Hey Jake! Been watching your stuff for a while and I've gotta join the choir in singing of your improvement thus far.
I've never seen an approach quite like your when it comes to art, and I believe that as you progress it will net you some stellar results.
In my opinion, the thing that will take you to the next level will be to work on making your images more volumetric and dimensional. I'm reading a lot of your shapes as flat, when I'm certain you intend for them to pop.
The best things to study for increasing dimension in your work in my experience have been:
-Still lifes
-Planes (the fundamental, not the aircrafts)
-Lighting scenarios (and really reserving highlights for appropriate areas)
- constantly doing the "squint test" to see how your values are reading, or desaturate your picture.
-heavy value studies.
Just jump into any one of those areas and be more mindful of your forms and I'm sure you'll see improvement really soon. Keep up the epic studies.
