Something about form

[MatterFold]

Great work!
Here a quick overpaint that might help you a little, I feel in the first study you copied too much like a camera, in the sense that you copy what you see but don't understand it.
This often happens and in time this should go away, it's why were are here after all :) so take this as a reminder of that fact!

Try and think more like that second study did, think planes and wireframes, think space and turning form, and think about how light affects it, feel the forms turning and the value changing relative to it.

What can help here is to feel and follow the form with your strokes like in example 1
This will enhance the form illusion in the final drawing, but more importantly in my view, helps you to force your mind into thinking about space/planes.
p.s. note also in this example drawing on the right the tiny sketches of the noses, how he constructs the planes etc. try to think like that, always
