im not a fan of popout but you are making good progress so far :)
i think for learning a rectangle sig would actually be easier to do well on
before i declare a signature finished i look at it in black & white
also zooming out really far and looking at it can help. it gets you a good overview if its too cluttered for example, something
you can easily overlook if youve focused only on single details while making the sig.
just looking through tutorials and if you have the time remaking them as advised will help you greatly.
hope you have fun with making signatures. if you ever feel stuck and not making progress, take a step back, maybe try to soak up
inspiration through music and images and dont worry, its just a fun thing you do :D

do notice that popout adds a whole new layer to the sig that has a very low potential to make the sig even better and a very high potential to make
the sig look like complete shit. you cant just make a rectangle sig and then cut around the edges. a good popout sig has to have a design in mind since the beginning
(at least for popout sigs i would consider good) and are therefore harder to brainstorm on
but yeah. youre at a level where you can improve on everything so the priority should be to have fun and create stuff you, not other people, enjoy. the general improvement
comes automatically.

not sure if this is helpful at all i just wanted to get some discussion and motivation for you going :D
as you can see im not that good at making signatures either, but i have a lot of fun doing it

First ones are not really outstanding ^^ but I like #4 #5 #6 very much!
Got this "something" that makes pop-out sigs so cool :)
Keep it up ;)

Dont limit yourself with signatures. Get your hands on posters, website, logos, frames, backgrounds... you know, all the other stuff. That will force you to learn new techniques - and those will improve your work and workflow.
