This looks really good! I'd suggest picking a focal point (usually for portraits its the eyes) and going in and adding some really hard edges to grab the viewer's attention
Good work here! I like how you clearly put thought into designing your shadow shapes and have your hatching follow the contour of the form. I would focus on making sure your figures are balanced. Pay attention to where the center of gravity is with relation to the feet, right now it looks like your subject might fall backwards. Here is a video on balance that I found helpful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLBhO-4YEww&t=0s
I also think you can work on the neck and shoulders. Notice how the neck curves up into the head. I'd also pay attention to the foreshortening on the arm on the left, right now it just looks a little long.
Overall, good work! keep it up :)

I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm working on the Drawing Basics course here as a main priority, but have dabbled with a few other smaller courses at Proko when I didn't have any other assignments for the fundamentals course. Recently I started working through the self-study syllabus created by Kristian Nee, which has a thorough (multi-year!) course plan for self study. So far I've found it really helpful! I've attached the full syllabus (it's a super long image file) in case you want to use it also. (Credit: Kristian Nee)

Do you have a link to the original file for the syllabus? The one here is pretty low res

Gesture Feedback4mo
Hello! I was practicing gesture, specifically trying to follow the FORCE method. I also went back and added in the robo-bean on afew of them. I feel like I had a particularly hard time getting the torso to look right and getting the legs to connect to the torso.
Any feedback is appreciated!

2022/11/6. Good morning everybody here’s my today’s 30 mins warming up exercise. Thanks and have a good Sunday.
overall very nice!
The thumb looks a little long, also the contour lines on the middle finger should be parallel becuase finger joints can’t bend sideways (if that makes sense, pls ask if it doesn’t)

Rendering Study Critique2yr
Hello!
im pretty new to rendering, so I could really use some feedback.
i tried going in and first trying to get texture w textured brushes , then adding big shadows, and then adding more intense textures, except for on cotton where i did the bigger shadows first to define the form. Idk if there’s a better process I cld be using.
Your values are great! nice simplifying
Great lecture, can't believe it's free! Question: does it make sense to apply the same strategy of lines bouncing off each other when drawing the face?
