Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

I think you could get more into indicating the clavicule.Defining the ears also.Just push yourself to indicate some of the small detail since you seem to be able to define form to a decent level.I think you could also gain from study skull and the eye a little more since the eye doesn't seem to sink in enough specially the lower eyelid.You have a good understanding of the brow i can give you that.

For the invention rent we all have the blank canva problem.I think you just need to practice visualizing this is done by drawing simple geometric FORM that you eventually combine and place in perspective.

It much easier to start from reference than it is to straight go into invention that why it frustrating alot of artist from following there creative potential locking them in copying from life.Once you unlock the power of construction(combination of geometric form) it become less intimidating.

One of the big problem of creativity is that it so large that you have to limit yourself.By limiting yourself you eventually can solidify an idea it doesn't mean it the final idea you can than start to iterate on that idea once the page as something on it.

One of the other trap is to fall in love with the first idea or to be never be satisfied.

You should limit yourself this doesn't mean being boring it mean to be able to make step forward and not hesitate every at decision.
