*These aren't throwies but they're nice. I think you should either stick with this "style" or just stick what you think is right. But if you chose to continue to achieve that "right style", I suggest getting a good letter structure.

 

 

Your lettesr aren't terrible [i'm talking about your simples] but your letters don't match. The only reason they don't match, is because some bars [or just the letter itself] aren't all the same in size. You're probably thinking "So, so-and-so letter's are different sizes and their letters lood good". True but they're experienced with basic letter structure. To make a long story short, don't rush your stuff. Don't attempt a wildstyle yet.

 

 

That goes for you, me, and any other toy. I don't do "wildstyle" myself because I find it difficult. I haven't really found my "style" yet. Plus, I always want my letters to be "readable". If someone passes by one of my pieces on a wall, I want them to be like "Damn, this MELK kid is nice" NOT "Damn, this toy is garbage. Imma paint over his shit". I think you should always have a piece that you'll be able to paint with ease. But as the moths/years go on, you can do whatever you want.

 

 

Stay up

MELK

 

P.S - You gotta decide on whether you want to write FATE or FAIT. I bet "FATE" is takin' already though.

And i understand what you're saying Melk. I did start out with pieces and i should have worked my way up to pieces, but thats why i've started practicing simples and i hope to improve more before putting anything else on a wall. Thanks for the tips.

Common mistake by all toys is to put a lower-case kick on the bottom of an upper-case T. As a veteran I'm here to tell you... don't ever, ever ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER... ever come in here, with this again...

Your letters lack life and a sense of movement. They're very stale. Even your simple letters. Which is fine, no sweat. But when you want to add some spice to your simples... you need movement and life to make the letters jump off...

 

Just a tip from yer Uncle Joker...

See how in the T I drew for you that it almost looks juicy? Like you could bite into it. Not that what I've drawn is that good but it shows some movement with the flow and lean of the T. It all kind of goes together. Am I making sense? I'm honestly not trying to be an ass, I'm seriously giving advice.

 

And maybe look into reading the user manual of your digital camera... mainly the section on how to focus.

Thanks for the advice man i really appreciate all of it. You probably stopped me from doing something some real stupid stuff with my work. I understand what you're saying about the T and i'll definitely work on it.

I'm going to practice with it and post up later tonight probably. Oh yeah, my digital, it's a cheap 50 dollar HP camera, and it has no focus...terrible for sketches. It's all i could get together, but whatever. I'll post up later and thanks again.
