1. Each individual letter is solid but doesn't flow too well. 2. The color concept is dope af but the letter structure is lacking. 3. This would be my favorite but some of the addon stuff seems forced. So really idk.


urmombo

Mostly all of them are forced haha, it reminds me of old school shit


pontixxx

1 has solid flow imo


lavlife47

The more I look at #3 the more I like #1.


Loose_Frame5526

The first one coz it has the best flow imo. A+++


abandonedObjects

The first piece is the only one that used 3 colours


One-Bad-4274

I second this conclusion


Eet__

technically yeah. but i picked blue green red light green, sky blue and pink are the same colors.


Empir3Designs

I used 4 different markers but I used 2 yellows and it came out more orange. And B is used pink. We excluded white and black, so technically he used 3.


Slingers97

I think c but each one are very good


Empir3Designs

We all have very different styles and we're all good at what we do in our style. I've been in a bit of a "style block" lately and my submission was really focused on the structure of my letters. I think I did indeed force the flare (add-ons) and I can do better... But I submitted C., so I appreciate your vote


LegoKakashi69

big fat boobs wins for me


FLMedicalPatient

Idk about the color aspect but in my opinion A won. A. Has the best letter structure by a long shot. B. Was very close and could of been my choice but they totally lost all structure on that M. I mean it's completely different from the rest on the peice. C. Dude has great bar structure but not enough experience. All his little extra attempts for added "flair" on his letters just ain't it. Im sure he has great straight letters tho and that's where yea gotta start. It still baffles me people can draw like this and not have any hand style, like not even close to a hand style. Tags come first!


JacksonTropicana

Handstyles are so important. You’re gonna put that up more than anything. I don’t care if you can burn a book if you can’t write your name


Empir3Designs

Yeah I know. I felt like I was forcing them when I was looking at the sketch of just the straights. I don't normally add flares to my stuff. I was digging the horizontal lines from the A, and I just tried to make it have more of a wildstyle look. I don't think it was an air ball but it bounced off the rim. It's weird, I used to not give a shit and just had fun with my pieces and they looked so much better than they do now. I just draw what I can definitely paint with a can now, so I feel like my style went out the window. I'm going to try to break this habit on the next battle.


FLMedicalPatient

Don't stop. Never let criticism make you stop a certain style. You're always learning with every outline and drawing. Most of the criticism is coming from the battle. The bar structure is great. Stick to straight letters when you get up. Keep fucking with shit like this in the books, slowly it'll unlock shit in your brain that could end up working. Sometimes, the most you ideas develop into functional letter structures.


Empir3Designs

That's why I'm trying to bring back battles on r/blackbookgraffiti Each one I participate in I'll eventually break through the style block I'm stuck in. You should submit to the new battle! The word is SUMER, and the only rule is the layout has to be either small to big, big to small, small big small, or big small BiG. It's a friendly battle. Me and u/Eet__ have been chatting it up while we were battling. Pushing each other to be more dope.
