Okay. I took some advice and started studying forms and perspective. Is there any improvement or things I can work on?

Newest to oldest. I started practicing sketches using more perspective drawing and using direct reference for the pose instead of doing it from memory. It’s still pretty wonky and a bit out of my comfort zone, but that’s how you improve, right? Also shoutout to my therapist for helping me stop connecting my ability at art to my self-worth. I’m studying pretty hard for art rn since I need to be able to do well on AP art cause I’m trying to get into CalArts. (I’m a sophomore rn, so it’s a year or so away) the level expected of AP art is way above my level but I seeing how fast I’ve progressed in art since January without rigorous study probably means that with the right books and materials I can do it. It’s not that different from studying for school Imo with the main exception that I actually enjoy doing it and never really get sick of drawing, even if Its excruciating at times, some form of masochism keeps me going haha. I’ve picked up a copy of Color and Light by Gurney and a set of drawing heads and hands and figure drawing for all it’s worth by andew loomis and plan on combing through them at some point.

How do I place the hands and controller into 3d space?

They are flat and seem pasted over the controller rather than being a 3d object that the hands are interacting with.

Tried better to express forms through shape and overall make it feel less flat in this one, what should I keep in mind as I continue to color and eventually experiment with lighting?

I think I've found the cheat code for making fundinental studies fun

So I've been studying perspective and what I've been doing is designing the city that my OC lives in... I've never gotten bored of it and I've gotten many perspective studies done in a short time! I didn't realize it was this simple, if you combine the fundinentals plus stuff you're interested in it makes drawing much more fun!
