E ai cara, beleza?
I think you're trying think that are a little out of your skill range... Nothing wrong on practicing silhouettes, but you got to focus on the fundamentals first. The silhouettes are just a form to articulate this knowledge, they won't fix it or improve it for you... So, the two main things that I notice you got to study first are anatomy and values...
Do those "medical drawings" of the human body, tons of them, do figure drawings (do not worry in being fast, take your time, a lot of time)... On the values, paint objects in black and white, paint scenes in black and white... And in this studies always keep the lighting in mind, try to understand what's happening, the bounce lights, the reflections, how did they happen..
I hope this helps, keep studying!
