Hello and welcome!
I feel like you are doing a disservice to yourself with the way you sloppily approach your line based studies.
Line quality is important and requires just as much attention as any other fundamental esp. since it is one of those base level skills even if it is for 'visual library' study.
I suggest you not do such sloppy lines in the future when doing initial layins or line study. Focus on nailing accuracy of angle and length relationships and your line quality in a way that aids showing the form. Don't chicken scratch multiple times over one section. If you need to you can do a light guide line first that you can estimate and measure/correct off and then try hit it once with a final darker line over the guide. Or draw...undo then draw again until it looks right. Don't scribble or use move/translate/warp tools in digi as a crutch or better yet do these traditionally...in pen or pencil.
Google Dorien Iten accuracy guide, it's a good simple free (pay what you want) resource on comparative measurement and accuracy)
Focus and be more present with your drawing studies and know specifically what and why you are doing the study. If you slow down and take more care you will also understand and retain what you are studying better and not continue on bad habits.
The still lives look ok, but you seem to be missing a lot in the lower value range. Are these photo studies or are you doing them from life and taking the photos? If from only the photo..again you seem to be rushing through and not getting the most out of these that you perhaps might by trying to be more accurate. Same goes for the digi paint studies. You don't seem to have any real focus in mind while doing them (is it value grouping, colour study, form, vis library, composition?) They all seem rushed through and fairly sloppy and abandoned before really nailing any aspect that could be studied.
Good luck!
