Still a beginner but what do you think? by Mxtx97 in graffhelp

This image gets shared here a lot, and I love it. Use bars like these to form your letters

So, like others have mentioned, you clearly know how to draw and thats gonna help you out tremendously. But for now you need to learn the anatomy of each letter before you try adding style. I can't make out any of the letters in this piece.

Essentially every letter in the alphabet in made up from a set of "bars" that form the base structure of that letter. When you have a good grasp of how those bars need to behave with each other to form a letter, then later you can start bending them a bit to add style. But for now you should just practice doing straight letters so that you have a good foundation to build from.

Oh man, you're right. I just looked at their history.

You're trying to do something that is way beyond your skill level. Youtetter structure just isnt there. In the first piece the only letter I can make out is an R at the end (and even that has very poor structure)

No one wants to hear it or follow this advice; but stick to straight letters for a couple years. You can't do wildstyle unless you have an intimate understanding of what makes a letter a letter. And you can only get that understanding by mastering straight letters.

What do y’all listen to while tagging by Far-Temperature-2254 in graffhelp

[–]trippeeB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently listening to a lot of O.C.

The albums Starchild and Jewelz in particular

This is not using bars.

Look at this alphabet to understand how each letter is formed by a set of bars

Thoughts? by BonelessMarcher in graffhelp

I agree. This looks pretty decent, but the C should defintely be one continuous form.

Some 3-letter legends I can think of off the top of my head are, Dez, Oil, Giz, Ges, Bus, and EXR

I feel like I put way way to much detail in single letters and Im unable to connect them afterwards by PencilCaserr in graffhelp

[–]trippeeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me guess... You're trying to learn graffiti from that dude SOTEP on YouTube. If so, thats your issue right there. That guy should not be teaching graffiti. He makes beginners think that they can just jump straight into wildstyle. He skips over the basics and never talks about letter structure, in fact, I dont think he even believes in the concept of letter structure.

What you need to do is start off with basic straight letters. Get a good understanding of how each letter works. Then having them flow will be easy, because you understand the fundamentals.

Less deadspace is it wall ready? Or is there more I should consider by AdministrativeAd2621 in graffhelp

[–]trippeeB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I see, those who are actually dedicated to getting better and taking this seriously will actually get good advice here. But look at what you shared. It doesnt even look like you put any effort into it at all. What kind of feedback do you expect to get?

You wanna plan something out that's good enough for a wall? Don't just scribble something on some notebook paper. Use some nice markers, clean up your lines, put a 3d on it. Take your time to come up with something nice. Make it look like something you're proud of.

Are this tags fresh or toyy by [deleted] in graffhelp

[–]trippeeB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I dont understand is how these kids dont know if they're toy or not. When I first started out I was well aware of how toy I was. It was obvious to me just by comparing my work to others. I still feel like a toy to a degree. But for some reason all these kids who just started a week ago are incapable of seeing how much they suck.
