    just my opinion Tuke, the left of the t is awkward. its unlike the rest of your letters which are somewhat more blocky. the right side top of the t with the outline continuing through is unique only to that letter too besides the one arrow on your e. Block off the left side, and clean up the outline extension. the fill is fine, but white outlines throughout is difficult to pull off. personally i like my arrows to be pointing level with one plane left and right or up and down in generally the same direction, this is harder then it sounds. the right side of your 3d is heavy with line adds and the left is not... throws the balance off a bit. that looks like a chill spot im assuming so this is awesome for practice. question, is this all stock cap? all that shit being said, this should be more like can control practice then letter structure at this point in my eyes. and youre getting valuable practice. i see no drips and solid fills. some of your lines are "sketch like" and not really a continuous line but im being overly picky here bro. this is a nice spot if it is chill... im jealous man. keep painting!

    Yeah i know, i had it sketched abit differently originally,(ill post the sketch). Done with a NY fatcap and the 94 stock tip (grey dot?). Yes fucked up the white inline because I did them in the wrong order so i couldn't cutback without messing shit up. Spot is a semi famous chill spot in the oldschool scene here

    man, from paper to wall thats good bro... keep going! like i said, this is more can control then structure. the urge to paint is hard to fight when you are not at a comfortable level with your letters. everyone needs a chill spot to kill over and over until you are satisfied with cleanliness. had i seen the sketch with the wall my crits would have been a bit different. i like to do outlines with no fill and then do my fill on the wall. you doin the right thing here. paint paint paint!

    Quickie for chat...

    Tuke thats not bad. I agree with the T being awkward but idk how no one said anything about the K, that is way more awkward. Connect that bar going out the top right to the bar going down. They look way too awkward separated like that and connected to the main vertical bar. It does look better on the wall than it does on the paper though

    Bant that is a funky mashup of a simple/throw, its pretty cool, definitely need to refine it but I like the idea. Tbh that bottom one isnt working too well at all I'd scrap it. The middle one looks the best to me

    the last one is a oneliner...thats why its a tad off, but thank you for the crits. im still a bit awkward with it and it does need more work. im honing in on something i like thats for sure.

    Every piece is going to have weakspots my man. It's criticism to point out what to work on for the next piece in order to progress and do better next time. When its all taken into account it'll build you into a better piecer and a more confident writer

    Noor not bad but def not intermediate. The letters are fine, just work on cleanliness for next time. But that 3d is super fucked up. If its going to the right and downwards, there should be 3D under those letters on the bottom. and the inside of the R is completly wrong (same for the inside of the O's as well), the 3D should be on the vertical bar of the R not the loop, and to the right of that vertical bar. Work on 3d and cleanliness and you'll be alright

    Tuke I got your point, its pretty obvious you clearly aren't going to go back and fix it. No one does that. But posting a painted piece on the internet, youre going to get crits on what is wack. Ill crit sketches and painted shit alike, it doesnt matter if you "already painted it and arent going to go back to fix it", im just giving advice and criticism on the piece. This is especially true for you because the K in the sketch was bad, and you then painted it. That's making the same mistake twice, whether you realized it was bad or not. Me pointing it out is bringing it to your attention that the K wasnt good, cuz that obviously slipped through your review when you were transitioning the sketch to the wall.

    YO! dope tag omlet!

    tuke, just keep painting and improving dude, not gonna give you no captain obvious crits... just keep plugging regularly and you'll be at the level you're after in about a couple years time in my estimation. then it's downhill, style-wise
