The studies are looking good, even though there are some common beginner issues such as inability to render the diffirent materials clearly (Hair and skin look the same for example) and some issues with painting only hard edges and such.

I suggest that you start something called "project-based learning". Create a full illustration and do studies to improve the illustration. Finish it, then move on to the next with new studies. You will learn much faster and easier if you apply your studies to personal work.

Good luck and keep posting! :)Thanks 

Thanks! This advice is very pointed and useful. One question, when going about project-based learning, would you recommend maybe draw a rough draft of your illustration, then doing as many studies as you think you’d need before moving on to finish? Or is it more rewarding to simultaneously work on the illustration and studies as the need to do them arises?
