   Peter, watch the way those forms are placed in space! You should make sure to cross check your studies with plumb lines, you are getting the small forms quite well, but the placement of the major big shapes is off shifting everything else a little off balance.

   With landscape shots, try to stay away from doing "flat" compositions. It's much easier to create depth and interest simply by overlapping objects and making them recede in distance. You want to fill the environment with as many shapes as it is required to make it feel believable.

   Here is a quick paint over to show you what I mean:

   about your studies i have some suggestions:

   1 draw a post don't be scare to draw some mess lines and cross reference lines I show my rough drawing, stop thinking about clean lines they are useless without shape, I draw so many naked chicks then you still I use so many reference lines to guide myself so don't be afraid to do so
   2 loomis study you need to really learn his way literally and then use your own judgment to digest it, you follow his drawing really hard then you use the same ways to draw some of your own one

   Hey Peter, are you able to attach slightly bigger sized images so it's easier for us to see what's going on? Especially since you have so much stuff per image. That last anatomy study has a few pretty big issues you could have fixed by dropping a few horizontal check lines to see where things line up, sorry at work so can't do a paintover.

   With the value studies, I think you are picking some hard references to work from. It would be better to use those for colour study instead. A nice black and white photo makes for a much better value study material. Personally though I think it's probably better to study colour first and get comfortable in that. Colour and light are two different beast, if you want to get better at colour you should do colour studies.
