I'm not going to hate... but it could definitely use some work. I can tell you do a good bit of tagging because your letters have SOME extensions in the right place (not the arrow extensions). Most lettering thats not just a simple is all about creating a sprezzatura... something that looks intricate but conceals effort. When you're forming your letters, you should never just throw on an extension for no reason. Extensions help bring your eye through the piece, and therefore should be very carefully placed. I take it "skep" is short for skeptic or skeptical. Give your letters a skeptical personality. Give them a little attitude so that whoever sees them feels judged.
Another thing that can help is not judging your letters until they're completely finished. Tweak a little bit at a time, and make sure you have formulas for what you're doing. Don't bother worrying about if someone will understand what you did... the more complex you make your formulas, the more complex a mind it will take to understand it, and the less you'll have to settle for mediocrity.
As for the arrows, drop that shit. The only time I'll ever put arrows into a piece is if I create one by accident where two letters intersect. If you're heavily focused on the actual lines of your letters, you'll start to reveal arrows to yourself.
Above all, don't listen to the people that hate, they're only concerned with trying to lower the level of their competition instead of evolving their own style.

Wow it's been a while since I've actually posted art in here.
I was bored and slightly aroused, so I drew my perfect woman. Yeah, I'm aware her hands are a little small for her body, I have difficulty drawing hands. Speaking of the hands, they're located over her...um...pants because I was trying to make it look like she was doing that squishing-my-boobs-together-with-my-arms thing. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with it.

Not a paper and pencil type of guy, but this turned out well...
Sharpness and shading in a couple of the spots could have been better. I love these half and half drawings.

Here is some of my abstract art and graffiti drawings. Most of them I do in school/class when I'm bored and want to get lost. Unfortunately, the only way to get these on the internet was to use a scanner, which totally decreased the quality of them. =[

I was babysitting my neighbour recently (she’s 5), we were drawing, and I was having a hard time thinking of anything to draw. So i decided to start sketching myself sketching and it just became a sketch of me sketching their living room. Her parents got home a little while later and this was what I had done.
