It's been a while since my last post on here. It's also been a while since I've actually drawn at all too, pretty much since my last post. But I've started back up again since about the start of September-ish. Spent that time away from drawing mostly getting some basic life stuff (organizing my PC folders and files, organizing all of my notes and moving to a new note taking app, setting up a time management system, figuring out my goals, etc.) in order to hopefully make things going forward a bit easier. I wouldn't even say I am 100% done with all that stuff either, but it's close enough to a point where it's all now usable and the majority of it is complete.
So now that everything is pretty much in order, I plan to start up with my art studies. Though I am still thinking how to best go through it all. I am currently thinking of a sorta two-pronged approach of going through it all in a logical/strategic order, and also jumping around to specific areas that I need improvement in or that are of interest. That way, using both strategies, I get the best of both worlds. But I have just started thinking this through for only a few days, it still needs some fleshing out. In the mean time while I get a plan in order, I'm going to get through the book The Natural Way to Draw, since I am pretty close to finishing that up.

@Leo Ki - Thanks! It do look like it has some attitude, huh, lol. For the robot/skeleton/brick creature I was never 100% sure which lighting method to use. I was actually deliberating both of those options, either a scenario where someone is stumbling upon it, or something from above is shining down on it.

Here are some pieces, most are from several months ago since I haven't drawn much in the last couple months. Though I did polish most of them up a bit.
