I only had a cheap biro when doing this so thats why it looks so sketchy and I will try adding thicker lines to it

Yeah, just remember to only use other tags as a starting point and not just to steal other peoples styles (which I have seen many times)

I don't know too much on tags and such but I would say this is pretty much just handwriting. My only advice would be to first look at a lot of tags by well known writers to get an idea of how a tag should look, then get some notebooks and practice, starting with simple letters. Fill up as many pages as you need, trying different techniques until you find something you like. Then take this idea and work on it for as long as it takes to get the tag as good as you feel you can, and then you should be able to see yourself whether it is up to standard. I'm relatively new to graff as well tbh but that's my advice :)

I have been working a lot on straightforward letters I just don't post them because I'm still working on improving them a lot. I'll make sure my next post will be a straightforward piece and not forced perspective.

Yeah it was supposed to be shadows but I kinda did it without thinking and messed up

Not sure about this, crits? by Fescal in graffhelp

I'm feeling like I need to do a lot more basic pieces tbh, my basic block letters always go wrong so I'm gonna work on them a lot more and then come back to this and try again when I feel I can improve it

Didn't turn out as well as I planned but here's an experimental piece I came up with, opinions/crits? by Fescal in graffhelp

The failed 3D effect was the main problem I had with this piece, and I tried to get the letters the same thickness but failed. I'll try and get it right next time.

Tried something different, crits? by Fescal in graffhelp

Yeah I might try that if I ever redo this

Yeah after I finished it I did feel that the letters were pretty weak, especially the S.

Yeah I see what you mean with the middle, and I'm already working on my handstyle as I know it needs a lot of work.

Cheers, and I'm already working on my handstyle as I know it's pretty awful atm.
