Hey Vlad! Wassup man? Long time. Been stalking your new posts for a bit, as always really great sketchy energetic figure work.
I would have to agree with Muzz. It's all good to say, the only reason for doing things is "fun" but be honest with yourself too. If you ever want to work as a pro, you have to be able to show people what "a finished Walent" piece looks like. I think rather than waiting for the perfect sketch to work up, start working up more of them that have potential. Create finished pieces, be it illustrative, or character design or just plain figurative work. But finish them!
That's the one thing missing from your stuff....completion. Actually a client of mine said he had contacted you for some character work, and I gave him my full recommendations of your skills, but it requires finishing work I guess. It's not something that comes easily. You have to force yourself over the hump...I know I did.
Another thought....have you considered delving into traditional figurative painting. Seems like that's more what you are drawn to, so why stick with digital? digital figurative pieces have much less value than a trad piece. Something to consider?
