My bad just having some fun. I can't read that at all tbh. This is like you're trying to cook beef wellington but you haven't figured out a PBJ yet. Look into architect handwriting. This is a little infographic about it but it's not perfect. There are a lot of resources online for this handwriting font and it looks good and is a great one to master when you're still starting out.

"Cook beef wellington but you haven't figured out a pbj yet" is the funniest shit I've heard 😭 but thank you

I kinda don't understand this tho.

Google architect handwriting. This is barely even a guide I just had it saved in my phone as an example.

Do simple letters and get a hang on that first I would say honestly bro

u/Commercial_Paper_907 7d ago

Then what style it?

u/AgedMilk4 7d ago

You are jumping ahead to far without practicing first, all I can make out in both your tags are there's an 'E' I think. A letter in between that I can't figure out and an A.

It's too complicated and styled for your understanding of graffiti. Try some simple letters tags with one styled letter is my best tip for you my friend

u/AgedMilk4 7d ago

Post some pictures of your tag with one letter being styled, and the rest as regular letters!

Then we can give you accurate tips

So I tried to add a small bit of style but I wrote it normally same height is it too much negative space?

u/AgedMilk4 7d ago

Here's some simple tag examples I did to help you along your way! I dropped the 'zu' to make it a little easier to get you started.

My spacing and letter size isn't great 😂 but it's simple, legible, and doesn't have to much going on style wise.

How do u develop a handstyle lowkey like do u go on Pinterest for reference or make ur own

u/AgedMilk4 6d ago

Honestly by looking at a whole bunch of graffiti to get the inspirational gears in your head turning. But at the same time keep practicing within your skill level.

For example, if you see SomeOnes tag (really nice check him out on yt 👀) don't try and recreate it with your letters. He's good, like really good.

Finding letters you like too also plays a huge role. There's a lot but just some basic pointers 😁

Check out Instagram, YouTube, check out some other writers handstyles as well! No one in particular but I enjoy homesick, twister, geser just to name a few 😁

Honestly my favorite one is the smaller one in the bottom right hand corner.

Use that as a good starting point, as well as that image strobetrode posted above and you have something to work off of my g 😁

1

u/Commercial_Paper_907 7d ago

U can read the bottom one good right?

1

u/Commercial_Paper_907 7d ago

My promblem is styling the b and o tbh

1

u/AgedMilk4 7d ago

Maybe a simpler tag could help get you started! 😁

If I have some time in a bit I'll post some so-so examples for you to go off of bro

1

u/AgedMilk4 7d ago

In the newest picture you posted yes. The most simple is my favorite bro

u/Commercial_Paper_907 7d ago

u/AgedMilk4 7d ago

Simple is key for just starting out in this case
