Hope u don't mind me commenting even tho it's the battle piece 
Just thought we should all start criticising the hell outta each other's pieces to get better! peace.
- Love the U, B and E, they seem to be the highlight to me, on the other hand H, M and L seems a lil edgy, especially the lower right where the width sorta clumsily increases.
- Lookin at it again tho, I realize it's 3D letterin - but it's hard to tell at the moment. (correct me if i'm wrong) So I'd say shading at the right places would totally work with the current letter structures. Just feel like the grey shading comes and go whenever it feels like it, makin it hard for me to tell what's happenin where..what's poppin out where and stuff..
it's so hard to explain with mere words damn it..anyways, just my opinion

ah but this is that FLOW you were talkin about before. If you look at what you just said, and I don't explain my methods like this where unexperienced people will see it, you noted that you liked the UBE but not the HML. So you liked every second letter but not every first. Nothing clumsy about the width, the style is alternating. Every other letter is one way and every other letter is slightly different. It is how i do letters almost always. And is definitely in interest of flow.
Not that it doesn't have its flaws, and learning is a never ending journey, but I think you missed my intention on this one rather than me missing the mark.

Flow is a very subjective thing so i definitely understand that the way i prefer things to flow would differ from the way someone else does. I realized the alternating styles too, and how i liked every other letter haha.
There's no problem with alternating the style, just thought it could be more obvious if that's what you're going after. Tho of course, each experienced artist have strong beliefs in their style/technique. So unless my comment makes sense to you, feel free to ignore the suggestions.

of course it makes sense to me There is always room for improvement. I think that people tend to get into a habit so criticism is a nice thing to help keep styles fresh and present new ideas.

Definitely so. Like how i've always been afraid out outlining 3D letters in black, lol. After reading comments on my battle sketch of it being 'visually less appealing' and the colors bein boring etc, i searched the net for videos and pics of 3D pieces and finally see why mine's not as appealing visually. Took me a while to digest the fact tho! (kiasu, lol) That battle's done me good! Now honestly, your sketch vs mine, I'd vote for yours too. 
Kinda missed the days when i first started posting, untrained eyes would rate my pieces 10 cuz of the colors and totally disregard some of the most important aspects in graffin, my letter structures especially (good ego boost tho), while the pros would come in and flame the hell outta my sketches leavin me to wonder why. We totally need more mean people in here!

I would have to agree. No better criticiasm than the honest stuff. People like to get pissy when I am blunt with them, but the ones that see through it and take the criticism for what it is end up being great at what they do! I have to say i liked your 3d piece. at least for a 3D piece. I never really got into that stuff for walls though. I think it doesn't keep the street in the art.

I'm all about art, as long as it's not commercialised and i'm not doin it for the money. Personally i love the challenge in doin a 3D piece, and how shading can make things come alive on a flat piece of paper/wall. It's just so fascinating. Anyway, keep posting! Lookin forward to see more stuff from you. Cheers
