Nice dogs, and those watercolors look great! The values on the armor study is wonderful, too. :)
Hmm... A lot of your figure studies seem to lose their feeling of "weight" where you draw in the legs. You're frequently truncating the length and "guessing" where the feet will sit, and it gives your figures the feeling that the legs are coming off and floating from the hips like arms do, rather than supporting the body. Your torsos and arms look great, but it's really losing the connection at the legs. I need to do this as well, but perhaps while drawing your figure studies take an extra minute to define the planar angles where the feet sit, where the head sit, and where the horizon line is so you can draw the feet at the right angle and height and capture the feeling that the people are really standing on their feet rather than just having feet, as well as really capture dimensional relationships from subject to viewer.
Keep up the good work!
