>Tbh, only one or two hours during the week and 30min/1hour. I don't draw much at all, I don't have a lot of time unfortunately.

Well the thing about busy people is when they want to get good at something they have to give something up to make time. Wake up a little earlier or stay up a little later, even if it's a consistent 15 minutes a day, at least you are getting daily practice. I made it work when I was working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week, I think you can too if you just make an effort to make the time for it.

Pic related on perspective. Just learn the basic forms that you can make a human up with and put them in perspective. Please practice gesture at bare minimum right now, you desperately need it.

Look at the image I've posted and think again about how you say that study sphere and boxes. If you can do that and understand that you're painting masses from a single light source - than all you're doing is painting more of those boxes and circles from at various degrees and angles. What I suggest is after you have your sketch done, apply a light source anywhere on your drawing and direct your light like you would your contour, or even apply your shadows on top of your previously established contour drawing. Taking note also where forms touch together (occlusion) or where on form overlaps another (cast shadow).

Since simple 3d forms (not just boxes) make good placeholders for everything else you could possibly want to draw, uh... hell yes. Pic related, you can use boxes for figuring out perspective on humans.

Have you not even seen the shit in the Scott Robertson how to draw book? All of the shit in there is made out of boxes and cylinders and shit.

took all the pages available on amazon (like 5) plus a few:

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but it doesn't look like anything not already in keys to drawing or loomis. and of course it's also unreadable to 99% of us.
