Dang smrr, this last update is lookin nice. Some of these figure drawings are spot on. Also, wanted to say those Pokemon illustrations on post #752 came out phenomenal, really a step up.
From the looks of it, I'd say one of the things you might need some work on in your pencil drawings, are the faces. And I don't really want to say that, because you're already doing so many face studies; some of them with stylistic choices in mind. Like in post #763 those face experiments came out looking quite interesting and unique because of that.
If you are struggling with faces, one way of doing studies might be by beginning the day with the modeling of the head/face. Fill a folder with faces you find on the web and try doing a page or two of gesture head drawings timed at 30-60 secs, and only focus on the most basic shapes. Leave out the details for now, and focus more on trying to model head/face accurately, and add in the construction lines for the brow the eyes the nose and the mouth. Then try a longer study with the same approach. You're already doing so many face drawings from memory so there's no problem with the testing yourself part of the study. I don't think it's that time consuming of an exercise, but it does help drill the process into the subconscious mind.
