Toys post here...

[Virtue]

thanks for the tip!

 

Just keep at the simples, man. You can even look through your cupboards, and look at labels; try to base your letters off of what you see on a certain label. As long as they are straight letters, and you use bars if you need to, then you're making progress. Practice shadowing, line structure, etc; just hone everything down, sketch, after sketch, after sketch. That's what I'm doing, because that's what Animal, Freak, and all of the other wise-men in this thread suggested to me, and it's working! :)

 

You'll get there, man; it just takes time. Keep at it; simples are the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

Oh, and Animal has a great idea about trying to talk to some locals for some tips. Other than that, admire any good work that you see in person, and don't fight the influence (don't bite their style though).

You're welcome. Just post up what you throw down. You don't have to post up every sketch, but the ones that you would like crits on, post them up! Practice makes perfect, and crits help you bang out the kinks.

Here's one that I did not too long ago; I was tinkering around with some new style; it's not technically a simple, but I wanted to try something new for a sketch or two. I couldn't figure out the shadow on it (I know, I know), and some of the lines are a tad shaky.

 

 

Crits, please. Thanks, guys! :D

[redeyedanimal]

that is technically a simple. no extensions, simple structure. I dig it. Progress that idea, draw it over and over and over and see how it changes.

[freakeenyc]

word im feelin it 2.

[Noam Chomsky]

^ reminds me of rime, anybody?

[Noam Chomsky]

And on the critical note. it looks good, but try to make your bars more even.

Really? I thought simples were only straights and keyboards? Good to know! Oh, and thanks, bro! I'm going to fiddle around with it over the next couple of days and see if I can get some new ideas out of it.

Thanks, Freak!

Thanks, Noam! Yeah, my bars are a bit off; I just busted it out, ha ha. I put on some music, and just went with it. I'll be working on the bars as I fiddle with it though. Thanks, again!

simples are anything that is of simple construction. no extensions, fast execution, quick and easy.

simples can be oozing with style though, don't think simples are block letters only.

 

i'll post up some stuff here in a few, some simples and a piece in progress...

def stolen from rime bro

[freakeenyc]

i dunno..i just peepd a bunch of rime stuff..and his simple is similar..but it looks different enough..plus its a simple...

[Virtue]

It was influenced by Rime, but I didn't hard-copy it, if that's what you mean, Saltine. I did that sketch about a month ago, and I'll never paint it due to the fact that it was influenced. I just went with the inspiration.

[iTz PaYBacK]

why do you kids create a facebook page for your "graffiti" if you know you're a toy...

[Joner11]

^^^ theres no reason to hate man

[..romero..]

meh.

 

[Joner11]

Alright number one its not a facebook page, number two i created it so i could enhance my connections in the graff world and to get critiqued to get better. I didnt know wanting to get better at graffiti was a crime?
