all do yours?

 

Disregard the other tags just stoned and doing my dogs name if she was a hippy tagger

 

Then just draw backgrpunds and fills

 

Been out for a minute

Noad looks like you're trying to do a throwie, get some bars in there.

Moler, shits still hot as ever

Socon your letters are fairly on point, at this point you need to be experimenting with different flows and letter combos. Make sure you're not stuck doing the same sketch over and over and you should progress pretty quickly.

Got a WIP and a black and white, been slack on the sketching so my standard has slipped a little. Apologies for size, i have no idea how big they are as I'm posting from my phone.

 

Cool stuff, Semper. On the 2nd one, is it a S or D?

 

I am trying to do a throw.

 

The best tip for a throw is to throw it dont sketch it look for vids of people drawing their throw it flows yours looks to sketched

 

^^^Ageed. In my opinion flow is the most important thing in a flow, then style. Noad, your stuff looks kinda forced with no overall flow. Try really simple letters like the old school writers did. Try to stay away from the really bubbly stuff like what you're doing now. Try something completely different.

 

Piece I made mostly to practice with some color fills, shitty letters and some filters and shit, will have more time now that schools over

 

Critics would be cool!
