@Fedo
Thank you so much!! I'm really happy when you mention the solid structure, because that's a big thing I'm trying to push in my work as it is the foundation for the work that I really respect. ;v;
Also thanks for your compliments HAHAHAHA you don't think my other nose was better? ;P

EDIT: Oh, I got a couple more things to drop here.
I'm getting feedback from a friend of mine who's more of a creature artist as I do the animals drawing stuff. She linked to me the recommended reading for the Animal Drawing class, which is HERE! for anyone interested in some reading!
And one of my favorite teachers, Josh Reed, just published a book on figure drawing. CLICK! He has some great simple breakdowns of the figure, more simple than Bridgman. I consider what I learned in his classes to be the foundation of how I approach figure stuff, in terms of building blocks and rendering stuff. :o He also has a lot of free figure/foundational stuff on the website linked (Drawsh.) It's a resource I always recommend to anyone needing guidance for fundamentals. He'll even crit your figure stuff if you send it to him.

OK so I just got back from figure drawing!! I always find figure to be so energizing. I apologize for the poor photo quality.

I've been really upset the last couple days about art stuff, so I'm going to work on making art an extremely positive space for myself by always phrasing what I say about it in a positive manner, even when I'm feeling negative. I want to be really energized and excited about art even when it isn't going how I want; especially because art has often been a very emotionally tumultuous aspect for me -- extremes of love and hate, always.
With that said... I'm really excited that even after a couple month break from doing figure drawing, I was able to pick right back up at the level of what I consider to be my best executed figures to date from the end of spring! It's a good jumping off point, a place to build off of and make many improvements from here on out. :)
Here's a drawing I did of Young Pearl yesterday:
