    areos, looks like youre going for advanced letter style without an understanding of the simpler and basic letters...take it back a notch to practice something simpler. Good choice of colors though, keep sketching but try with less add ons or letter bends.

    eats dope and simple, i'd say the T is a little too hidden. Move it out a bit and thats a solid simp

    flow i really cant see that at all

    agus thats some dope shit. got that weird style i can never do but appreciate looking at

    sycophant not to undermine what zoup said to you, but i feel like the R is the weakest letter of that piece. That being said though, I like the S A and the other S, nice and simple and buttery. Middle part of that last S should be brought down to touch the bottom part of the S just cuz that space makes the letter look awkward. The R should ditch that triangle-ish shape and be more rounded imo. solid piece my man

    Mildstyles: thanks, I don't know what kind of style my works are.. I only try and try to get my own style, which I enjoy it and get the nice flows..

    Eats: I used to do stencil and tagging many years ago when I was young. But now I have my family around me. I'd rather spend my time and my money with my daughter and wife rather than go out on the street and buy cans.. I'm quite satisfied with only make shit on paper and I'm diggin' it. Yeah, maybe someday I will take my cans and go out again.. someday..

    Hey guys, thank you for your crits! @Mildstyles, I'm just wondering what did u mean by saying that I don't understand basic letters. Can you tell me some more? All I do is basic letters and afterwards I add some extensions and add ons.

    Quick chunky letters at work. Ran out of room but I'm kinda feeling where it's going. It's like a white person cooking chicken. It's basic with a tiny bit of flavor lol

    Loon: The L looks like Z, isn't it?

    With a name like flow, you should practice more flow. For real, you need to pay attention to the direction your lines are going and what you can do to help emphasize them into smooth and aesthetically pleasing forms. Straight lines need to be STRAIGHT not lumpy. Curved lines need to be smooth and fluidly curved, not LUMPY.

    And when you have lines going off at certain consistent angles, (say 45 degrees) then pay attention to that, Don't throw in some random shit going off in a 130 degree angle or something and ruin the consistency of the piece unless it's absolutely vital to your idea.

    Also, pay attention to the overall size of your letters. They don't all have to be the exact same size but the overall piece needs to have a decently consistent size to it, generally speaking. If your first letter is big, don't make the rest tiny af. You can have some smaller letters but at least balance it by having one of the last letters mirror the size of the first.

    Consistency goes a long way, and not just with overall letter style. The way you curve/angle your lines, the width of bars, the size of your letters, their colors, the list goes on. . all these things improve when you start to pay attention to them and develop and overall consistent themes with them in your pieces.


    Flick for the chatter:

    Walk before you run gambino. Graff is sick for sure, but it doesn't get that way over night... If you wanna write, check out the history of graffiti first. Learn how the whole game got started, how it progressed, and how it got to where it is now. Knowing the history will help you better understand what you're doing. Like idkhands said, tags, throws, then pieces. And definitely stop coloring cuz that looks like Dr. Seuss just threw up. Sorry.

    And loon...stop drawing and driving lol. I'm sure that's more dangerous than a chick doing her makeup while driving
