@aechling: Thanks! You reminded me that the problems I have with getting the edges right is probably related to me not thinking in planes. It's logical actually, but I never made that connection.
And with the other thing you mentioned, somehow I begin to think that less practice time is more. Or at least, the mindset "I have 2 hours where I want to do this study and work on this piece" works better for me than " I can draw the whoooole day today". With the latter, I get distracted by small crap and the day is over before I know it. Quality practice is everything.
So yeah, this week it's all planes, values & edges! Here are the first 3 studies. Tomorrow I'll have to pay attetion to the proportions too. I'm way too tired to change it now though...
