I like the colors hawt Went from paper to my practice wall in a matter of minutes but i liked the idea so ran with it... lov the critz.
Drop your y further make all ur letters the same width and use bars, and up and down or side to side well filling
evasion, that's sick, i really like it, but i think maybe you went a bit overboard with the lens flare things, and a few lines could use cleaning up. other than that though, i think you're on the right track guilty, keep working on letter structure, and fix the last 3 letters... don't tilt the L like that, change the T up, and fix the y. this is my second attempt at a piece, trying to work on can control as much as possible... not making a lot of progress though, and i'm not quite satisfied with this one. i fucked up the first "m". let me know some can control tips if you've got any... all crits are welcome.

^ yeh u shud sketch more and buy 50 dollar cans it will help with can control when ya finished them all.......
Janek...your practice is deffinately paying off...last one's not bad at all. Evasion...I think you should take it back a bit. Please don't ever stencil weed leaves or Ak's into your piece again. Like someone said, a bit overboard on the glare/shine effect, finally, work on cutting lines. I dunno why kids don't cut lines...it makes shit so much cleaner to look at.... Guilty....sorry...no.. stuff to work on: Don't do faces in your letters (in my opinion, ever, I hate them always) But atleast until your ready Sketch. a lot. I respect a well painted straight letter i more than a messy attempt at style. Personally I'd lose the Nike swoosh thing and work on the handstyle Work on the drips Last, don't bother wasting like 2 cans on a fill, when the wall behind it is almost the exact shade. Not trying to be a dick, just giving honest crits. SAPS...not feeling the pointy letter ends at all, but the rest is pretty clean and simple...dope... HAWT, sketch a lot before you try anything that complicated again. That said, your overall can control isn't bad at all, but learn to cut lines. It would make a huge difference in your painting. Tezer, that white and purple on the round is on point Just fucking with can control for a clean background....gonna do a lot more with it...Crits? View attachment 507676
I don't wanna' say what's been said but... Woulda' sucked to get bopped hittin' that wall cause you were wastin' time with that white on white fill. Then you really woulda' been 'guilty'.
Thanks for the input. The sketch actually turned out way better than the painted product, which isn't a surprise. I fucked it up. And this will be a really shitty question I assume, but what do you mean by cutting lines?
I'll do my best to explain. I know there's a decent tutorial in the New To Graff thread one or two pages in. Basically, look at the lines on what I posted. The lines of the dark green outline that end in the yellow come to sharp, clean points, instead of thick fuzzy rounded ends, right? I used to think that kids had some kind of crazy thin tips or something to make that happen, but all they have to do is cut. You lay down the outline (green in my case) as thick as you want. Doesn't matter how it looks. Then come back with the fill color (yellow) and overlap the green. If you do it in the right crisscross patter, it leaves a thin sliver of outline where you want it. Not easy to explain, but probably the simplest painting technique I've figured out. If that didnt make any sense, I'll try and explain better with pictures.
ahhh yeah that makes a ton of sense. i'll work on that. thanks a lot. i dig what you're doing too, is that on canvas?
Yeah. If I was gonna leave it as it, I would have just done it on plywood and saved the giant fucking canvas. But I plan to do acrylics, oils and deco over it.
