They have. But I think maybe taking the tine out to just write the letter normally might help. It took me awhile to understand. But style comes from many things. Flow,spacing,shape, connections, angels. As well as many other things. But something I feel I think is wrong is the spacing. Some parts are mushed together other open and spaced out. Which fucks with the over all flow. Your handwriting on the answer sheet is good. Try that first. Walk then run. Remember we are writers. You cant have style if you cant write clean. My favorite hands are simple and clean.

I wish I had somewhere to paint. I live where it is cold. Paint would freeze homie. But I will draw it no doubt.

Not the hand the piece. I am a huge fan of handstyles. They are the what graff is to me. I grew up in Seattle so we took some style from all over. The like I said I do a hand just like it. The only difference is the add on yo the k. I do it sharper. I will try that piece out tomorrow and post it. Good lookin.
My typing is shit tonight. Hard day of work. I need some sleep.

@EkONE23- I meant to share this last week. A little more simple than yours but wanted to try it out. I missed adding the cool bar on the E that you did... I’ll get it next time.
I am going to bite this. If you dont mind? That hand is fire. I do like it. But this on in particular has so mich swing. In writing a name with 2 letters my hand have to have movment. There is not much to play with so they need to fight each other. Thanks big homie.

On 3/3/2020 at 7:26 AM, Joker said:Alright... this is hard for me because in the last 25+ years I've broke a lot of "rules" and have made a name for myself in doing so, but I'm going to call this one out anyway -
No rulers.
I get it. TRUST ME... I get it. All you have to do is look at my work and you know I get it. Clean lines mean everything to me. Straight lines, truly straight lines, are the best lines. Years ago I was painting a wall in Berkeley, CA. with Mike Giant, and this was during the short-lived electrical diagram phase I was in (whole 'nother story), so there were a lot of straight lines. I don't remember why or how but somehow Giant and I decided to have a "Who can paint the straightest line?" contest right then and there. It was hard fought, but I won. So I get it. That said -
No rulers.
My reason for this - if straight lines mean that much to you, then you can teach yourself to do them without the ruler. As a writer the hard, fast rule has always been no rulers. I've always felt the main purpose of this was because how in the hell are you going to take that perfectly drawn sketch to a wall and get the same perfectly painted lines? Some big-ass ruler? You going to have a friend hold the end of a 8' long 2x4 and another friend hold the other end so you can run the can along the edge of it for that straight line... for every line? It's not sustainable. Teaching yourself to hit those lines in your blackbook or on the wall is a better choice. It's not easy, but it's a better.
As for the perfect lines sketch itself, I can't tell you anything that @Gianthasn't already touched on. The letters are good, just need some finessing. Your more loose "wildstyle" sketch... honestly it isn't as bad as you make it out to be. Again, could use some finessing, some tightening up, but overall it's not bad. I wouldn't call it a Wildstyle, though. More Funk, or simple version of a Semi-Wild. The bar coming off the left of the E and then back in on the bottom... I really like that. One thing you could try is doing the same sketch but without all the Funk bits and bobs, just a simple-style EK. Then go back in and add those Semi-Wild bits and see if it feels better.
Big ups my g. I have been writing for a good long while. But for me it was all bombing. I have not really ever taken the time to teach my self how to draw. Now that I am older and settled down I find I look for things that take time. It is the time I get to slow my life down. You sound like my big homie. He is against the ruler. And I think you are right. For the the hardest part is translating the idea from my head to paper. I will just keep working at it.

This is why I dont fuck with wildstyles. I should have busted out the ruler. The shape is close to what I want but... Fucked it up.

I like everything but the E man. The middle part is really thin. There is no other lines on this piece that match. The D and O are fire amigo. So for me I would make the E not cross under the P. I think it fucks with the over all shape.

So I have been writing for a good bit now. I mostly stuck to bombing so hands and thorws. I moved to a very small town where there is nowhere to bomb and started drawing in my book a lot. After putting in work for a few hard weeks I feel as though I was able to translate my thought on to paper. What do you all think?
