real ale devils backbone is what i have been drinking lately, decent belgian-style (little too flat, tap is better) 8% abv for 9 bucks a 6 pack

boom there seems to be too much goin on.. too many various widths and doo dadders.. im guessin you have been slackin on sketchin (me too ha) id start simple again and work my way to more add ons and such... does it say toast or toyst or something?

the ui is more like what i meant... but its neat that you care!

work on proportions... ...this place changed a lot since last time...

dogfish punkin ale and anchor porter 100%!

propz- some of your lines are clean and the first p, though it looks familiar, is pretty cool... but most of your structure isn't good. IMO it looks as if you've never really done a crazy amount of simples. that will probably help. sewek - looking good man freak- you're full o chit finish that!

quicknasty...

rant - your fills/ coloring is pretty dope but your structure is lacking IMO. the letters are awkwardly bulky in some areas and the extensions also sometimes don't seem to have a purpose but to take up space... hope it helps..

please be so kind as to post more of this gentleman's righteous works...

yes, dont try to add to much to your letters, just like in (good) straights/throws/graffiti the letters, no matter how wacky, are based off of a good, simple letter structure. First get a clean simple hand down, just crazy basic ZOMB. Once this is possible with little to no effort everytime, maybe put a vertical line at the end of the bottom Z bar next 100000000 times... just keep pushing the basic letter, dont try to create a new one... ...and just to be clear with the cracks and other shit i say not to do.. i mean just dont FOCUS on these things. def. fuck with cracks, styles, stupid extensions, etc... you just dont need to post everything... ...

zomb i would not do cracks or anything yet... they are not horrible or anything but cracks, 3d, effects, etc. should all be used in moderation and shouldnt be used until you have a good basic letter structure down... i know it sounds 'boring' to draw simples all day/years but it helps a lot... improving though..btw work on your handstyle as well(simple letters no tricks) ...

for example on the k in yokai there is the area where the vertical bar meets the curved leg.. looks like it barely connected/has a chip out of it... thats what i was talking about though i dont know if thats what they are officially called.. beast pretty cool, lots of neg space around b and e..

root - linework not bad but its too much, do simples, get better structure.. yokai - cut ins are mad fun, but remember to keep em sensible, ie with the cut in on the bottom leg of the y you have to keep the same angle at the bottom... hard to explain... just random stuff...

yokai, work on your hands... i know rea has said it before, but it all starts with a stylish hand.. thats the basis of all your letters..

yokai the way you loop the bottom of your y (usually ) doesn't seem to work.. there's no reason to it..

pert

Noone - that nos is straight ass, like all the other ones you've posted... either listen to people and try to improve via simples, etc. or stop posting these visual nutsacks... ...

if you are really trying to improve hikari let me offer advice: 1.your stuff sucks and will for a while. realize this and use it as motivation.. 2. DO SIMPLES. no rock effects or vines etc. til you have. basic structure down.. which will take a while. 3. don't post every sketch ...just practice and have fun...

random penner...

honestly, eli, (imo) you've always had too many cut-ins/continuing internal lines in 1 piece... and sometimes the letter structure (like on the 's' in abys) is just awkward... bars are good to a point, but you also have to throw in more curvy, abstract lines sooner or later... if that makes sense? i dont know..

looks like baraka from mortal kombat, as well...

none - throwies are alright although clearly generic/bit styles....do your own thing .. upon - letters way too crowded... sometimes people can pull off the letters-squished-onto-a-single-board look but that one is not good. go simpler.

in effect...

freak that looks dope man! i wish you would take the 2 more minutes or whatever it would take to thicken/thin outlines and make precise strokes cause your stuff would look infinitely ill if it was a tiny bit cleaner...
