i think this throw is starting to get a bit of character. something is off though, i can't quite put my finger on it.
^^ TROUTH?? AM I READING THAT RIGHT?? truth has no O but your name not mine. and there is also another truth on here. your 2nd T is not the same as the 1st and the R could look better as a capital or i may have missed that that is a capital and not an O in which case needs to be more simple View attachment 646361 View attachment 646362
hmm yeah man it says truth. yeah there's definitely somethings that are off, hopefully with practice it'll come together, i think theres a bit of character at least anyway its just kind of mushing white and black paint together when i need to pick one colour. with your throws sek try to keep the perspective with the letters, like where your s has a curve and a horizontal line through the centre of it, make sure that perspective lines up with where you draw the horizontal line through the centre of the e. making sense? i like the way the top part of the K on the right, where it meets the centre its inline with the horizontal line through the s. i dont think your K is jiving with the throw, it's cool tho trying to add some funk in there but just keep trying different flares man
Thuth I think you are going on a wrong direction and your stuff is getting worse imo. Here is my shit. Its abit faded cause my marker is running dry but let me hear your opinions.
^^^ I like it. Just make the letters the same size, add a little more of a bump on the right side of the U and maybe make the bottom of the E little fatter.
@truth generally, you want more curves than straight-lines. There are too many sharp corners in there. With throw ups, you should do it with a single market or pen. There's no need to do it in pencil and go over it.
Mastermind I like that scrappy straight letter style! You should add a fill. I've just been trying a few different styles, would love some crits on these. And one for my buddy Soke
Don't worry about filling them for now man jus do a bunch of outlines. Ur hands look like the have Parkinson's or something the lines are super shakey. As far as the throw the V looks like a U and the R looks like an A. Keep working on it Vs are hard for throws.
Thanks for the crits! Yeah it's hard to get it bubbly to match the other letters and not look like a U.
so went out for a quick bike ride and threw this up real quick. im happy with how quick and clean it went up got good coverage with relative speed took 3mins tops total. need a bag of cans to go bombin haha iv been wanting to paint for weeks now its like iv got an itch and now iv scratched it a little i need more haha anyways heres ma throw View attachment 646380
Bruce your thow definitely has some style and flow to it and your letter structures pretty down pat too just make sure your keepin the letters the same height / width and just keep practicing it cause it's a lil messy atm but good job @beav, if you're still working on your throw - the shapes of your letters, the sizes, the style etc etc its good to practice in pencil so you can get what you want out and then draw it. when you finally develop something that you wanna paint, then start practicing with a marker to get it down pat. thats my method anyway, works for me. your throws not bad, your keeping letter structure, you've got the right perspective through your word. it's just missing some style man. keep working on getting those letters clean as, but play around with a bit of style and get it flowing. vers nice work on keeping your letters structured and keeping perspective throughout your word. all the letters are the right height and width and your curved and bars and whatnot are in places that allow the word twao flow... i think what you need to work on though is the actual style you are using with your word. i dont think that style works too well on your letters, i'd probably try some different styles for your letters. like check out this. check out some S: http://www.graffitinewest.com/throw-up-graffiti/throw-up-by-shinoda-ge/ http://riotsound.com/Graffiti/art-gallery/albums/Ottawa-Graffiti/Throwup.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3420/3385833634_6c83144f09.jpg check out some E: https://tarjoeandnina.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/throw-up-graffiti-style21.jpg http://www.graffitinewest.com/throw-up-graffiti/throw-up-battles-the-writers-forum-the-graffiti-2/ http://farm9.static.flickr.com/8204/8234174502_7204ff64aa_m.jpg hey sek nice job on the painting your S and E are simple but they're nice man and the whole things pretty clean good work just your K is way off man sorry, work on that K ------------------ SOME OF MY STUFF: Well here's an old throw just for reference and critique. [Broken External Image]:http://s5.postimg.org/dxyg9ykqf/old_throw1.jpg Here's a few I've been working on recently. It's hard! But I do feel I'm slowly making more progression with it. It might not look so at first glance, but everytime I write out these letters, I get a better understanding of it's shape and how it jives with my word.

I'd give crits but it would be like the blind leading the blind. idk what im doin lol, but ill just say i like everyones enthusiasm
really trying to sort this K out View attachment 646383 View attachment 646384 View attachment 646385
@Bruce Just clean up your letters, not a bad start @Mastermind First, not a throw. Besides that, Outline is mad ugly, always fully fill your shadow on stickers. The B is nice though @Vers Stop biting that whack ass style, always a dead giveaway that the throw is from a toy if its in that style. Develop something yourself @Sek Chill with painting, you're just wasting paint that you could use when your throws get developed. That sharp throw isnt bad but it just needs tweaking to make sure that the spikes dont look out of place. keep working G @Truth Nothing is changing bro, take a step back and stop with the repetitive style. Cut out the sharp corners and curve things, it'll make it flow a lot better. You should add a little sharpness (if you still want to) when your letters develop more. @Rumi Same thing I said to Vers about that bitten style, its not even appealing when done well. Kill that throw and develop some steeze on your own, I know you can because you're capable of creating other forms of art. Keep working, you have a lot of ability but it just needs to be pointed in the right direction. @Reks That style is weak, I'd just scrap it entirely. Do some research on throws and you'll learn a few things about what does and doesnt work.
