I like it I do graffiti myself so I an see how it spells mosama, I think the blue and white work very well which was a good pick of colours I like the glow effect on your tag however to me it doesn't seem to flow vert well I can see what you were going for but your 'S' ,'D' are totally disconnected from the AmA a tag should have flow and be consistent but that's my opinion,

the 3D isn't bad I like that you added highlights but its very sketchy at the end and the bottom of the 3d are uneven which isn't bad I just personally don't like it,

you tried to keep a flow with the letters them self's you did well in making it round top and round bottoms but you base line (the line underneath the letters) is un even which would of work if you applied that semi unevenness to all you letters because your 'O' "S' and first 'A' threw your structure out of proportion, since it seemed you were trying to make your letters go from big to small your 'S' ended up being bigger them your 'M' because of this you couldn't achieve that effect and with the uneven base line this made it worse and with your 3D not finishing evenly or neatly sloped to the write this also made you un ale to achieve the effect your were going for.

but you show a clear what you wanted your letters to work your 'A' were a bit hard to see because they look like upside-down 'V's if you just made it two lines instead of one you would make this a lot more cleaner other then that try to distinguish between a throw up or piece because it seemed like your trying to do both which can get messy other then that you seem to have a grasp of lettering and seem to know what style your trying to get best of luck and continue practising

Huh? this looks dumb

This needs some improvement

That wasn't very constructive D:

Nice blobs

I have to admit these colors were interesting, but I wouldn't consider this graffiti by any means. It's my understanding that graffiti can be difficult to read at times, but this is just ridiculous. I've came across a lot of artwork on Newgrounds, and I've seen a few things were I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at. This is a great example.

Mosama? What does this even say, if anything. If it were me, I would put a lot more time into something to spell out, the message that this art is trying to convey. Maybe you could do your initials or maybe a friend's name you knew who passed away. There is no message here, and without a message, I must ask this question...

What response do you want from this? All I see is a bunch of blobs.

Mosamabindrawin responds:

They arent blobs- it spells 'Mosama'
Graffiti gets WAY MORE difficult to read then this.

Daym newgrounds! I didn't know you guys felt this way about graffiti! Graffiti isnt hard to crit its just ppl hold it to a different standard as other arts.

critting graffiti is hard

first to start out with a positive: your choice in colors and execution of the fill was nicely done, i especially like the highliight lines at the top of your letters.
some things to work on, would have to be formost your letter structure, try to make your letters look more firm and less like blobs, the puffyness of the letters need to be offset with some hard edges and defined bars. Also when you do letters that "squint" to one side it will create the illusion of perspective, when this happens make sure to treat your 3-d accordingly. in this case it should be angled to the right, not the left to make the image jump forward. or if it was to stay to the left it should be more left and less down. these are just a couple things to think about the next time you sit down to do a piece, I would strongly recomend doing font practice you can find thousands for free over at dafont.com copying fonts in graffiti style will be the fastest way to learn the things ive mentioned above...good luck

Mosamabindrawin responds:

Thanks for starting on something positive!
and thanks for the suggestions/advice, except the copying graffiti fonts. If anyone's reading this who's into graffiti- DO NOT copy graffiti fonts if u wanna learn graffiti. That is not how its done and most graffiti fonts are generic.
