Hey, that's a good portrait for where you're at right now! You have a clear understanding of where everything sits. I think you could benefit from some perspective studies, but failing that, try drawing an apple from life, something with some substance. I think it'll help your shapes a lot!

Nice perspective studies! The cutaway boxes is a great exercise. Now stack them! ;)
Something to try -- to get crispier lines, do not go over the same one over and over, even to make them "weigh" more and come forward. If you mess up, do not draw across the line again: this creates bad habits, makes your linework fuzzier and your hand doesn't learn to draw them straight and accurate the first time. It can harm your perspective studies -- drawing from the same vanishing point over and over is sure to tamper with accuracy.

i like your skulls too - are you working on a particular exercise or approach with those? i wanna try something similar but my simplified skulls are shocking.

you have some really nice fluid motion in your gestures, and it's good to see that you're really getting into your perspective studies. i like the variation in types of perspective, and i think that if you keep grinding like this you'll see some real progress!
i would love to see you do more drawings that you spend a good chunk of time on- line and perspective are important fundamentals but tone and value are also important, and it is good to learn early on how to carry a piece through without overworking it.

keep it up, i can't wait to see what you do!
I will ari, thanks! And you are right, I should spend way more time on my drawings. As well as explore tone and value.
As for what I have today?
1) To test my skills, I decided to draw a page of a fantasy comic at toward end of each month. So today we
have the first page.
