just asking for any suggestions or ways to improve is all!

It is a lot to go through though, but I guess is the nature of anatomy

I'm not a very good artist, but those look awesome!

 

If you're using paint.net, you can draw on top of the initial layer and connect the shapes. If you don't like the layer, you can hide it and draw a new one.

 

I think this post by Ashanti may also help: https://community.tulpa.info/topic/7356-game-last-one-to-post-wins/?do=findComment&comment=316231

 

I think the more you practice, the more accurate your shapes will be. I think you're on the right track though!

In order to be able to benefit from anatomy study/practice, it is good to see and understand 3d shapes first. Without being able to move them around in your head and draw them however you imagine them relatively accurately, it may not be very beneficial to work on anatomy. You can perhaps get away with drawing pretty decent things without anatomy knowledge but just being good with shapes. One can function with shapes without anatomy, but not anatomy without shapes, I feel

Also, I think just drawing overall can help with learning stuff like anatomy. I used to draw even worse than I do now. Which is okay, I'd say. But as I finished drawings I got better and a little faster. Maybe doing the most boring thing in the world like filling out sheets of paper with hands or ears helped. I would also say that focusing on digital or traditional can be important for drawing, since they aren't the same to me. With traditional I have to be careful with my strokes, but digitally I can ctrl + z if I make a mistake and I have to make quick strokes to get proper lines!

 

I know it's hard not to get frustrated with early drawings! But I think it's better to finish them, review them. And then keep it in mind for your next piece is a really good way to learn early on! If I look a Vincent van Gogh, I forget where I am on the path since I'm focused on him instead of getting to him. (This is just an example.) It's good to know what you're going for and study what they did. Just try not to get discouraged! Like everyone, stuff like this will improve over time! Even the people we look up to now probably had to start somewhere... Unless it's a superhero.

 

I hope this helps :)
