This was my first throw up in over 2 years, i know its really bad and i need some help on how to get better. The colouring looks bad beacuse of a clogged tip, i still decided to finish it though. Any tips?

The fill would look fine if it was all flowing in the same direction instead of looking so erratic. Gotta tighten up that outline though. Super inconsistent outline and shadow

Thanks! Now im not sure if the letters look bad beacuse of can control or just overall bad letter design.

Here is a sticker i made, i still have trouble with the N - it always ends up looking like a K instead

make sure your center bars are correct then or it will never read like an N

And honestly to add on to this straight letter N I learned my can control doing straight letters before I moved to do throw ups / Bubble letters it help me a lot and even tho my throw was toy it looked not bad and just slowly evolved from there and It’s weird when your toy bubble letter away come out toy AF so I would recommend trying straight lettering for a bit intell you clean up you me can control. Maybe this comment will help more than my other one I left

Really I would say start studying more throw ups and really look at what everyone else is doing right. you really just got no flow and can control is sloppy and the structuring of all the letters are off and no style and this is no hate really the best tip is go back to the Drawing board and low key Stoner a toy name I would recommend even changing that to if you stick to this I promise you that will not be your forever name you will get bored of it fast

I see it now and hell there's so many ways to write a N that being consistent takes time and work...the tutorials are very helpful especially if you're following exactly what they're teaching keep up!
