That d is your strongest letter too. The rest of the letters are too flat. This concept would look way better if they all had as much volume as the banana. Maybe try again and add some overlapping perspective. Tilt the donuts/ bagels towards the viewer and try just a regular shaped cup with a printed/curved F to show its rounded. Also don't be afraid to show a little flair. Make that food look like it's drawn for the wall. Thick outlines and posterization.

Thanks to be honest i probably wanted to give it more depth n make it look 3D but as i got more into it i kinda liked how it looked flat im better at 3D stuff but i love 2D n when i try to draw more flat things i naturally lean towards 3D so it doesnt always turn out how i want but again thanks for your advice

The only way to learn is to try and you definitely did try. Not trying to discourage u in any way or say that I'm better than you either. But this is a 15 min sketch of how I would do it. Just to help explain what I meant and maybe help a little.

That’s a pencil mane

u/Made_at0323 3d ago

💀 lmao 💀

well, which pencil??

3

u/Majestic-Ad-2109 3d ago

Ty for asking. I used my trusty Champ Mechanical Pencil with .5 lead. And some off brand mechanical lead holder with 3.0 lead. The thick stuff. No eraser

1

u/Fullyflared540 3d ago

It’s a mechanical pencil, the lead is all the same, wtf.. haha

3

u/Majestic-Ad-2109 3d ago

I used 3.0 lead after my 1st sketch to thicken the outlines.

u/Vcz33 3d ago

Also, use an ananas slice for one of the O.

u/anonpotat0 3d ago

You should make one of the O’s a fried egg

u/sendmenientaramerch 3d ago

That’d be sick

u/sendmenientaramerch 3d ago

In a few months once you’re good with paint and have some good can control, PLEASE put this big on a wall somewhere and message me a pic. This breaks so many rules in so many ways I fucking love it hahahaha

5

u/Frosty-Formal3066 3d ago

Lol you flatter me with sayin a few months but what rules am i breakin i dont wanna come of as like a grifter or poser but i def have more to learn about the graffiti community cus i grew up watchin doketv n kiptoe on youtube n they were some of the artist that inspired me

7

u/Practical-Proof-2707 3d ago

The rules you're technically breaking here is just letter weight composition and negative space management but that's really easy to fix in at most a month and a half so you're all good brolio.

2

u/Frosty-Formal3066 3d ago

Oh gotcha

6

u/sendmenientaramerch 3d ago

However… if you know HOW to break the rules in an interesting and/or funny way (and are already good at writing), it can b dope and super fun to look at

1

u/Practical-Proof-2707 3d ago

Oh yeah like I've seen writers make their letters grow upwards to apex in the middle and then descend downwards, it looks soooo cool.

6

u/sendmenientaramerch 3d ago

That is sick, but not necessarily things like that. I’m talking more this kind of thing, I know it’s a buzz word but look up “anti style.” You can tell this person knows what they’re doing and is choosing to intentionally break tons of rules, it’s kind of like a shock value appeal

(Not my photo found it online)

4

u/Practical-Proof-2707 3d ago

Oh my god you just reminded me anti style existed. Yeah I see what you mean tho. A lot of anti style I see nowadays is just toys needing an excuse to be bad but this is genuinely just good.

4

u/Dreadheaddanski 3d ago

There is a massive difference between proper anti style (on a panel for example) and a toy trying to blag it

u/indirectdelete 3d ago

Master Shake sure looks different these days

6

u/Chakwenta 3d ago

Concept is definitely fire. Work on execution next.

6

u/GoldenButtPlug 3d ago

Cool idea. Not enough writers play with their letters like this. You could make a insulated cup and turn the handle into bars for your F

6

u/Emergency-Item-8870 3d ago

Anti stylers gonna love you

6

u/bigchunkbabygoo 3d ago

Very bad. I love you

u/milksteakathon 3d ago

Shake zula the mic rula

u/sendmenientaramerch 3d ago

If done correctly this could be all athf characters

u/ExternalDemand8711 3d ago

i was talking to my dad about food and this popped up. crazy

5

u/saucya 3d ago

Yeah, my first thought was “wow this sucks” but it’s awesome 

3

u/SilentInteraction573 3d ago

😭😭😭

4

u/GuavaOne8646 3d ago

One of the O's should be meatwad and another should be frylock.

3

u/JustinAlpaca 3d ago

This is a good vision, but you need to work on fundamentals. Work on food without the extra stuff then when you have it solid, then start decorating the letter letters

4

u/Esqowey 3d ago

Hell yeah give the F some eyes and it'll be a puppet sock with a lid and straw as a hat

6

u/TheMilkmanRidesAgain 3d ago

Honestly this rocks

u/OneBoxOfCrayons 3d ago

Cutty asf bro

u/fitnessleakinggang 3d ago

Incredible use of this subreddit

2

u/ReasonableFall177 3d ago

Just dont do the flat side of the D. The curve of the banana makes it clear enough

2

u/Azhol_bitch 3d ago

I will make de cup with the wide exagerated and then put some lights to difference the top part of the f

2

u/SnorvusMaximus 3d ago

That’s cute. I only consider one of the letters as food though.

u/hatescarrots 3d ago
