Sup man, thanks for the comment! Nice looking shape sketches in your last post, that's an exercise I'd like to try.
I agree with kikindaface, I think if you took some time to draw from life and observation it would really help your work from imagination (btw, props on not being afraid to foreshorten the poses you make up from your head)
One really great exercise would be to set up a still life with simple objects and draw it for 30-60 minutes, then leave the setup and draw it again from your memory as closely as you can. Doing studies of shots from movies you like is really popular too, and I've learned a lot from doing thumbnail-sized studies of the composition of pieces I like.
Best of luck to ya, keep posting!
