The lighting on this is awesome! Great work, I can see that you're taking what tips I give you and really running with them! You're improving quickly!
Improving so quickly that I'm worried you'll burn yourself out, actually. I know you didn't ask for criticism on these piece, so I hope you'll excuse that I'm going to go on with tips about being a self taught anyways.
I've learned (from the draw a box course,) that you should split your drawing with the 50% rule. 50% of your time goes to study, art for the purpose of improvement, while seriously considering technique. The other 50% should be just for fun! No stress about doing something correctly. Here's a video about it.
It's a little long, but I promise it's worth it! You don't want to burn yourself out (and I don't want you to burn yourself out either!)

(I found the actual art terms that I was looking for earlier, oops. It's form vs cast shadows. Here's an article about it:

![[Art] Time to Evolve!!](https://storage.googleapis.com/paperdemon-prod-la/submissions/thumbs/art_53725_thumb_db4a866e22f91d2d51a2eb7a0590aa5e63a22aaf1d0da.png)
I sincerely think this is the first time I've been given both constructive critiques AND had worry expressed if I was burning myself out.
Observation aside, I sincerely appreciate the concern ^^ It's very heartwarming in a way to hear. I assure you though I am only working on stuff I want to. I've gotten roughly 5 or 6 scribbles I haven't posted here either that are admittedly self-indulgent fluff. My art goes in tandem with the therapy I'm in, hopefully, it shows that it's helped in time?
Idk if I understood you correctly or if I'm rambling like an idiot, but thank you. Really, it was surprising and kinda made my day.

I'm glad I can help! And you really do seem to be improving rapidly, love it see it.
I'm glad to be able to show so much growth admittedly.
