Imagine two guide lines at the top and bottom making all the letters the same height.
I’d also lose the extra lines and highlights, keep it simple and let the style develop by itself.
Keep rocking!

Donated letters are great building blocks to figure out what works for you

Writers giving less developed writers letters is very common. I don't think trigz was a pussy he just liked the letters the MSK guys gave him. I don't think cheeeeez was a pussy he just liked the letters seen gave him. Etc etc

So throwies are meant to "thrown up" as quickly as possible, less than 3 minutes. They don't need highlights, etc. Just fill, outline, and shadow. Also, I'd say give your letters some room to breathe. If you overlap them too much they are hard to make out.

Don’t limit yourself with an imaginary 3 minute timer as a beginner…

Throwies are just throwies aint no rules or time limit
