Word! I see what you mean! Only thing I would say about my bars not being the same size is that I don't want my piece to look too much like a block letters one. But hey, thanks for your comments. You're probably the last one on here that take time to write proper comments. cheers!
I can kind of see what you mean mild, some of the extensions and spikes are lacking a bit. As for the way the letters are that's just my style I suppose but i'll keep working at it
The drips were just made with a drip mop, so they were random, I just thought it'd be different to outline the SPQR. I've done bars in the past, but I suppose all start in on them again
Ye I think that one extra bar in the corner of the b makes it look like an r. Today's sketch. Tryna do one a day and a page of a letter for handstyle practice.
I think the only thing that takes away from the whole thing is the "ice ice baby"...doesn't do anything for me. Also the bar at the top of your L, the one with the arrow, makes the L look more like a Z
ey no problem ratyz. Definitely vary widths and heights of bars and letters, it won't always work but thats what experimenting is for. You're easily at the stage where you can add good style to your pieces, keep it up As for most everyone else, use consistent bar widths until you understand flow and letter structure better. No sense in varying the widths of your bars if it just looks awkward and ugly junglizt nothing wrong with having your own style, I can tell you for a fact there are people that don't like my style. It's all preference. Just take that style and really make it your own, make it look almost flawless. I may not like some people's styles but when they're good at their style you can't deny the skill, just the fact that you dont prefer that style. Loon you gotta go back to simples. Its good to see youre experimenting but its pretty easy to tell you dont have a definite grasp of the basics yet. just do more simps
For some reason it reminds me of the 300 logo lol I like the idea but the letters get lost in all the blood
@Late: Cool idea. Your letter proportions/ thickness needs works, that L is too skinny compared to the other letters. Also, the top of the L being an arrow, not feeling that. The top arrow on the E looks odd, the arrow on the side of the E is not connected to anything and the little curl on the E is just outta place. Also the way the L and A are connected is really not a good look. I like the basic shape of the letters though and a good idea for the whole piece.
The scheme and the blood effect are great, but in my opinion dat sketch needs wider lines (but keep on using the fineliner) and forget all this arrows if they kill the flow.
View attachment 646203 Struggling with pencil on parcel paper. The s needs to be smaller, but I had trouble portioning it out. Anything else?
I tried to make the arrows of the L symmeticle to that of the E. First time ive really worked on using thin bars with thick bars. i suppose i focused too much on the L, your deff. right, its not consistent with the rest of the letters. so more of an experiment to see where i can develop. i really appreciate the crits guys, every lil bit helps. guna keep workin on this.
You got it Late I decided on a new name and this is my first crack at it. Not happy with the size or shape of the C and K, and trying to get some cleaner lines. Anyone have suggestions on hew to get clean straight lines without using a ruler?
I did do bars initially to create the letters. Didn't know you meant to only do that and nothing else. I suppose telling me to do bars doesn't help me in that it doesn't critique the piece I posted. Or maybe it is all very subjective.
