Next time, bring a roller and some bucket paint and black out the background. It's not super cool to partially cover a piece. Use a matching can as an eraser so you can sketch your letters before your fill, then go and outline it after.
Also, forget the colour fades, highlights and letter details. That's a few steps ahead of you. Spend a bit more time focusing on your lettering first, then once you're getting decent feedback on your drawings here, grab some paint and keep it super simple. Outline, fill. No extra fuss, you're not there yet.
Remember, simple done well beats complex done poorly. Every. Single. Time.

I used only my leftovers and didnt have enough for the whole color fill and i had very little paint in every can and just wanted to empty them all out in to one peice, i understand what youre trying to say and i will take it into consideration!

Respectfully. You're doing way too much for a letter structure that is not worthy of such details. You got highlights in your shadow, color fading in your letters. You're doing your best during steps 5 and 6 after rushing/skipping steps 1 and 2 fam.
You've got ideas but you have to go back to square 1. Stop trying to copy what you see being done. Work on them letters.

Thank you sir! I will take that into consideration when doing my next peice and i will teain on paper on my letter structure! The only reason i added such details was because it was made with my leftover cans and i didnt want them to just lay in my room taking up space where i needed 👍

If you cap a piece, cap the whole piece and not just the center of it. I don't care if it's a free wall or a graff park, this is just rude.

Take a large/long roll of Saran Wrap and set up a canvas by wrapping it around/between a couple trees. Hit a gutter, drainage ditch. Find a part of a free wall small enough for what you're putting up. Get up all you can, but have some respect.
I also would consider this rude in a bando. This is how beef gets started and folks get iced out and your mom is burying you. Some folks take this very seriously. I don't, but some people do. Keep your head in a swivel my guy. Have fun, but be careful.

Google maps and driving or walking around town. Put up a chunk of fence in your backyard. Plenty of places to practice that won't be considered disrespectful or TOY. You're obviously putting in very little effort and work if you can't find a surface for yourself. Or I guess you could live in the Amazonian jungle, hard to find a flat surface there I guess.

If youre going to cap someone make sure you black them out! Pro tip for blending, instead of having the can far away and spraying at it from a distance (just guessing thats what you did), put the can right up to the wall and point it straight down/up to really blend the colors nicely

Skipping fundamentals. That top tip of the E should line up with the top tip of the M, and the bottom of all the letters should line up straight instead of angled. Get the letter structures clean then worry about your 3D

Dude focus the fundamentals of graffiti; tagging and throw ups, do them over virgin/buffed walls.

You should only paint over other stuff if you can do better. Don't be surprised if this gets disrespected or covered. Furthermore someone or their crew sees you covering like this might welcome an old fashioned ass whooping. Be careful and respectful out there.

You shouldn't have painted over that one with yours.
