I've been trying to draw this bust but I'm a little stumped. I see that something is wrong but I don't know what it is exactly. Please provide me with some tips and if possible, help me figure out what's wrong. Here's the picture I'm trying to draw.

And here's a more refined (unfinished) version

You need to go back some steps and learn line control and practice drawing primitives in perspective

Stop studying cheap Home Depot lawn ornaments for starters.

So start focusing on the original shapes?

What do you suggest? I just liked the kinda creepy vibe about it.

i would suggest learning basic stuff first. line, form, shadow, etc. Like draw a sphere, and shade it. Really shade it. Youre wasting your time and just going to end up frustrated, if you sprint before you learn to walk/run.

Study gesture 'til you get it.

Study perspective 'til you get it.

Learn how to construct a figure out of spheres, cubes and cylinders. Mannequinization.

Don't draw what you understand. Draw what you don't understand.

Study anatomy.

Use basic shapes (spheres, cubes, etc) to practice shading. Research how light actually works.
