    @Kaps2 Thanks for the tag ideas! I'll keep them in mind as I move forward.

    I don't want to become reliant on lined paper, but I took the rest of the page that I did the two-point perspective on and went slow on some block letters. I mean, really slow. I got 'em to look moderately decent, although my hand was shaky from caffeine.

    It does feel great to focus and fill up a page. I should probably practice alphabets and sentences/words/phrases for a while, at least until I can get the muscle memory for keeping consistent thickness.

    @Fyo: All shit except for the jamaica one, watch the thickness of your bars!
    @Tanz: Nice work man, you can clearly see you understood the core elemets of the letters. I esp like the 3d modeled L, Looks like a snake, very dope! Now do your alphabet 10x bigger! You wont get muscle memory if you do letters for ants!

    @TanZ Good start, listen to what nZane is telling you and also make sure to work on making your lines less shakier and more cleaner like Kaps2.
    @Fyo All of them need work, do what TanZ is doing.
    @Tempo Dope stuff dude.
    @nZane I'm digging your stuff as usual!
    @Kaps2 Your stuff looks clean but try doing letters like Tanz is doing for awhile.

    Fresh bro! Just get rid of the extension on top of the G, or let it start very thin and then get equally bigger. Its the first corner of the addon which throws it off. It should come out directly of the top! But good work!

    Puts, it looks good but i would put the "g" a little closer to the other letters.

    fyo- start over with keyboard letters, none of those pieces were working
    tarz- you actually have a pretty decent grasp, keep it simple like you're doing. but look at the way PUTS uses bars. You should be building your letters with bars like that, instead of writing the letter out. Practice using bars and staying simple for a bit
    puts- again, you understand simps too. But outline with marker, the pen outline makes it look way less clean and takes away from the letter structure, making it look worse than it is. But i do dig the simples, i like the second one better. Try not to separate your N and G so much, so cut down the length of the leg kicking out on the N maybe. Also, may be personal preference or not idk, but the middle part of the W make higher, almost as tall as the two ends of the letter. A small middle looks weird when the bars are much smaller than the outer, straight up bars of the W. The extension on the G is kinda random and doesnt work too well. Not bad though, keep going.
    kaps2- good youre keeping it simple. But the part where you draw in the letters with the bar like in the K and the middle hole of the E and the H in the middle, doesn't look good. Don't outline those lines inside the letters, just have the lines of the outline meet and keep it at that. Don't extend them into the letters, it doesn't look good.
    nzane- thats actually a pretty cool style, but im having trouble reading it even while i know what it says. Some of the extensions may be a little too much, and distracting. But its clean and decent letters

    Next time more resolution and rotate pls! Serifs of the S dont work like that, look at some pieces and do it like them

    Here you go:

    fyo- keep bar widths consistent. The leg of the R is pretty much nonexistent, its way too skinny. same goes for the middle of the A, and notice all along the S your bar gets fat the skinny, then fat, etc. Keep widths consistent. And have your bars meet up and intersect instead of "hitting" each other. The middle of the B for example, the 2 curved bars should end inside each other.

    Tried to fix what i was talking about as best i could, but it's hard as hell with a mouse

    And here we see me attempting to draw letters larger. The marker I've been using for practice looks like it's finally just out of energy, so I went over the outlines more than once to feel more of it out. Having some trouble with X the most, and a few others moderately. If I weren't broke, I'd buy a bigger sketchbook; this one is gonna fill up fast.

    Decent, but keep working on making your bar widths even.
    @Mildstyles Thanks for the crits
