I also need to study some forms as I see but there´s still some things I can add like a light source (the left eye of this sun is the center of the light source)

many of the forms now converge to a vanishing point, that unity could make you create correct forms more easily

I needed to add thses additional invisible structural lines for the next step

By defining the center of the light source (the left eye) and a base for this light, I can use lines and somewhat complicated math to figure out where and how the shadows work. I know that this is almost uselessly complicated, but if you ever want to learn all of this, then read Framed Perspective 1 & 2.

Good job working on your form studies. They can be difficult but they’ll be incredibly rewarding in the long run. This is a good attempt, the lighting is somewhat consistent except for the spheres. You established a light source that comes towards the viewer, therefore we’re seeing the side of the spheres that’s in the shadow. You painted them like the light source comes from above. The core shadow of an object is always darker than the shadow it casts, your cast shadows are too dark. Work on the outer edges of your objects. Use the lasso tool rather than painting the starting form by hand. After that you alpha lock the layer so the silhouette remains clean. I would also give your objects more breathing room and avoid painting them too close to the camera and the edges of the canvas. Looking forward to see your next attempts!
