Usually kids coloring books are the best for that. They have all of the pop culture types. I’ve the adult artists add the line art before actually coloring them.
Ah I should have saved the scene in a more beginner friendly state…at the top right of the viewport, enable “Show Overlays” so you can actually see the rig. A finished rig usually makes the body meshes unselectable in viewport so you can’t accidentally rip your character apart, but I still need to work on them…(eventually, when I have some motivation)
In Pose Mode you can rotate the ‘root’ bone (that’s the big circle on the ground with 4 arrows). And since the body is parented to the rig, you can also just rotate the entire rig in Object Mode (that’s what I did).

Drawing lines is super hard for me. There are other subskill in drawing that is hard for me to understand, but lineart is both hard for me to understand and hard for me to physically do. If artist like Peter Han, Trent Kaniuga and Mr Kim didn’t say that they also find it hard and still make mistakes even at their skill level I’d probably quit.
Almost had to do surgery for my right hand to the point I had to change tools like mouse (to vertical type) and add small keyboard with knobs so my right hand don’t have to move much. I also built my own tablet stand. Even now it is still prone to injury, idk if it is just me or other people also experience it.
Maybe I just don’t know safety precaution when drawing. But I did my research and the only thing that I can think of is either my hand is too weak, or I do excessive gripping, or I draw for too long in the early days of me learning.

there are 8 corners in a box, I think the key is to know the depth correlations between those corner points to each other and also to the viewer eye.

Yeah same. I got carpal in my right hand so bad I had to learn how to use the mouse with my off hand. Once I split mouse duties between my hands, took regular breaks and really focused on good ergonomics; it started to get better but it was a slow process. Hope you find what’s dragging your hand down.

Stopped early in second session because my hand start hurting
Sorry was too lazy to create new file. I was trying to continue the space marine sketch at first, but I was even more lazy to actually do calculations than doing observation drawing.

This is incredible work. Process video was also very interesting and entertaining.
At first, I thought you were going to paint the fruit then take inspiration from the fruit and implement the inspiration on to the mega suit sketch in the back and make like a Dragon Fruit themed mega bot. 
Honestly, that might look sick.

@TBs_thename Thank you. I’ll consider doing that for coloring practice, I think it will be a good test to see if I can detach color variable from an object and put it on other stuff. Rinotuna, one of the artist I look up to done a series on IG of taking everyday item as the base for his character design.

Awesome, looking forward to it.
Good nutrition makes a world of difference for both physical recovery and mental. Glad to see you are prioritizing this.
Hope your hand gets to feeling better soon!

Oh I remember that one!
The face now definitely better matches the whole head and eyes which suggest she’s not facing straight at the viewer. And it also gives a lot more the impression of looking at her from rather close distance, those small changes definitely make a difference!
And she looks more happy too

I think I know why my shading is weak without reference.
I did several test, but I need to do more just to be sure.

Looks like a solid foundation to me. Although I’ve heard from several artists unless you’re going for ultra realism there’s always room to adjust the shape of a shadows and highlights to help show off the 3d aspect of the subject.
