My Climb From Absolute Beginner

[Prinn]

Hey everyone, I started drawing about 1 1/2 weeks ago and this is some of what I dumped out so far. I'm making this sketchbook as motivation for myself to constantly improve and show progress(hopefully for years to come). Below are just some exercises and "gesture drawings" that I've done from various models on Pixelovely. I've also picked up various books like Vilppu's Drawing Manual, Figure Drawing For All It's Worth, Figure Drawing: Design and Invention and have read... I would say the first couple of chapters from each, but I really don't have any direction as to what I should be focusing on.

   I would love to work toward becoming a character designer, so if anyone has any critiques/advice to offer as to where I should go from here, please feel free to comment and tear my scribbles apart :)
