But what about an L where I only see one of the verticies actually makes contact with a verticies from another bar. And what about the letter T where there it connects at the center of the bar and not any of the verticies? I know I’ve gotta be misunderstanding something but I can’t exactly put my finger on it. Would someone mind clearing that up? He's basically saying that as you're learning the basics of letter structure, aligning each bar in the letter to vetices or a vertex is a best practice. To answer your question about the letters L and T (or X, H, K, and R) - he did point out that there are exceptions to this rule as indicated by the letters I mentioned, including the letters L and T. Your sketch shows that you understand the basics of these letters, and understand his ideas about how to connect the bars in each of those letters. Letters like R and K can get a bit tricky but if you follow the YEP example below you'll be fine. All too often, especially when starting out, folks follow the NOPE example... which is incorrect. I think I've mentioned it before but just imagine you're writing these letters with a chisel-tip pen, and it should make sense to you. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray40 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 @misteraven, we should host a 12 oz prophet event at the graffiti museum in wynwood Miami for like an anniversary or something.

Joker Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 @EkONE23- we can work on 3D at some point, but the letters look good to me! Keep working them and refining them and they'll get even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I rather organize a giant camping trip somewhere out near Glacier. Was meaning to mention... You're among the most prolific new members I've seen in quite a while.

One Man Banned Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Funny sense of nostalgia. One starting/practice point for me was a piece of plywood about that size in the backyard. Pull that tarp behind the left side too, you know you're going to get overspray there eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray40 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 thanks @One Man Banned, I was feeling really shitty today because my siblings were being assholes to me and my mom on a hike and when we got back she took aeay my board for washing the dog wrong, even though it was my sibling s fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 @Ray40- those last two for the win. Both look pretty good to me for someone just starting out. A few thoughts... Do your fill-in and embellishments before you do your final outline. This includes your stars and bubbles. Also, once you're done with your outer outline (example, the yellow outline on the bottom image) go back in with the black and clean up your final outline so that's perfect. Your drop shadow needs some help but overall this is great progress! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray40 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I did the fill but didi the stars and dots afterwards, thanks for the advice @JokerI will use it all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 YES! Much better man. Go big or go home. I like that "Y" in the blue one second to last where its cocked and a little off center. If you would have taken that blue that you made squiggles with on the last piece and did a second forcefield around the yellow, that shit would have popped right off the board. Looking good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElbowMack187 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Ray try doing the whole board with just the 3 letters top to bottom left to right .you'll have a bit more room for your lines . bigger always easyer to cut and a bit easyer to make not drippy. Think about it like penchils and markers for small books . spray paint for bigger things . bucket paint for even bigger things . Also try makeing your letters with the roller its self that way your bar structure are always the same width . just some thoughts to throw around . keep on the grind tho and you'll be surpassing most of us in no time ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
