Scale is important, speed is important. I know it's a waste of paint but your throwup should be as tall as that board. Color wise - try to stick to very contrasting colors for outline and fill. The bottom left is fine but the green and dark red looks muddy. Think about the majority of throwups you see out there - most of them are white fill with black outline, or black outline with white fill. High contrasting colors work best. Just do the outline, no fill, to conserve paint as you're learning. Edited March 20, 2020 by Joker Added final thought... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray40 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 You were so right @Jokermaking the throw up larger made it way more crisp. Because the other letters were smaller they were not as good but I loved my throw up and my character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkONE23 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Are outlining in your fill color and then filling and then go back outlining with black? Or are you outlining black and trying to color in the lines?.... I ask because your fill looks spotty. Looks you tried to color in the lines. Try making a smooth motion left to right. Moving your arm all the way across each letter in a single motion. This will give you a smooth finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray40 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I am doing the fill first and then the outline. My fill is spotty because I was spraying from far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristo Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Okay so watched a how to piece video from The Artist Block to see if I could learn anything new and in the video Grim states that when constructing a block letter the bars have to connect at the verticies. 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? Edited March 22, 2020 by Aristo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 @Ray40bigger bigger bigger. Im pretty excited about your progress lil homie. Try to fill the whole board up with one piece. Your letters can be 4 feet tall and 32 inches wide each. I always found it easier to go big with letter structure than to build tiny letters. I could never get letter proportion right on a small scale. Keep it up bro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
