@Fedodika Your comments and posts are always thoroughly written out and spot on, I appreciate all that you're doing on this site! You're completely right, my painting abilities have far outpaced my drawing abilities. Loving all the portraiture work you're doing, can't wait to see the grind pay off its dividends.
@Tygerson Thanks a ton! Fantastic suggestion, I did exactly that for the past week. I haven't seriously studied gesture drawing in over 5 years, and it shows.

I may have been doing too much deliberate practice at the expense of creating things I enjoy and would put in my portfolio. That's because it never feels like my skills are good enough, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. What I do know is that I'll keep striving to improve even if it means never working as a professional artist, it's that fun.
The biggest drawback to this lifestyle is the lack of friends to confide in. For it seems the mind focuses and obsesses best in utter solitude.
Here are a few contest doodles, and a few gestures from imagination:
