Great work so far with the consistent anatomy practice, looks like you are really grinding it out! Just make sure to keep applying the studies to personal work that you enjoy, as I've found that focusing too much on a single fundamental can sometimes kill the joy (I only mention this because it has happened to be in the past, it may not necessarily apply to you of course). Good luck and keep at it! :)

Nice work on the last piece so far!
Ideally, you should have a finished lineart that should work well on its own before you start painting (Not all artists agree with this, but I have found this to be the best way to produce a solid art piece).
It looks like you got good momentum building up in this sketchbook with studies and personal work! Looking forward to seeing all your future works here! Keep posting! :)

So one thing that stands out to me is that the majority of your faces have eyes that are very close together. They're in no way abnormal, but in reality not every person/character is going to have eyes that close set. Not sure if that's a stylistic choice tho ? I've also seen the opposite with some artists.
Your lineart is really clean and nice. Might be good to experiment with more line weight variation. Google "Aaron blaise how to pain light faces " and look at the image of faces that comes up if you want a better idea of what I mean. The less severe face plane changes have very thin lines compared to the outline

Fundamental are a matter of realism stylization is a branch of realism.Not the other way around just so you know if learning become hard it should not be a secret as to why.You cannot stylize what you do not accurately understand how to break the rule.
If you have any seriousness about achieving your artistic goal i think it important to pay respect to the fundamental very early on.
What is a style doing for you exactly in term of reaching your artistic goal can i ask?
Certainly my point isn't to kill the fun just to remind you that fun and fundamental are fundamental to your artist growth you can do this: focus on pure realism you take something you want to draw but you attach to it a idea of what you are try to improve the important part is to draw many small drawing with problem solving in mind than if you really need to draw it your own way you can make a second version of the previous drawing in your style this way you get twice the mileage .So right now absolutely go draw anything it important to explore.
Also don't worry to much if you spend to much time getting better because once you return to the fun part you will just feel so much more ''powerful'' and equip.Just remember to apply what you learn in what ever leasson you take not just sit back and soak up and forget to draw because it overwhelm you.So if anything try to take a small step at a time sure if you just started it might seem like there is so much to learn but you can't let yourself focus in what is still to learn because you have to stay in the present even those you should make a exeption when you want to try to do anticipated learning i would call it.
It ok you are still learning to balance the fun-damental
