Hey, I like that you're posting a lot. The beans look awesome. Your lines are pretty good too.
One thing I have to mention though, try to give the viewer as much information as you can about the form. For instance on the shoulder armor, I can see it as a rounded shape because I've seen those before and I can relate to that shape, but if you're painting something less recognizable, it's gonna be hard to read if you don't give enough information. Maybe someone who hasn't seen a shoulder armor before will consider it as being flat, because the roundness isn't obvious, especially because it's only linework, without any rendering.
Here:
Of course, some pictures are made from an angle that doesn't show this, you only know it's rounded because of the way it reacts to light, but you're the artist, you can draw whatever you want, so just change the angle so that the form is clear.
Think about how much more believable it would be if you would apply 2 principles, show form through line + material rendering.
I'm trying to make sure it's really clear, so I hope this makes sense.
Keep it up!
