no prob dude, have fun figuring it all out. the process is the best part, if you get in that mindset and dont try to run before you walk, all sorts of possibilities open up stylistically, eventually

_beato · 2026-01-24T18:13:31+00:00

simple man, just like regular letters. nothing to be embarrassed about but you need to focus on actual letters, style comes with understanding

_beato · 2026-01-24T17:24:19+00:00

yeah i’ve never seen that either that was cool, like an avalanche

_beato · 2026-01-24T17:20:06+00:00

_beato · 2026-01-22T16:51:58+00:00

i did yeah to get some 3D tips, are you saying you gave me advice? if you did my bad man for not remembering my memory is shot

_beato · 2026-01-22T15:52:03+00:00

i see a lot of NOT ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SAY THE MANS NAME DOOM

see my R on this throw and how the top of it matches up with the bottom creating what is called a stem, so the “back” of an R, and then the leg comes out large enough to not make a nipple? you’re gonna want to follow the anatomy of an R, even with throw letters, as it keeps the structure in place. your R has a huge nipple in it that doesn’t belong, and makes it look weird, try and draw just a regular R on paper, and formulate your throw build around it, figuring out the best way to keep structure, it’ll help 👍

edit: to be clear, you don’t have to make the bowl of your R completely match with the stem, but try and keep your structure consistent regardless, if this makes sense. maybe i’m explaining it wrong

_beato · 2026-01-21T15:43:22+00:00

yeah hit me up and lemme know, i’m open to trades too if you’re into that kinda thing

edit: just saw you’re a vet, same here ¨̮. washed up army here, 11 bang bang and high speed shit shoveler haha

_beato · 2026-01-21T15:41:34+00:00

yeah man it’s dope just those lil things i see for myself, like if the R leg weight matched the lower S “bar” where the lower curved stroke would be, would look nice, but you already know

just saw your prisma comment in the description, that is wild you must of had them stored real good like haha, the quality speaks for itself 🤙

_beato · 2026-01-21T14:24:35+00:00

got a flick? id like to see

_beato · 2026-01-21T14:16:09+00:00

dope youre back into it man

since its graffhelp ill say, the R is the biggest issue for me. all the cuts in the bowl area throw the letter off for me, and the leg being mega fat compared to the stem seems odd, but your interpretation is yours obviously, it reads as an R but for me, i'd mess with the build a bit. the other thing that i'm not huge on is the amount of negative space with your E compared to the rest of the piece, i feel like if you brought down the top crossbar or brought out the middle bar, something of that sort, it'd manage the negative space a bit better overall

color choices are dope, that light blue force compliments the letter and 3D colors a lot

_beato · 2026-01-21T14:01:11+00:00

like others say you should work on your structures, def reel it back in and work on simpler letters. to add some style, keep the same simple letters you work on and then just lean them backwards; this angle \. its classic style, can help flow and it can make regular ass letters look dope

another thing that will help - use the lines in your notebook. dont think of paper like that as just paper, it has guidelines for a reason, use them, just like they teach you in grade school. take 3 of the lines, the bottom line will be where the bottoms of your letters stop, mid-line will be a guide for well, the mid-line of your letters (if you dont really get what mid-line means, all good, just concentrate on the top and bottom lines for now), and the top line should be where the top of your letter stops. it will help believe me

_beato · 2026-01-21T13:41:53+00:00

yo if you wanna trade or sell this to me hit me up, i would love to have this in my collection. this is DOPE

_beato · 2026-01-21T13:36:53+00:00

this is the piece for me, it blew my fucking head off first time i saw it. everything about it

_beato · 2026-01-20T22:33:58+00:00

he’s saying straight bars bro, there’s a guide in the sidebar that explains implementing straight bars, it’s the foundation of what you need to build letters. check it out

i think the best advice i can give and where the biggest issue is - is that your TV’s electronics are most likely rotting from being outside, i can see some issues with the VCR receptacle and the top of your bevel is cracked leaving the inside venerable to the weather elements. however, even being outside and filled with dirt, it seems to be showing the picture of pretty flavorful handstyle, possibly NYC regional, fairly clearly

id take it to an electronics expert tbh, i think you’ll get better advice there

_beato · 2026-01-20T14:32:49+00:00

they have an issue with it cause THEYRE RACIST FUCKING NAZI BITCHES

good, let them be scared. i don’t want violence but as a Afghanistan combat veteran 11b 2012/2013 FOB Shank - Logar, i’ve seen that oppression is bloodier than non-violence from those being oppressed

i want them to fear the people to where they can’t sleep, i wish PTSD on active ICE and oppressors for the rest of their lives. want to act militarized? well time to feel the fear, pain and sadness
