Don’t know about technical accuracy but I’m feeling a human connection to a lot of the eyes I have been doing

Asked for help
0 minute pose figure drawings, I'm more aware of the simple form beneath the figure, altough the proportion is still off, and have some trouble for pose like s225 where it clearly off.
I still have this bad habit of hyperfocusing on one part instead of the overall figure, It usually came back if I get a little bit tired. I think that's why the latter figure have a more distinct wrong proportions.
Any feedback or critiques on how I can improve will be greatly appreciated.

Have you studied 1st and 2nd point perspective yet? Intuitive perspective (I am guessing that means approximating perspetive without calculating it mathematically) comes after you understand the basic principles. If you are just trying to fake the knowledge, it probably won't look right. Marshall Vandruff's perspective video on his website is great. It's old and bad production value but really good. Feel free to send me your art if you want an outside opinion on what to work on

I’m feeling a lot more confident with the loomis method. I’m starting to study the eyes and I want to make sure I’m placing them in the right spot. I split the brow and bottom of the nose in half and then I split that in half again. Please any advice and critiques are welcomed! Thank you

Apologies for the delayed response. It was difficult to organize my thoughts about all this.
I have started again, using the book “How to Draw” by Scott Robertson as my primary resource. I created a daily goal for practice that I should be able to maintain even when school starts again. So far it’s been pretty good, practicing nearly every day and going above the daily goal since I have a lot of free time right now. I’ve also done exercises I had avoided in the first try of this book, thinking I didn’t need to practice it or not taking the time to figure it out when little instruction was given. These early exercises are ones that I’m familiar with, but the new ones are coming up soon. I know it’s going to get more difficult and I am prepared for that.
Even if my lines aren’t perfectly straight, I move on when I feel I understand the exercise. I’ll come back to practice it more, and it may even be part of the newer exercise, but I won’t let perfectionism prevent me from progress.
I’ve kept everyone’s advice in mind. Thank you all. I am determined to not give up this time!!!!!!
