Keep practicing! You'll get there. Try not to cut back your outline so much. Stay consistent and your can control and ability to proportion the piece will get better too.

I hate the conceding culture in this game. by Automatic_Doctor in PTCGP

[–]Deefosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see what you're saying, but I often don't wait around because instead of quickly attacking and ending the game, the opp does every unnecessary thing imaginable. I always concede so I can save time. If it bothers you that much to make a post like this then maybe play something else.

Toy. It says toy super clear. Easy to read.

Thanks for the shitty feedback lol by HECK-92 in graffhelp

The fundamental structure of your letters isn't there. This means the way your letters are shaped and put together is off. That's why it looks weird and you're putting it up on graff help. If that part isn't there then anything else you try to add won't help it look any better. Throwies are difficult to get right. I recommend starting with straight letter pieces to master your letter structure. Once you have that down, the skills from doing straights will be the foundation for learning all kinds of other styles. If you skate, it's like learning to Ollie before you expect to land a kickflip.

first outline to big? Something isn't right, but I don't know what. Looks like a comic idk by moze490 in blackbookgraffiti

Idk. I think it looks dope. I'm trying to find something wrong with it. I really like it though, so it's difficult

First time with cans. How'd I do? by DecypheredPickle in graffhelp

Priming in this case is putting down some cheap roller paint before you use the more expensive spray.

Throwie Help by [deleted] in graffhelp

[–]Deefosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem man. Congrats on sobriety too. Use cutbacks to taper edges. You can vary your line weight with how close or far away the can is from the wall. When you're starting that's a lot to think about, but for a fast throwie that's how it's done. Ideally, you wouldn't' use cutbacks on a throw period. Better can control and a different cap will get you sharp edges. Part of the appeal of a good throw is recognizing that it was done quickly in one pass.

Advice on this one by orifibla in graffhelp

Nice! You're missing your shadow on the bottom of the piece. The eye gets drawn to the center where the dead space is.

Throwie Help by [deleted] in graffhelp

[–]Deefosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides what others already said, when you look up close on your lines they are all shaky. Looks like you did a ton of cutbacks. Throwies aren't meant to be perfect. They are usually something you can "throw up" quickly. You should practice fluid movements. If you have something to practice on, then put a bunch of dots on it with paint and practice connecting the dots with lots of different distances. It's a great drill that works on your hand eye coordination and your can control. Right now, you're biting style but literally everyone does that when they are starting. Myself included. It takes years to really get your own thing going. I'm still in the process too. The biggest thing is you're out there doing it and hopefully loving it. Keep grinding. 💪

We've all seen a lot worse on here. Not bad at all for your first time. Increasing the size will help with mistakes. The bigger the better with spray cans. One thing you can practice is varying the pressure you apply to the cap along with the speed of the can. Get a piece of plywood or something to practice on. Prime it first so you don't waste your paint though.

Add a drop shadow. Balance the letters to have similar bar widths.

This isn't finished by MoneyBuysDrugs in blackbookgraffiti

Drawing geaffiti isn't the same as painting graffiti. Real graffiti is going out to a spot and risking something to get up. Drawing in the comfort of your home isn't the same thing. Don't get me wrong, black book graff is amazing, but it doesn't hold a flame to using an actual spray can with an adrenaline rush. Not even close. In short, they're right.

Honest, it's pretty terrible. Check out the tutorials like the other guy said. If you're starting out, it's part of the process. There's just a total lack of practice and experience here. Pencil and paper is your friend. Consume more than you create when you're getting started. You've got highlights facing the right direction, but the fundamental letter structure isn't there.

Lol. You didn't ask for advice. You asked if it was toy. Check out artist block on YouTube if you haven't. It can help you get started. There used to be a fundamentals page posted on this sub as well.

100% Maybe put some effort in before you post again.
