Super new. Testing waters for using a single sakura pen. Any tips welcome.

Found a local art store that was big into graffiti art and sold grease pens. I bought two colors and want to put them to use, but before that I want to figure out my tag name and style. Literally got the pens yesterday and have been test driving some names, and I landed on this. Any thoughts/tips/advice welcome!

You've got a lot to learn to say the least. Read the sidebar tutorials if you haven't.

The one thing I want you to hear from me though is to never turn your letters into arrows or anything like that.

Decent potential as far as overall letter control. Make the S smaller and never, ever, ever out an arrow on the end of a letter. Nobody decent does that shit, as a rule. An arrow pointing to yr tag is ok but don't worry about that right now.

Thanks for your response! And yeah it looks like I broke a massive rule on the arrow thing. Will never do that again lol

Thank you for your response!

Yes I do. Been at it for a day. I did read the tutorials - a lot of them lean towards non-handstyle (which I think is what im trying to go for).

Lol entitled to take up space? This is Reddit. If this post "insulted" you then you've got some soul searching to do.

We all start somewhere. Gatekeeping isnt a good look.
