Looking at your work I realized one aspect that could be improved on. Some of your drawings are lacking strong construction and that takes away from their 3 dimensionality and overall form. I think what has helped me a lot to grasp this is drawing using basic shapes( sphere, cube, cylinder and pyramid/cone.) Once you master drawing those in any angle, your drawings will start to leap out of the page. I would recommend taking a look at Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing book to to see the way he uses construction.

Your hard work is paying off. Hoping to see more
First off, thanks for stopping by Saraiva! I appreciate it very much! It's nice to see some new faces up in my Sketchbook! lol!

I haven't really completed any final drawings yet, but, I will definitely keep that in mind! Also, maybe put off putting away my christmas ornaments so that I have some sort of Sphere to draw! Also, I will contemplate making some cubes and cones so I can see them in real life.

Thanks eroquii for stopping by and handing out the encouragement! It really helps! Don't let anything about drawing scare you! You know it's all inanimate right? It wont bite! Try, try again!
