Try not to use scribble lines on rock or hard soil surfaces. Their faces can be better defined with lines that follow their forms. Check out these images:

The skeletons are really cool! Were those from regular figure ref?

The ice lake is gorgeous. You really captured the chill, and the transparent look of the ice.

[Alexey Savchuk]

meat - Thank you for your advice!
Tygerson - Yes I draw skeletons from real figure ref.
And thank you! That study was my favorite so far in terms of fun and interest.
Here some sketches for game concept that i did in 2010
Back then, I loved to draw such sketches because they were simple and quite exciting


Currently I decided to dig deep in understanding light and material properties with a little help of 3d (By creating Cornell Box type of scenes and manually setting up different properties, which will help me to understand nuances that i need to know about materials and light order to create my own scenes from imagination) I think it takes couple of days to get used to 3d software again...
Heres some stuff from imagination that i did in 3D back in 2010

Really good work, putting a good amount of effort into your studies also. May I ask what books you're studying from? Keep up the good work!

This is the main ones that really helped me:
De Reyna R. - How To Draw What You See
Stephen R.P. - Human Anatomy
Goldfinger E. - Human Anatomy for Artists
James Gurney - Color and Light

Since currently I am dealing with 3D, nothing to show for now...
In couple of days or earlier i will continue my daily exercises!
Also I hope that soon i will start showing WIP's of my personal projects...
Rummaging through my old 3d projects came across a couple of sketchbook scans for early 2013
