Hey there Ivy :) Interesting concepts in your sketchbook as well as studies! Really liking the stuff from your imagination, especially those last creature heads. Like you mentioned, great drawings come with great practice, and plenty of practice is something we can all benefit from at any time. :)
I won't repeat what Tsirides and Stardust already mentioned, but perspective and drawing objects from life go hand-in-hand. You definitely seem to realize that, since you studies do have a sense of direction perspective-wise, so perhaps breaking down the object into basic shapes could help you even further with the overall structure of an object. Again, there are many different takes on sketching, and different artists do things in different ways. When it comes of form though, I feel that analytical or constructive drawing can help you tons in that respect: https://drawingseeing.wordpress.com/2011...and-whole/. This is from Francis Ching's Design Drawing, which, although aimed at Architecture students, has plenty of juice to apply to any sort of drawing. :)
Hope it's useful to you in some way! :) Keep it up and hope to see more from you!
