    Haha, v's with round bubble letters are tricky, don't sweat it. It's hard to get the bottom to look right.

    Three steps to self-assessing your work (learned this in a college art class, that I soon dropped out of):
    Look at it from your peripheral to assess aesthetics, basically just to see if it looks right subconciously, without paying attention to the details or individual pieces.

    Then, i guess when it comes to graffiti, compare the letters to eachother as far as height, width, line thickness, 3d, etc.

    To finish it off, look at each letter (or piece of your drawing) as an individual, cover the rest of it if you have to, and make sure it's what you want it to be, resembles the original keyboard style letter, and has the same style as how you want your piece to look.

    Your letter spacing is way off in the top one. line width is off on the D and the middle of the E.... Don't put the one in your throwie, if your going to put it anywhere, put it in your tag, but personally, I'd say keep your tag the way it is.

    make one with all your letters in the bottom style. Just work on the width of the B. Other than that, I like it.

    Use your tag thats above the top one. I like it as well.

    Bored- look at your E, see how all the other letters have a flush and flat left side, and the E is all messy on the left? Also, work on the other side of the E use a few curvy lines like the rest of your letters. Make your O and Ethe same size as the rest of your letters, they're a little bit bigger.

    To check my letter width, I start with the end of my pen/pencil on one side of my letter, and grab it at the end of the first letter, then pick it up and check each letter is the same width.

    For letter spacing, with a pencil, lightly draw the outline of the parts of the letters that are covered up, and make sure the space thats overlapped is pretty much the same each time. erase it if it's right, if not, leave it, and try again, looking to see where you can fix it in the one that now shows where your mistakes are. It gets easier the more you do it.

    Hipe:
    1.Too much space in the h, and you pinched it too much at the bend.
    2. Line width... need I say more?
    3. Your i needs work
    4. The huge bottom part of your e doesn't look right.
    5. Looks like you tried to do shadow on the h, but 3d everywhere else.
    6. Straight lines to split curved letters doesn't look good, and they are too long anyways.
    7. Letter size, your e is huge.

    There's your crits.
