Aight, wrapping this guy up. Gotta do something better after this, something more coherent. I like this dude though, as flawed as the picture is, I see what i need to do as far as research and study in like how a costume works. I feel I got a cool comp, colors, attitude, etc. just need to make a more coherent design.
So next up im gonna do some kind of wizard or a rock golem, since i think that'd be a manageable endeavor. I definitely feel like I fully understand how studying works now. You have to like have a goal in mind, and work as quickly and effectively as possible to meet that goal. It could happen in a split second, for instance, you're drawing a womans fingernail, so you pull up a reference to get the shape right, bam that was a study; didn't take an hour, took a minute, you learned something. Or how do you design a wizard, find some designs of wizards, get some ideas, write down the stuff you enjoy; ugh, it's so simple but so complex in theory.
I think the more you can write down and observe objectively the better you are at observing. Maybe not in a still life painting sense blah blah, im tired...
