if you have the basics down you should be able to drop a tag. there aren't any rules for your handstyle. it should be yours. just do what you think looks good.

When he said 'do a tag' i assumed handstyle, since you dont 'do' your tag if you come up with it.

Its all practice, making it flow, andafter you get that, practice it til your hand falls off

"GRAFFITI IS AN ART, AND IF ART IS A CRIME, HOW COME PICASSO NEVER DONE TIME"

Cavemen did it, so did Romans and Egyptians. The Incas did
it, so did Greeks and Native Americans. There was graffiti on the
New York subway a year after it was built. There`s graffiti on the
moon. If graffiti is vandalism, and vandalism is graffiti, then man
has left his mark with garbage at the farthest reaches of the
universe. So you with your pathetic desire to be remembered are in
good company. I could spend a ream of paper telling you about the
development of modern graffiti, but we`ve got other ground to cover.
It`s important that you know it, so ask your local expert (or DJ
Deadly Budda in Pittsburg if you don`t have one) and he`ll tell you
his version.

are we talking paint or paper?

either way you're handstyle is gonna be different when you paint as opposed to when you blackbook.

ummm.. no, you have to actually develop the letters and think of them before you write them, you cant just make it up one time and thats it, i can write a word really quick in school handwriting 249 times but it would be wack if its a wrod straight of without practasing the letters before hand.. hard to explain..

^ that post was half joke and half truth...
the faster you write a word comfortably, the more your personal, subconscious handstyle will show through in it... writing a word as fast as you can a whole lot can help you develop connections between letters as well as general writing proficiency

If you spent the time to make it look good, its worth it. So dont tag if it looks like crap.
