Use straight lines for awhile, i tried bubbles and shit before structure too, then when i started with the bars i was like "woooaah i didnt know about this, its way easier now". It definately helps to just draw letters from your keyboard, like SONS, then you'll figure it out from there if you just keep drawing and looking on here. Look at stuff other people post, and the crits they get. The same crits go around and around. If at first you dont succeed try again. As for your shadow, just pick a point on your letter, and decide where you want the drop shadow to be (aka, down and to the left). Now redraw that point you picked down and to the left. Now your line is made up of infinity points right? Do this with all infinity points and you will have a shadow (just redraw your letter down and to the left of the original letter, but obviously dont go over the original letter). Curves are difficult, but when it gets tricky just do the point thing. Down this much, left this much.
Note - That's lookin really good, Lovin the 'N' Sons - I'm probably in no position to talk but try and make your letters more proportional. [Broken External Image]:http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/6647/scan0011k.jpg Any crits? I know I shouldn't sketch my throws but other than that,
Don't make the bottom bubble of your B come down so far and avoid crosses in your letters, they look lame.
sons -just work on your letter first 3d isn't important until your letters are ready blue- don't give your letters so much waviness scratch the b cripto throwie battle [Broken External Image]:http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk21/jxpxbx22/102_1840.jpg
if thats old hopefully your handstyle has improved... stay away from edges in your throw soac the top of the s kinda doesnt work for what youre doing but i like the rest old View attachment 581834 View attachment 581835 View attachment 581836 nu View attachment 581837 criticism would be nice
only thing i would say is try to make the letters your own.. there pretty generic letters so try changing them slightly to make them more...your own is all i can say.. your sizing and proportions are pretty even. so youve got that down... and yes my Tag deff changed.. haha.. theres a slightly more updated version i did tonight in the Toy Tagz section...
