hello White Rose,
first of all you seem to be motivated, thats the most important thing and i think you already understand that never give up, even if you think that you dont progress, know that with each drawings you improve. Its a good thing that you study those books, your loomis stuff is coming along very well, keep doing and re-doing those studies, get those heads measurement proportions in your head so that later you will see them even before you start putting the lines on your blank sheet of paper. However, dont let those books control what you draw... dont let your mind focus too much on getting the perfect construction otherwise you will never be satisfied with what you do.. i know it may sound crazy and at the opposite of what many may say but do some experiment that comes from personal observations, analyse what you see and when you discover things while you draw, write them down. I strongly suggest you to do some drawings using pens , and simple lines, without too complexe constructions... just try to grab the shapes, silhouettes, contours, and of course draw from life. FOCUS on what you draw and always ask your brain thousands of questions before you make your lines; whats the angle of this limb , what kind of pose do i want to do, whats the mood of my character, is he fat, skinny. See each line on your paper before you draw them, get control of your drawings, dont let your drawing or construction impose you anything, you are the artist. So thats it, i know its a strange reply lol and maybe full of spelling mistakes ( i speak french mostly ) but i think its a good thing to know, i can say it helped me alot when i was struggling with the same books. So thats it, keep it up
