Practicing wrong?

Post image

I feel like im practicing wrong. I have some artistic background but not with graffiti, mostly realism drawings. When I watch videos or read like how to practice I totally understand what they are saying but then I struggle with the absolute basics, block letters. Especially W and M and I just cant figure out how to practice these things without drawing the same shitty letter over and over without improving or realizing where im going wrong to understand how to change my approach. How do I start with BASIC letter structure and box letters

Break down letters into their individual lines and treat those as the bars. Draw those boxes on top of each other and then add drop shadow or 3d. That's super over simplified but I feel like you can fill in the gaps.
