eseLokE1uno 0 Posted July 26, 2003 The style your trying to pull off is a little to advanced for you. try simpler styles, you got the right ideas but your not there yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EveryWhere 0 Posted July 26, 2003 when i see yours im like whoa but when i take a closer look you really have weak structure like on the first, it LOOKS good, but the lack of real structure is the wrong way to write. the second gets a little better with the N and C. the third, you really start to develop your style. id also like to point out how annoying o's are. good progression, even if it was in a short time span. but as ese pointed out try simpler styles, get a flow. and if you hit a wall, go simple again.

EveryWhere 0 Posted July 26, 2003 and when i say hit a wall, i meant physically and mentally (like a writers block) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shape1369 1 Posted July 26, 2003 i agree i agree wholy on the on the notion that the first two's letter structure blow. at the time i was like cool they look good, then about a week later after id looked at them and analyzed them i was thinkin shit these suck. i was and still am fairly proud of the last one though cus i feel that i didnt try to go to crazy and i still kept the structure pretty well, only thing i dont like bout that one is the k, for some reason i have the hardest time with k's. my prollem is i never really have anything in mind when i start drawin so by the time i finish a drawing or sketch the style has changed from the beginning towards the end. its a lil frustratin. thanks for all the comments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shape1369 1 Posted July 27, 2003 found some more so i found some more real old stuff. remember when u whent through that phase where u thought arrows were the coolest thing? well i found mine from that period. the last one basically makes no sense but whatever it was just the product of my boredom in my precal class. again ill go in chronological order. i do have one that is fairly simple i like it. this one i did in my physics class. and yes i know that its not intelligent to put stuff on ur class work, but i dont paint so im not worried bout it. http://www.fototime.com/{610662E2-6BB6-4906-AAE5-A80CD36D8D14}/picture.JPG'> this second one is from precal, god i hated that class i either drew or slept every day. http://www.fototime.com/{8FA39C03-A104-430C-9908-871BBEEA0D91}/picture.JPG'> last one, this one says smoke but its really odd. http://www.fototime.com/{D5B6B647-DF67-4CF4-905C-8E88E2416808}/picture.JPG'> these are all from when i was gonna write smok, but then i realised i didnt like the letter combonation and i found out there are already a couple smok's out there. again anyone comments would be appreciated.

shape1369 1 Posted July 27, 2003 on the simple tip. yeah i understand the need for myself to work a lil more simply, but i was hopin a lil more for like hey u know u could do this, in terms of being simple or anything. iono anywho those last three i posted are near a year old, ive progressed a lil since then, as seen in the third pic of the first post. anywho keep them comments comin.

Intangible 40 Posted July 28, 2003 come with a basic letter form then tweak it...what you did was poopy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greensleeves 29 Posted July 28, 2003 ok, first of all, think of the most complex design you've ever seen, ok? good, now get some crayons, and draw it, you're guaranteed for success Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrabble 0 Posted July 28, 2003 You want some feedback. Not, can someone give me some feedback please. Or Can someone please give me some feedback. Oh no. You WANT some feedback... you know what? That sounds like an order. Scrabble dont take orders. Hell no! im just posting for the sake of posting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thynk_one 0 Posted July 28, 2003 heres some feedback. Dont write Shape. The names taken. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrabble 0 Posted July 28, 2003 So is every other name you can possibly think of. Unless you write something like Y7bH0F but you never know, that might be taken toooooooooooooooooo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EveryWhere 0 Posted July 28, 2003 If your worried about that, think about this. Take Ewok for example. Before him, taht name was original. But because he is a legend, no one writes ewok besides him (unless they are completely brain dead). So, if one writes a word, the trick is to be so good, people recognize you and hate on people who try to write what you write. In short, dont be the toy who writes another well known writer's tag, you be the well known writer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shape1369 1 Posted July 28, 2003 mehh i agree with everywhere. i figured shape was taken. at this point im just doin words that i think have good letter combos. i havent even really done a piece with the name shape, come to think of it. but that was a good point everywhere.

xwibxonex 1 Posted July 30, 2003 yeah, you got a good idea of the style you wanna do, try and work on bar letters, and refine the doodads and blobs (which are actually solid enough, but need refining) and find a happy medium between the two, and from there you will have it man, you'll be unstoppable. how long you been writing?

hyrax 0 Posted July 30, 2003 Who the fuck uses yellow paper anymore? Did your Grandma give you that shit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shape1369 1 Posted July 31, 2003 no doubt on the yellow paper thing. odd thing is is that one of my teachers at school requires yellow legal pads so i had it on me at the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
