    @EGGZ- I was just looking through your sketches again and something that kept hitting me was the idea of using your E to create your Z. It'll help you make your entire piece feel more consistent in the way it looks/feels.

    Yo definitely will try integrate the reverse E to a Z look on my next. Thanks.

    All platforms evolve but I don't sway from the roots much.

     

    Digital ain't for me.

    I like this G. Just do two of these instead of making the second one different.

    Yo thanks man.

     

    Just a heads up if anyone's wondering why I've gone quiet. I've moved to the otherside of Australia over 4000 kilometres. So yeah still planning to get another wall up in the next month or so. .

    Used a New York Fat for the whole piece. Disregard the wack background haha. Something else I really need to work on.

     

    I am however very happy with the progress of my lettering. I tried to measure it out with dots.

     

    Lemme know what y'all think.

    Tried this with a fat cap only. Struggle st for sure. I'm going to try and stay consistent with my caps and cans. Atleast for outlines anyway.. 

     

    Also got a crazy lean haha. Tried a different approach. Will deff have to mark out my next one I think..

    Let’s just take a moment to appreciate what a couple of months of dedication, experimentation, listening to advice and applying that advice can accomplish. Keep it up @EGGZ!

    But, please fix that lean 😂!

     

     

    Haha thanks man. It's one thing getting told your toy stuff is good by family, but when you get props from actual writers who paint it mean alot more truth wise anyway.

     

    I will throw down some hand styles l, but I've never actually done them alot with cans. Flares look cool and something I'd like to learn. Still a long way to go.

    I dig the colors on the last one on the previous page. You are progressing for sure dude! It might have been mentioned already but as you start to get better try to center your name on the board then work on expanding it to take up that whole thing. use all that space! Or do two pieces next to each other. It’s good to know how to stretch or shrink your word so it looks good in whatever space you have available. If you head out to paint in the wild you’ll run into all kinds of shapes and sizes of stuff to write on. Nothing worse than having one of your letters disappear behind a tree or get taken out by a huge unpaintable water spot from a leaky gutter.  so you want to be able to work around that stuff and still keep your letters proportional. If you find a place where you can go really big you want to be able to kill it and have it look like it belongs there. I did a rooftop roller once on this spot that I knew would run for years. Getting in with an extendo roller and cans of bucket paint was no screw ups serious so I wanted that piece to shine because it’s not the kind of place you get to go back to for an encore once it’s blown. Thought I had everything mapped out to fill the whole roof but as I was wrapping up I realized there was too much blank space on the end so I tried to “fix” it with a weird extension on my last letter. It looked totally out of place and just…wrong. I was proud of the spot but that extension thing bugged me every time I saw it until I finally moved away from that city. 

     

    Yo thanks man. I deff have an issue with symmetry but I see that not all graff uses it. Maybe a base level what your saying which is what I'm slowly understanding.

     

    This next attempt I tried to keep it more lined up, but notice it's quite hard making everything line up.

     

    Maybe I will start actually measuring an area beforehand as a base, because at the moment I'm straight freestyling. Not even using a sketch.

    @EGGZ

    You have the slight angle still since your E is lower than the rest of your letters. Your highlights also look off from not having any on the lower bars. The Z is the weakest letter and could use some decreasing of the thickness of the bottom bar. Delete the purple background.

     

    I dig the color combo and overall looking pretty solid.

     

    I was critical of this thread when you made it, but now look forward to your post showing your efforts 😆.

     

     

    Yo thanks for the crits. I was going to put highlights on the lower bars but was really worried about over doing it as usual. I do love the colours too on this.

     

    Some of my pieces are pretty wack  but I do see improvement and taking on crits as I go. Thanks for respecting my hustle anyway haha.

    Maybe true. But I have definitely had issues lining it all up previously. I'm happy with this sort of simpler style. Hopefully I continue to improve on it.

     

    I can definitely understand now it's all about the flow and letters before the colours and fill. I was going to colour it and I looked at it and said, you know what, I like it plain in white.

     

    I have ruined alot of my attempts with over complicated stuff and too much colour or additions..

    I wrecked it with the green force field. I did have the purple going through the background of letters. I've learnt it's not always a good idea to add a forcefield anyway as it looked better beforehand.

     

    I find it hard to add it also.

     

    I seem to cut alot of my lines. Is that normal? Or will the need to cut slowly go away once I get good can control. .

    This is a nice improvement and definitely the strongest work you have posted.

     

    The bottom of you E is sitting a little low and the bottom of your Z a little high. The perspective on your 3D conflicts with the the 3D in the hole of your Z.

    Thanks LUGR for the crit. I see what you saying about the 3D in hole on Z. And the hight of my E.

     

    I also think levels of my words aren't exactly how I'd like. Id prefer to arch the bottom to be honest so i want to try that. There's deff room for improvement, but I'm happy with my progress so far.
