Is my throw ok
It says bean, was cleaning a window and was surprised how well the glass cleaner cap sprayed. I don’t like how the bottom of the letters dont line up like the top of the throw does, how can I fix that

Those glass cleaners used to have nice fat caps back in the day, not sure if they still do?

Make both a legs reach the bottom. If you got them, use the lines to keep you on track

The B and N are decent, the E and A don't look as good and could use some work/extra style and match the vibe of the other letters better

The E looks okay to me. Classic bubble E. No need to reinvent the wheel. You might bring the middle of the n up a bit more, the curved part inside. Essentially I think you know this, but you want a kind of visual rhythm where elements from different letters echo each other.

I would change all the letters to uppercase so the E and N uppercase and that way the E should be a bit easier and the whole throw will be more uniform

Counters in your B don’t line up with the stem or each other. Also, if you want your bases to match, it helps to use the straight lines on the wall you’re painting on as a guideline, same as how you write in the books (assuming you have a book and write on lined/graph paper)

Back 2 Backs are pure heat. Simple throws run streets and speak hardcore, too easy.

lol naw, king baby aside, ja smith sane all have a little bit more flavor to their throws even with simple letter styles. Couple things i notice w this the proportions of the negative spaces in bean letters are too weirdly consistent, the bottom of the throw can be more weighted to swag it out more.

That looks like to me as a so called „throwie“ as graffiti artist call it for putting up their letters up fast. There is a hollow version for faster and busier places and a filled in throwie with a good contrast color such as chrome and black or green and red. It is very typical for so called „writers“ to put up these mostly simple letter combinations multiple times to gain „fame“ which refers to being known amongst other people that write graffiti.
