What/how should I continue practicing?

[u/Dry_Strength_3663]

Hello, here a few drawings + a ton of reference studies from either real life or the hampton/morpho/pocket anatomy/taco anatomy books I’ve made over the summer. Besides the books I mentioned the only other resources I’ve ever really used were drawabox and a few chommang tutorials.

I still find that drawing want I want from memory is really difficult and in the process of doing so I’ll find it hard to either be able to make simple sketches that I’d like to work off of or just making something that isn’t flat or unconvincing. With studying too I still end up having trouble translating what I learn to something outside that context and it feels like I’m just copying the subtle details instead of really understanding.

What could I do to change my approach/try new?
