Studies looking good! Awesome to see the hours ticking up :)
If you haven't seen this I have found it helpful for memorizing some shortcuts for the proportions of things before drawing out all the muscles/bone details:

I haven't spent a ton of time with it yet but I like it because it relates everything to 1 measurement (the width of the "ball" of the head); there aren't a lot of fractions and stuff to remember.
Since you asked for thoughts... IMO it might be helpful to do arms from different angles, especially 3/4 views and different arm poses... just because I think it's hard to get the the "real" 3D shape of the stuff in your head purely with orthos. Tracing muscle groups on top of model photos can help too, but maybe not so much with arms/hands since there are so many small muscles in there, tough to see under the skin...
Keep up the good work!
