bird construction study

trying to learn and rebrushing my construction skill here.. i choose a bird here because i havent study alot of bird, i try the study as a generalist advice, so i try something that out of my reach which is drawing a bird, any tips on how to get the proportion right on the drawing from the different angle?? and also i feel the perspective off here

Working on Hands and gestures. Can't seem to get things to look quite right. C&C welcomed.

Cylinders

I’m having a hard time making the circles look like circles, specifically with vertical Cylinders. They always look wrong because of the circles

Good day all, hoping to get some feedback for this piece I made. My end goal is to paint believable scenes from imagination. I really admire Kim Jung Gi and James Gurney. I'm currently reading James' book light and color and trying to apply some things I've read. Thank you 🙏

Day 20

I tried to focus on the form and simple shading . Any help in seeing things that I don't see?

portrait

I have trouble rendering the skin properly I don't really have a process and I spoil a lot of drawing like that

Thumbnail Trouble

I have an idea for a kinda cinematic shot (think of those Chinese artists with that bright aesthetic lighting and flowing atmosphere) of someone checking documents in their castle office. I don’t know how to best frame it. Should the character be bigger? I tried a door closeup as a foreground, a bookshelf + character as the mid and the windows plus sunlight as the background. I’d appreciate help! Thanks!

Learning mannequins

I am struggling with finding the horizon line and not quite sure how to structure my approach on learning how to draw figures. This is my workflow 1. Basic silhouette 2. Draw head, ribcage, and pelvis 3. legs and arms I struggle with drawing boxes and cylinders in perspective and how tilting affects it. I'm trying to draw my figures in 2 point perspective.
