Ok, so now that last piece is hitting a better target for edges. Keep that up! When you attack a specific problem you improve, and so now the hard word. (Monkey shakes the Koala down from hiding way up in the trees)
the way you do hands and proportions really needs work mate. Get some studies going on that asap!
Doing stylised imagination characters is all great, but they all suffer from the same lack of fudamentals. Too large hands, off proportions in general, pose and gesture issues, anatomy anatomy anatomy.
If you want to be a pro character artist, you have to nail heads, hands and feet, and proper from observation gestures and anatomy. I've seen some great stuff in your old work, done from reference that is pretty damn good. I think you seem to have a koala brain fart once you get to applying any learning from studies so start doing more of them really focusing on construction and proportion and then most importantly APPLY from memory again. I think this is the bit you aren't practicing, the from memory bit.
Bang out a few hundred in the next month or so. That's just 5 simple line and construction studies a day and 5 from memory right after. If you have been doing them but just not posting then ignore this :)
Keep it up!
