quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 hey, simple letters are the basis for greatness. I wasted a lot of time trying to do wild style right off the bat yea same here man, you would probably throw up if u saw some of the "wildstyles" i did when i first started. im all thinking "hey man this wildstyle shit is easy, i kick ass!!!" and then i looked at them the next day and i was like ""what the fuck is that shit" lol, they are soooo horrible. i think i might post one up in a bit just to get some laughs.

rkstrscralactica Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 here's a simple i did today in school the light pencil line running through the letters is the line where i was thinking about adding colors how's it look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 RKS, this is probably going to annoy you... but it needs to be simpler, the letter structure isnt very uniform... dude the E looks like one of those weird moray eel things....:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkstrscralactica Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 the S's on both are pretty bad and on the second one; on the downward point in the M, you got the line going a little higher on the right side than on the left side, looks wierd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segwaynwp Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 i forget who said it, but i pray that you arent serious when you say that needs more arrows. you shouldnt worry about arrows until you have good letters. dont fuck with fancy fillins and arrows until your letters look good. http://www.liquidscape.com/graffitipages/fivelaws.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 ill say it for you lens... STAY SIMPLE.... natz, dude, just go back like 10 pages and then go thru a read all the advice that everyone else keeps getting and then go practice more man....:shakehead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Not a bad effort but if you're going to make two letters connect from such a long distance, you need to be more subtle about it. That big line across the A is about as subtle as throwing your penis onto a girls face and asking for head. If your inention was to incorporate it as apart of your "A", then mission unaccomplished. the best thing you've got going is the "S" which although should be more proportional, has some good potential. The left side of the "M"....hmmmmm, that one thing just branches off and ends.....I'll forgive you if you wanna end it in an arrow. Try different placements with the hole in your "O" keep working on your "A" edit: this is menat for quadra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 ay imma toy.. yea not proud of it... just needin some guidance, let me know what yall think. (haze) (echo) let me know what ya think...NAZT-419 how long have you been doing this? three days right? you're trying for wayyyyyy too much for a skill level that is painfully in the beginning stages. fancy effects, fillins, 3-d.....all that shit comes later dude. Master your basic simple letters like the rest of these cats THEN try to rock the fancy shit. "BUT I WANNA BE ALL CITY! TONIGHT!" Uhm....no. Look forward to at least a year of sucking ass before pulling off something capable....maybe less if you have some sort of artistic talent. and for the last time......this is a thread for TOYS........someone would have to be a complete asshole to come in here and harp on you guys. That's why this thread is here...so beginners don't post their sketches in other threads and get clowned upon. you're on safe ground here. So.....don't say stupid things like "yo, I be a toy yo" or "yeah yeah, these sketches suck ass!" be like quadra or vare....take pride in your stuff even though it blows for the time being.

quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 there, i modified it a bit. i like it better now. unfortunately i didnt realize to erase that weird thing on the second leg of the M until after i scanned it... so just kind imagine that thing isnt there.... looks better? or do u think the hole in the O should be in the center? cuz i was thinkin it would look a little weird there.

quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 unfinished sketch, bit of a variation on the previous one... still need to even it up and flesh it out a bit, but any comments thus far?? figured i'd give the previous idea a bubble type of thing goin on and see how it looked... im about to fix it up more but figured id post and look for suggestions... edit- maybe i should make the center of the O a downward facing arrow, to even out the arrows a bit?

Jank Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 NaZT my main advice would be to make the letters the same width all the way through each letter. do simple stuff... LENS in all his godlinesss has said it all. gd job m8!!! for a battle on bs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jank Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 maso, i dont like the arrow on the left of the M. or the A. the S O is good but doesnt work with the rest of it. work on makin the other letters simple like that, and dont bother connecting the letters. cut down on the arrows, so no.. dont put one in the O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 thats tight Jank.... cool lookin fish thing... yet another variation on my previous sketch and once again, not yet completed... just throwin it up on here to get some feedback... i think im gonna add a 3D on this one but im not sure.... too many arrows? i think they are subtle enough that it works.

quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 but jaaaank, i like connecting the letters!!!! :( :( :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jank Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 again i like the S. the A aint bad this time but the O dont work. still dont like the arrow on the M. the A becomes hidden by the M-S connector every time. keep sketchin its gettin there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LENS in all his godlinesss has said it all. gd job m8!!! for a battle on bs.. Digging this.......we have good color which is complimentary and eye pleasing but not too ambitious. THe letters are all proportioned well, are even at the base and top and are well on their way to going past simple and into the realm of something more stylized. The fishie is simple but unique and fits into the lettering well so as not to overpower nor is it trying too hard to be "graffiti" Good job on your use of light pink and lbue highlights in all the right places. Kudos for not overdoing'em as well. You're on the right path duder. good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jank Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 haha then go 4 it. stick with wat u like. develop ur shit dont b too dependent on wat wakjobs like me say. if u like it, run wit it. safe edit* thanks lens, as usual top quality crits lol.. cos they were all nice!!! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSE Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 here's a simple i did today in school http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a207/rokaholic/same-simple.jpg the light pencil line running through the letters is the line where i was thinking about adding colors how's it look? My boy writes Same and is about 20 times better than you. I suggest you start somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadra666 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Jank, well the whole point of the connector is its supposed to kindasorta double as the cross of the A once i evolve the style into a way that it will look good like that, but right now yea its a bit weird but i dig it.

Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 quadra....sorry, I modified your thing a little to illustrate what i meant....and yes, it's sloppy because i have no patience for Paint. I breifly fucked with a few elements to show you where to go from here. Arrows should (or at least i think so) be kept tight to your letters as opposed to extending long ass tail off your letters that end in arrows...that's gay. Also, please don't use arrows for the spaces in your letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jank Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 ye i clocked onto that a sec ago lol .bt ye man go wit wat u like... im just sayin wot i wud do but if every1 did wot i wud day every1s shit wud luk like mine. ur on the right track just stay simple. *edit: and BOSE so what? its not like this kid is gonna pose any threat to ur m8 who probly lived a couple bazillion miles away. hell prolly change it anyway. o well if u care u care its all gravy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
