How’s it looking? I’ve been trying to get clean, funky throwie for a while, and I think I’m finally on the last 5-10 laps

I’ve been having such a bitch of a week working out the K metrics so it has a flow with the rest of the letters, and I just added that top serif to the As for the first time here to fit the back foot of this new K a little bit. I think that hits now that I see it, it parries off the Ns nicely too.

I’ll start studying drop shadows/3d soon enough lol

Letters looked good on the mockup so I ran with it

Maybe the K is a little underweight, but I’m pretty proud of it after about two months of studying

Crits, what’s working what’s not?

I got this massive 20mm OnTheRun marker, it’s hilarious.

Howdy folks, I got some candy markers today

Lurker

Been wanting a purple pen for a while, this lavender looked good enough👍

I’m not that good, but I don’t think I’m that bad anymore either

Steady books for over 40 days straight, 6 1/2 legal pads of studies.

I need some more line control, and maybe some thinner markers. All I have are brush tips.

Thanks for the continued help and guidance, I look forward to your opinions

My practice today

I like writing leftout in mirror a lot because the last four letters are a symmetrical flip, but I worry the L looks like a J without its top bar. Do the rest of the turned letters make it readable as leftout? Could I do anything to define it more?

Going back to leftout

My plans had other plans to see, and now those hands have plans for me

Just goofin… new boot goofin! 🕺🏿 👢

Make em laugh. Kept it simple and straight.

I think making all the vowels sit on the crossbars works, but I don’t know shit apparently, I’ll leave it up to the community. Keep going or go elsewhere?

First no pencils attempt, fuck it. It’s my birthday, gotta evolve

Got some markers for my birthday, finally going to start using colors…. Guess I have some videos to watch and learn because I just kinda Frankensteined this together. I need some direction.

Side note: I am definitely going to use that magnifying trick that I see happened in the upper some other time

Criticals?

I’m probably writing too fast, whatever. I have been studying letter tolerance thresholds and I hope it’s paying off, probably going to move away from PAJO and start writing this.

I kinda like the jank of that middle one.

Day 30 crits

Worked on a throwie, enlarged it and sent the letters off to Neverland on another sheet

Day 26 Final exam… first finished piece.

I took everything I tried to learn

Steel I-beams, bent and screwed together, with pee and blood and snow and another fucked up J…

Last post for 1 whole week🫡👍

Did I pass?
