* BUMP * Look... here is what you should be doing...

See how simple that is?

 

If you can't master doing your name in clean, simple letters like this, you should stop now.

 

This is the basis of all letterforms and it's how you master the letters and become good.

 

If you keep doing the same thing over and over, YOU WILL NOT GET ANY BETTER.

 

I know it sounds harsh but it's true.

 

I'm not trying to be a dick. It really is constructive criticism.

 

This goes for so many of you in here.

 

Why this simple concept evades so many of you is beyond me. * BUMP *

yeah..you guesses..another bump...your getting pissed off right..

Okay..

 

NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY IN HERE...AT ALL...ALSO...NO BEEEF...

 

Okay...i been here for a few weeks now...and from what i see in this thread...its all talk tbh...and hardly any flicks...and when there is flicks...they get overlooked by pointless chat...and i think that a minority of ppl here need to also go simple..exception of bounce..bonez..9 rides..mosoe..they are the only ones i can think off my head..but noone never really gives any one harsh consturctive crits neither...its just...do you cula better...or...you 3d is wrong...use a vanishing point..

 

which every one knows...you dont get better by pointing out the weak crits...

 

and i know...cuz from BS ... i got pushed and pushed and pushed to do simples with no color..nothing..just letters...and once id got letters down...i startd using colour etc...and then i played with addons...and that the stage im at now..and thats what i think the majority of the ppl here should do ( with the exceptions off the ppl i named off my head ) ... becauase its the way too go...i never fort it was..but it seriously is..

 

this is my shit from when i wudnt listen to anybody about simples..

Craze.jpg

 

i had karaks in the middle and everything..

and came to doing this

just take a look at how much better they look.. ^^ .. nice and crisp...with kinda funky leters...no karaks in the middle..no crazy addons..no crazy colorus...no nothing...just 2 culas..one karak...and letters..

 

SIMPLES AND HARD CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIZISM IS THE WAY FORWARD.. !!!!!

 

I KNOW..

 

LISTEN TO ME OR DONT...I REALLY COUDLNT CARE LESS...

 

But at the end of the day..from my experience...simples are the way to go..and you also get waaaaaaaaaaay more credit for them...

 

dont get me wrong and dont think that im acting the BIG I AM...I KNOW EVERYTHING..WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE etc.

 

but like i say..from my expericances .. i know what is true..

 

SIMPLES

 

And in 20 years time...writer still do simples..all the time...you should be able to rock a good clean simple .. or you wont be able to rock anything

 

 

JUST FUCKING READ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yes... and I'd like to add this:

 

WRITERS DEVELOP A SET OF LETTERS LIKE THEIR OWN PRIVATE FONT.

 

I know, you THINK writers do each set of letters differently! THEY DON'T! They have a carefully constructed and practiced set of letters they have developed for years and refined and reworked. Each time, they may fill differently and use connections and extensions and bits differently, but the core letters are the same each time.

 

THAT is why simples are so important. You start with a base letter set. SIMPLE letters. Practice that over and over and over and over until you KNOW it inside and out. THEN you start refining it. Maybe lean the letters a little. Start working in extensions. Eventually, you have morphed your original letters, OVER TIME, into a wildstyle.

 

BUT YOU STILL DRAW THE LETTERS THE SAME.

 

Before you start to disagree, understand that some writers have MORE THAN ONE SET OF LETTERS. AND some writers do the wildstyle version and then later do the simple version of the same letters so as a result the two pieces look dramatically different.

 

I do my "S" the same every time, but I make minor changes to it in each piece. Still the construction of it remains the same.

 

Look at this COPE2 piece:

http://graffmuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/03/Cope2%202line%201997.jpg

 

Then look at this one:

http://www.streetsaresayingthings.com/sgallery/albums/userpics/10787/normal_COPE2%20FRANCE%20.jpg

 

In each of these pieces, while they look very different, the letters are actually THE SAME.

 

They have the same types of curves and style in the same places. One has extensions so it helps make the two look different.

 

Really, if you follow this advice and put this idea into practice, you will start to succeed. So many toys don't understand this and wonder why they don't get better.

 

Big up to MITH for his pointers but this has to be mentioned again and again.
