Hello Again,

Someone mentioned last time I should keep my letters simpler so I tried it but am still not really happy with my letter structure i know everything else is also shit but my main concern now is learning Blocks. It’s very frustrating for me keeping up and trying to finish something I don’t personally like but am stubborn and I want to learn it, is this kinda approach better ? And I still don’t really understand how everyone makes progress like how much time do u guys put it this might have taken 45mins to sketch and 15 mins to finish. I rushed finishing it cause i really wanted to get it over with I don’t like it all but this is my daily sketch. I also Tag 2-3 Pages A4 a day

Possible idea to improve is making fotos of the graffiti’s I like and trying to copy there main blocks and trying to fit them on other letters.

Hi guys,

I have some questions

Do u guys have some good videos, for Drop Shadows 3D Blocks and structure of letter how I can improve sizing them.

Sketch 1#SAF
I think the drop shadow as some errors I don’t really know where I originally planned to try do it in 3D but i don’t really know how to do it correctly

How I did it.

I started sketching the S and then tried to fill in the negative spots of the S and the A so they fit in correctly.

Selfcritic
The piece is very unsymmetrical the blocks don’t add up but overall I would say I improved a lil bit.
I don’t really know how letters can have the same style I think the S and F fit quite good but the A seems out of place. The little blocks between the letters were a mistake I should not do it next time.

I tried to study this week with singular letters and this is the first ended peace of the weak.

Sketch 2# Goti

How can I highlight my sketch without ruining it?

Was the green highlight outline any good or does it ruin the piece ?

Self Critic:

The structure of the letter are kinda okey, I think the I, is slightly more thick then the G, I ruined the eye with the highlights, overall I don’t know if it looks good that i tried to outline the Letters in the sketch itself. I DONT FUCKING KNOW HOW TO BARCODE Shit looks horrendous maybe I should keep it even simpler overall the 3D effect is not good at all. And the smearing on the bottom is to puke.

Sketch 2# Sion

I kinda like the structure of the letters and overall design but maybe it’s too much if it is too much do u guys have like a rule I can apply to not to over do it?

And I would like not to ruin the Sketch when I color it do u guys have tips and tricks how should I start outlining should I try different thickness of outlines or use one cause more outlines variety = more errors ?

Overall should I try fancy new stuff or try getting the basics first (am learning them) ?

Self Critic:

The details are maybe too much I think the letter have not the same size example I think the N is way Thinner then the S. Overall it’s funny how the S and I fit quite good with each other the O N too but together it’s like there not fitting with at all.

Open for suggestions
