@ Craig Paton: Thanks a lot, that encourages me to continue studying :)

Sketch and study:




Here is also a step by step of my process for the mining gnome above since JyonnyNovice asked me about that (explanation below):




1. Gesture with some basic forms with 2H pencil
2. Adding basic anatomy and sketching out the face
3. Adding clothing design
4. Adding more details to clothing design
5. Slightly erase everything and go over the drawing with a 2B pencil to clean up everything
6. Add basic shading and cast shadows with a 2H pencil
7. Smooth out shading with a tortillion/paper towel
8. Add occlusion shadows and smooth out again with 2B pencil and tortillion
9. Rework the shadow areas, defining more form with 2H and 2B pencils
10. Finish the drawing with a 6B pencil to accent the darkest parts
