I think it looks great! Simple and informative. plus you can always just make extra or more ref sheets at a later date when needed

Thank you so much for encouraging <3 This is my first ref sheet ever so I have nothing to compare with, except other people's works, which are so beautiful and make me envying (a little bit). But I know the only way is to be patient and keep practicing.

Lol it's okay, everybody goes thru that envy phase, even some pro artists still do. Just remind yourself that they have had time to perfect their craft and it wasn't always that sparkly in the beginning, sure it'll still suck that you can't do what they do for now, but that's okay. That jsut means you have plenty of tiem to find you own style and just kinda draw and learn things at your own pace ^^
For a first ref sheet I'm astounded at how clean it looks, dang. But yes you're right, find a speed that works best for you, study your material, use a lot of references for whatever you need. I myself recently picked up on exploring to learn humans and I just had a lot of fun last night doing some gesture drawing using the knowledge I already had and picking some poses from Quickposes.com. So I guess, if you want any advice at all, just research your subject, load up your references, and have fun with it! Your art is already really good, and it can only get better from here.

If you want to practice angles and close ups there is this one site that had a skull you can rotate and it'll pull images from the internet of those angles or as close as it can get.
