This is definatively going the right way man! Awesome value studies on the simple shapes. You really had an awesome idea with that, it's helping your value control and edges inmensely!! Keep it up. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna steal that idea and try them out myself muahaha. Do you get the references somewhere or you have real ones at home?

And anatomy is getting better too. You certainly got the right idea about simplifying, the more complex you go, the most likely you will get lost in the tiny shapes and it will not help your construction. Some of these are already quite ok, but there are problems with structural placement in a few. The one suggestion I can give to simplify ( tha talso relates with your basic shape studies) is to build them with boxes in perspective, trying to make them rythmical and focusing on that more than anything, building them with basic shapes. As a matter of fact I did a quick sketch for another member of the forum to suggest this approach, I'm gonna post it here hoping it helps, it's quite raw, but it ilustrates my point:



It's quite boring and anoying to build figures this way at first, but after a while it helps with placement and conficende and then you can quickly jump to the sexy shapes hehe.

Anyway, hope it helps man, keep up the awesome work ! ;)
