What would the M and W be in your binary system? I guess a better question is what is your binary alphabet? I like the simplicity of your system and it makes a lot of sense. I appreciate the video lesson.

If the top of the f was looped then the top of the loop should be at capital letter height. But seeing how I didn't loop it, I chose to bring it down to accommodate for the flourishes and filigree above so that it could flow from the t and l uninterrupted. Thanks for noticing though not a lot of people would have done.

But the best way to think about it is that there's no set way to do lettering but as long as they follow the basic shapes and are consistent, it makes for good lettering.

I think getting better at drawing is more about being able to identify what you don't like about you own drawing and what is different/ missing. I think once you can identify those things then you start to see improvement. Hope this helps. I know it seems like something pretty obvious but it's something people (including me) rarely think about, so it's usually my only advice for getting better.
