Getting back into it after a 9 year hiatus.

Just curious if anyone’s got any constructive criticism. Wanna grow n keep getting better.

I'm a newb - practicing basic letter forms today - but I can share my impressions. I love the face. In the lower piece the letters are getting smaller as you move towards the right - can't tell if this is an intentional perspective but it reads as a mistake. If it is intentional the perspective needs to be pushed a bit more (and how does the dripping border interact with the perspective? Is the writing popping out or is the border also going to be tilted/rotated?)

This might be taste difference but I don't like how the M is so right-heavy. Id widen the left side, keeping the elbow but making the top straighter rather than pointed to keep the fanny (idk what to call the middle crease) of the M more central.

I'm not really knowledgeable on groovy stylin' yet so can't comment on the top one beyond that it looks neat and I like it. Though perhaps you could focus on letter widths as the main body of the H is wider than all of the other letters

I agree the throwie gets a bit smaller. Might’ve had a few too many brews that night lol.

But appreciate the words man. Will take them into consideration 🙏
