for the newbies just study the people that are better then you, see how we write, look at the flow of the letters, all are in proportion,and similar, i dont know why newbies (toys) allways start out with this pointy weird handstyle, nobody writes like that any more, just get a notebook and tag n tag n tag n tag n tag n tag....then move to throws then shadows on yur throws then 3d, and so on and so forth, get a marker in your hand and go hit your hood, a marker feels way better then a pen or pencil, but just like a test at school study whats around you, be it on the web or in your city, look at the kings in your city, or the major krews,im not sayin just flat out bite them but get inspired by them, good luck and practice practice practice!!
