Thanks for the comment!
Yeah I will try experimenting more. I've wanted to try mixing medias (sculpting in Z-brush then painting over). I basically want to be a bit more creative in my art, I basically feel at a point where art has become a choir... and that's not a good place to be for a hobby that will never be my career.

Thanks for the advice about Android Jones.. I should've done a bit more research into his background before asking. But yeah I will look into more of his youtube videos/interviews about his process.
About failing the class, yeah I understand where you're coming from. I'm not too upset about it... the school provides a bachelors in illustration, but I never had an intention of actually finishing the degree. In order to get the degree I would need to take a bunch of non-art classes (such as European history, English (lol), Japanese history, etc), and I really don't want to spend my time studying these subjects while working a full time job. The annoying part is I need to retake this class and turn in a completely different assignment, or I won't be able to take the next illustration course.
Also the entire school is pretty strict in very strange ways. For the character design course, they want all the students to draw in a very specific, anime style, with very specific anime proportions. They will mark students down if the characters are "too realistic" or "too unrealistic".
Here is an (unfinished) assignment for that class. I actually failed all of my courses this semester since I didn't turn in any homework. ugh.
BTW if you have any critiques on this I am all ears. I feel like the perspective is wrong.

btw if you're curious about how they provide feedback, this is what they do:
