JWR that looks like shit. Listen to what other people already told you. And puts no one can tell you how to "add style". You either have it or you don't
I dont think its about developing style, its about getting the letter structure and visualizing it in your head before it hits the wall/ paper. If you keep practicing your basics, you will see the letter form in your head before it reaches the wall/paper and thats why its important, because once you start actually visuallizing the letter in your head, the add on just add themselves, its weird lol. I like collapsing my bars onto each other and my tags to be overlapping loops lol. My point is keep practing, draw the outline of the entire letter, drawing bars gets boring, challenge yourself to draw the letter outline with out bar help, unless you really dont know the direction you are going with that letter. P.S. im a toy and my advice might not be the right one, so take it with a grain of salt. Edit, i forgot this is taggs only, by bad. I know nothing about taggs lmao. this is what ive been working on, i like makin loops.
JWR.. not legible. Take the advice everyone is giving.. PUTS, loons right.. theres no point where you wait until adding style.. its just that -ism.. like loon said, you either got it or you dont
@Travel The t is fine if u balance with the l. -I recommend u don't get into any of that shit yet. Just write ur name as fast as u can and until your fingers bleed
When i am practicing writing simple alphabets on paper should i focus more on speed and "flow" or "perfection"? if that makes sense.In other words should i use the "font" i write in normaly or try to perfect each letter?
Don't ever stop focusing on flow. Especially if your lines are shaky, if your curves are wonky etc. When you can sketch out flowing lines then play around with styles. Speed can make or break flow, it depends on the person and the line. You have to find that balanced sweet spot for you, and that will only come with practice. What is more important than speed is steadiness. You need to be able to make a line without stopping a bunch of times during because that takes away from the smoothness and starts to make it look shakier. It doesn't matter how fast you write it so long as you just keep the pen/marker moving, As a rule of thumb though, slower movements generally aren't as smooth, and faster movements produce less flowing forms (wonky curves etc.) Obviously you can overcome that with practice, however. You've got to balance the two.
i get what you are saying but let me give you an example of what i meant, i can write an A starting from the top going down then double cross that line and from the top draw the next one (a letter "oneliner" lets say, which feels more natural to me) OR draw the line top to bottom pick the pen and draw the next one from the top which kinda makes it cleaner.Should i try both or should i focus on the more natural one? Dont know if I am making any sense xD
It doesn't matter. Both will produce different results and practicing each will evolve your style in different ways. You have to decide what to do, we can't evolve your style for you. There aren't any rules for how to write the lines of a letter, some ways just work better than others for certain people.
k i see , thanks a lot , i just want to be sure my hours of practicing wont be worthless because i was doing it wrong

Abesk you gotta get you keyboard letters down.. i dont see much if any progression from the last few tags you posted before Writing the same style attempted tag over and over wont truely progress you as a writer like alphabets and keyboards would
