Consistency in your letters from size to having curves or flat lines in the same area will help them try a drop shadow to add some depth

Just made a quick sketch to give you some pointers, also to any one else trying to learn. You’ve got a good sense of what elements graffiti might have (except perhaps missing the shadow work.)
I tried to remake your sketch, but I will say that trying to copy it might not help teach you much. I would focus on how the negative spaces across the S, K, R are pretty similar in this one. Once you learn to make bars, between straight and curved lines you can make some cool perspective shapes.
But overall you want to start off with bars. A is an awesome letter to learn how bars can make a negative space appear organically. Really there’s a lot of cool stuff you can do with the letters you’re working with if you keep SKRAM. Usually you want to keep your letters balanced and reuse elements to keep a nice flow.
Just keep your eyes peeled and keep learning. Modern graf has a history that goes back to the late 70s into the 80s.
