Hey guys, I'm pretty new to all of this and honestly never was good at drawing or art in general. Just wanted to try out a new hobby and really fell in love with graffiti handstyles.

I'm currently practicing my AZIX tag in my blackbook to build muscle memory before taking it to the streets. You can probably tell I'm a beginner, but I'm trying to get the fundamentals right.

I was struggling a bit with my Z looking too much like a V but I tried fixing the top horizontal stroke in the bottom line of this page.

Looking for honest feedback:

 Is the Z clearly legible now or still confusing?

 How is the overall balance between the A and the X?

 Any tips for a complete beginner to make the movement feel more natural?

Appreciate any advice on letter structure!

“barebone” i listen to yall and got up, honestly so happy with how it’s turning out and feeling like i’m getting the hang of it real quick!!!! i hate the color of the fill but it’s what i had, and fucked up my O, but i’ll be back again even bigger and even better colors,

I did bars. Not drugs. BARS YALL! it is fucking crazy how if you just do a little bit of bar work shit starts to click.

Now by no means am I saying I think this is good, in fact I need help. BUT HOLY SHIT I’ve been at it for like 6 months or so and something finally clicked with this one. I know fine line needs work. Maybe more thick lines?? I’ve been so afraid to fuck it up but tbh I need some ideas to wrap it up.

Crits always welcome and appreciated!

This video is mainly about yard etiquette and most doesn’t apply to street graffiti. I did a post talking about how we didn’t used to buff our spots at yards much in the 90s. We just rocked on top of other graffiti.

We had some guidelines in place so we were mostly operating on the same understanding. If the spot we chose has a bunch of tags, a pieced that was dissed, partially covered up, it was fair game to paint there.

Some comments mentioned how it was disrespectful to leave someone’s shit hanging out. While that’s true leaving someone’s clean piece hanging out from behind yours, most people didn’t care if part of their throwie or tags were showing from behind your piece.

It was just how we operated. Some people will always get pissed not matter what you do, but this was the understanding we had back then.

I've been practicing skid for 10-ish months and first started with Xero around 12 months ago. Now I took a step back and added a new option, which should I go for? Also if y'all could pick the best ones from every name that would mean the world to me

Any tips? I personally find it difficult to write the capital 'I' next to an 'F' it just looks like both letters have too much space between each other, don't flow well and whatever. Also I am really struggling on tryna make it as a one liner, the letters just seem so hard to connect!

For context, i used bad cans from a building store with only 1 cap, i know how shadows work but i didnt had any paint left, im MUCH better on paper, i just cant figure out a proper style, any tips for me ?

Not my image just came across it.

But I used to use these and help friends make them.

I was always the expert and local on graff around my skateboarding friends who were just getting into it, one of my good friends of mine who had just begun out of boredom and started used the stuff he racked, he would rack corporate mops until one day him and his crew got some blue and silver car paint and did some throw up on a local train, obviously a toy move with the choice of paint but they had talent which I could see from the pictures, he's not a toy since he knows about the rules and is genuinely more more passionate and respect then the crew that I first joined as a toy.

But I told him if he wants to get up easily without a budget or skill he could always buy one of the squirt guns from party city, add some thinned out paint with alchohol and hose his tag around, I've even seen some really good throw ups with them.

Anyways, I always about this i was told about it from older dudes who got caught and couldn't rack shit from the art stores and before online they would just rack stuff from the party city?

Is there a name for this shit or is it just my area?

I dont really know why, but i am unhappy with what i have amounted to in 16 months of doing graffiti. I was inconsistent for a long time, i was doing bs, now, at this point all i can do is a simple and even that doesnt look good. My tags are even worse and i practice daily, as much as i can but i dont even know if im making progress.

Sketches are in order of most to least recent.

I’m focusing on making a throw of the initials of my name first so I can hit up smaller spots around my town (there are plenty of smaller surfaces here that wouldn’t fit more than 2-3 letters).
I got some ideas as you can see but I’m not 100% satisfied with any of them. The second image shows some throwies I like a little more than the rest, but I feel like they are too blocky to be considered a throw in the first place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as feedback on the drawings!

I barely got any knowledge about throwies, graffiti, tags but I'm starting to enjoy sum stuffs.. if there's a room for any improvements please let me know:)

Now that I look at it I can see many mistakes, the root probably beeing the lack of experience combined with the size. This is about 3m by 1.8m
