I tend to work in phase first structure, learning the anatomy and than invention. Concerning being married to the reference i think it mostly a matter of can someone tell or not.In this case i have added the reference along the study but i could have choose to hide the reference and almost no body could have tell.Yes it limiting to be married to the reference it not a problem aslong as your not ask to draw it in a different pose it become a problem when you can't.

I am study in a fashion that is rather dull from an animation or an illustration stand point but i am focusing on what i am mostly probably be going to be ask to do as concept artist wishes is the branch i am aiming at and that would be to communicate the design in the most clear fashion so my job tend to be mostly turn around .Gesture is not gonna kill me it just add more life to my drawing but they are less important in concept art in general what is primary is being clear and making sure that i have a good range of interesting design to present.

All fundamental are essential but the amount necessary for each branch tend to vary for each individual and the demand of that branch of work.Of course if i was only doing this as an hobby i would be more open to branch out but i think it important since i want to become a professional that i stay with what i believe is best to turn my journey into a carreer sadly making mistake in my decision process can happen that why i am open to debate to as how much gesture is important in concept art in particular i would argue that structure is probably more important than gesture but to much structure can make something look stiff i can give you that.
