Hmm not sure you 100% got my point.
"Once I figure that out and once I get a sketch worth spending time on, I'm sure I can solve rendering as well."
You are making all these little mistakes in your quick sketches that look fine on a quick sketch, but would break as soon as you take it further, and you can't learn what these are unless you actually take a few of them through to the final stages. Lots of little form issues; not having the face construction totally nailed or not drawing limbs properly locked into perspective.
Many people are worried about loosing flow from their gestures when they polish, but don't stop to ask why they lose flow. Usually it's because in the process of polishing you need to fix all the perspective and form issues with the pose that they messed up in the initial gesture. If you get good enough at finishing work, then you'll stop making these errors in the first place, and the amount of flow you lose is reduced.
I'm not really even talking about rendering.
Does that make sense?

Drawing out of perspective is like singing out of tune. I'll throw a shoe at you if you do it.
