KiSe Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 dude riak, thats somthing to be proud of man. for the 4th piece gawd damn! your progressing at the same rate every time, very few people get good that fast, i sure didnt bust shit like that out on my 4th piece. Now the part that isnt so nice: i can see from the pic that some of the lines are a little shaky and a few of the lines that are supposed to straight are bent a little. and a few porportional issues, just a little based of the sketch. BUT DO NOT SWEAT IT, 4th piece looks better then anybodys 4th piece should look like. just takes practice to get good clean lines, and learning how to tranfer paper to a wall. and its good to see your not just one of the kids on here that just sketches and never paints, and you should be proud of your shit. on the last note how long have you been writing altogether, like since u started sketching? 2 years=:king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate2*88 Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 :DThanks Cieto, and thanks Kise. I really appreciate it. When I posted the flic, I was going to say how my outline still needs alot of work, and the left bar of the R is too big, and the bottom right bar of the K, at the bend, sort of slides, not bends, and it is too small, and the outline on the A is kind of fucked, but I just decided not to. Since you saw the same things, I just will say I agree. That outline messed it up each time I painted, so I need to work on that. I've been fucking around with ink for about a year and a half, then I realized what I was doing was graff, then started focusing on my letters, but in the wrong way. I had no idea about letter structure much less what it was, but my shit just got more complex without letter structure. After posting on here, I learned flow first, then letter structure hit me one day in class when I realized my B in that 'NOLA Bustr' sketch, back in the thread, had different bars. That was in September. If you count the time I've been sketching and knowing what I'm doing, try 3 months max. Overall fucking around, a year and a half.

KiSe Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 your throwups deffinetly need work, try taking some of your other letters then simplfying them, then go from there instead of trying a completly different approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate2*88 Posted November 8, 2003 Author Share Posted November 8, 2003 Thanks yall. Kise, you mean I should make the throws resemble my other letters but as simple as a throwie should be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiSe Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 yeah pretty much, don't try to make your throwups look like everyone elses, just do what you know and it will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate2*88 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Had some inspiration from the local flavor and freights...Yall think I should work with this? http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00366163f00000213.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiSe Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 NO. has no flow and the shapes are hella corny, do what you want to do, dont ask 12oz people to tell you what to draw but if your gunna stick with that type of style learn shapes that flow good together and letter structure is #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate2*88 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Thanks man, I'll probably just stick to the stuff I posted earlier for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSeusLives Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Yeah, stick with the YOUR style. Not that crap you saw from the locals and freight yard. peace! AMEK ps_ You got flicks of the local stuff and the freight yard? :) If so, post them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fate2*88 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 Yeah man, I got some flicks, but I don't really want to start a whole new thread in Metal Heads. I go to the rails every day, but trains don't come every day, I barely see any pieces that compare to the things on here. If you want, I can just email you the ones I have, no trading or anything, I'll just give you them if you want them. Post your email if you want them. As for local writers, I think they would have posted if they wanted their flicks on here, so I'm not going to do that, but I do have some out of town frieghts.

klue Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 well if you read the whole thread, start out with simples.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERKS Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 jamaldbestt start simple,,, dont get into that crazy shit untill u master simple bar letter,,, bombing letters,,,, throwie letters,,, from mastering all those youll develope a good style n then you can start getting complicated with the simples and add shit till they sort of 'morph?' into pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERKS Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 oh and if you write on lined paper,,, at first try to line up the bottom of all your letters with one of the lines or the bottom of the paper so your shit is strait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fate2*88 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Share Posted November 9, 2003 I'm still sticking with my style like yall recommended, but I'm going to try to learn 'shapes' and shit like Kise said. Hopefully I won't create a mess. As for the throws, I've jut been gradually fucking around with it, hopefully it will develop. Given the advice from Optimus, about drawing in a rectangle, capital R, etc., I came up with these, so far, of course. http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00366163f00000214.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
