So i'm gonna repost this thing I said to miss Noodleinbox earlier, i think it sums up my thought process recently
"So, when you study, what are we doing? Training observation; our ability to see things correctly.
There is a phenomena that as you improve and as the days go by you see more and see differently or "have fresh eyes."
So, take it from me and know that, just because you do a new study, doesn't mean your learning observation better. Especially if you only spend an hour or two on it. I think, the more you can observe in a study, the faster you'll grow, the same study.
Say like a photo study; instead of doing three new ones every day, take one, work on it for hours, trying to get it as close as you can. Then the next day, notice the mistakes, spend more time correcting it. Put it away for a week, come back and you'll see new problems, fix those. Because then you're not trying to fill a quota of just drawing a lot, but actually learning and improving observation skills. "

Yea, my figures are getting a little better. I spent probably 4 hrs on that old lady face today, just cringing at what i had the day before and I think it's a lot closer now, but i know I'll look at it even tomorrow and see tons of issues. The other figure drawing was extremely hard and the head looks awful, but hey that's what it's all about right? probably spent... 3 hrs just on that linedrawing; it's embarrassing lol
