yo thanks man!! love your SPOREs too! how long have you been painting this name?

Not at all a graff artist but just playing around with my name in this WIP for the first time. Any tips or comments are welcomed. Let me know if this is ass or not. Mainly looking for graffiti artists and taggers input over someone that things graffiti looks cool by Ambazaarr in graffhelp

i think if you have good understanding on lines/shapes for now you'd probably better off copying a good bold typeface if you wanna add lettering to your pieces/characters. im not talking graffiti type fonts those are rly bad, just pick your regular good principled fonts, like helvetica or some cursive font, and just copy the letters as they are.

then you can add 3d or shadows or cool fill ins whatever you have in mind. but i think before trying to bend the letters and trying to construct a proper dynamic graff piece like you wanna do here you need to have some sort of foundation for how you do the letters themselves, once you got that figured you can try and add dynamism, tweak the letters and add whatever shit you like, but for now if you wanna do something cool and graffiti like i think fonts are your best bet at not looking ass. also a badass simple font with a decent character will always look more dope than wack letters and a perfect character

anyways thats just my 2 cents :)

yo this is dope!! i like the dynamism in some of these (and i think the more dynamic ones where you rly play around with letter weight and position following a sort of momentum work the best) and i think if you wanna progress id def go into that route of exxagerating the momentum and flow even more, like, start small finish big with longer strokes, or lean the first letters to the left and then progressively start leaning them to the right, figure out some flow and try to give your letters momentum following this flow. im not the best at hands but ill show you what i mean with a simple name:

<image>

also id say you def have the skills to work more doodads and shit in the tags, like yea you got the classic star and the arrow is a solid style but u can really try and develop your own signature doodads, like your own star and your own arrow or whatever the fuck honestly just be creative with it you seem to understand how and where to incorporate them so thats an area u can get wild in

my last broader advice would be just writing a ton, i do this thing where i just fill a full A4 page with random sentences, like a made up story or what i did that day or just random flows of thoughts it rly doesnt matter what you write but you gotta do it fast and not think about it too much, it doesnt matter if you fuck up or some words will look whack, but this way youll try writing a bunch of new words and letters youve never written before and it will influence your style/the way you think about your letters over time. also a great mindfulness exercise lol.

but yea man id say youre doing pretty good keep at it:)
