Study #1 Moon Road

Left:
. paper coated with white gesso
. acrylic colors only, 2-3 layers

Right:
. no gesso
. refined with oil pastels

Conclusion
Both results are no good. Maybe the acrylic paper just sucks? :/
(I have no problem with acrylic on watercolor papers.. so far.)

Any tips around using acrylic paints on paper?

Drawing pen on paper.

Comments/critiques are welcome. (yeah I know the hand is longer than it should be, okay what else? obviously I need more frequent practice :|)

-> to  :

If anyone is interested in correcting, it would be something to do with the pose-perspective & proportion please. In which part/perspective line etc am I doing wrong? Thanks so much in advance. :)
