Hey! Nice studies so far, especially those master studies. You certainly have the patience and determination if you can produce a copy that accurately. I've noticed you tend to use a lot of brush strokes/ lines when you could do the same with 1 or 2 strokes. This is a bad habit to get into. Try to take a bit more time before laying down a stroke to think about what it is you're trying to convey. Its a good practice to try and make every stage of a drawing or painting look as good as possible. It should be your aim to try and make even the beginning stages of your work look like it belongs on a wall with a frame around it. If the first few stages are rushed and sloppy then the later stages will too. Its a piece of advice I heard that I took to heart and found it a huge help. Hopefully you will too.
