so i get a lot of people asking how do i
do tags properly how do i go about doing
tags now this video isn't going to be
about how to choose your name i'll link
that video in the description because
i've covered that in another video a
video dedicated to how to pick your name
how to think of a name how to create a
name and how to go about all that stuff
in this one we're going to be talking
about style of tag uh how do you start
doing your tag what i'm going to give
you the main focal key point advice i
can give you guys is keep it simple i'm
going to try replicate what it would
look like for a beginner starting off
for example i'm going to use the word
work and i'm just going to write work
the word work um to say my word is work
so just write it down like you would in
your handwriting and then we'll work
from there pun intended so i'm guessing
people do something like this let me
just try to i don't know like that and
then they add all this stuff
at the crown maybe an arrow you don't
want to add all that style
all those extra things to it you just
want to keep it simple so go back to the
basics of just drawing it
as you would
just writing the word down like you'd
write an essay or whatever and you just
want to like stick those letters closer
together like so
just try not to put you know style into
every letter or whatnot i i can't really
replicate
how a beginner would look
i don't know something like that
yeah yeah
whatever
my highest suggestion to work on your
tags is just keep it simple and then
just
smooth them all together you know what i
mean you want to do a one-liner tag like
i do for example it's pretty shitty
because of how the camera is i can't get
my hand around properly you want one
line of things you just do one-liners
you just kind of do
the way i do it is i link all the
letters together which is something
like
this maybe
you know like it looks like they're all
just
together
you know what i mean
it's like work
all together
you know what i mean just keep it simple
i wouldn't even worry about that
in that
you know you just gotta practice and you
gotta keep working upon it just
basically write your graffiti name down
a million times
and you'll eventually find
one of them that you've written down oh
that looks cool and then you just expand
from it
so for example if
let me get another page
i like the fact
that okay just say for example
for example i like how they are looks
you know but i want to
expound on it so i'll draw how i would
draw it again but then
that's when you add
you know something to it like that
or
i mean this is a stupid example but you
know that's this is the example of
putting too much style in one of the
letters that's not going to work out
right so
you know you just work upon it pun
intended again
and you just practice
i'm hoping that video kind of helped you
guys out thank you very much for
watching have a great
day god it was terrible and have a good
one
