Improved ribcages (i think)

Here are ribcages drawn from even more angles. Tbf I might be too bored to draw them at all angles! But I think my ribcages are looking better than before. Feedback appreciated.

Hey Wenhan! Good job on these. You were successful at turning them in space, which is definitely the hardest part of that lesson.
A few small things I'd add, the first being taking good photos of your art. This is more of a nitpick than anything, but it's more of a good habit to get into. These aren't bad photos, but they don't look "cool". When you present a piece of art, even a study, everything comes across in the final image including the quality of the photo.
The next thing is that I'd watch the width of these. It looks like they get a bit wide towards the neck a lot of the time. Something that might help is to simplify your process. To me right now it looks like you're thinking from piece to piece, rather than a big shape. If you were to start with a singular large oval, then carve from there it might help unify them a bit more.
The last thing is to clean your lines up a bit. I'm not sure if it's the paper, or the pencil. But they seem a bit rough, and stiff. I think what will solve this is drawing large to small, which is essentially just starting with a big shape then carving from there. @Sinix has a great video on his YouTube channel "Painting Like a Sculptor" that goes into the thinking behind that.
Hope this helps!
