Welcome to Crimson Daggers Leysan :).
Nice start to your sketchbook here.
By the way, since you asked for help with English ...
Should be:
If it's OK, I would also like to add some more resources for you to try with your gestures and figure drawing.
1. Proko is a really high quality teacher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74HR59yFZ7Y&t=122s
2. Michael Hampton's book: Figure Drawing Design and Invention. This method is great for constructing anatomy from simplified forms.
Also, I took the liberty of doing some research and a quick paint over for you of your Saturn piece as I felt there was a flaw in her head construction.
I thought that this was quite a difficult angle so personally I would always use reference for this (here's one I found for you)
as well as trying to construct the head in perspective using something like Loomis's methods. The main difference is that I moved the eyeball further back into her head. I also added in a shadow to the side of her nose just to indicate the plane change between the side of her nose and front of her cheek.
One thing I always like to do is draw in a sphere where I think the eyeball should go - this really helps me construct the eyelids so that they follow the contour of the eyeball.
Anyway - hope this all helps, if not please ignore :).
