I just finished reading Blood Song - fantasy story about this order of warrior monks, the young boys who are sent there are whacked with canes every time they make a tiny mistake in training. You want one of those monks stood behind you whacking you round the head with a cane every time a line comes out wrong. Extreme but effective!
People said this to me for a while but I only took the advice recently, to try painting instead of focusing on line solely. In my head I was always saying 'when my line work is good enough, I'll try painting'. Well, my line work isn't good enough yet, but I tried painting anyway, and after a few days doing that exclusively I really feel like a whole new realm of possibilities and understanding is starting to open up. Try it man, sometimes it's good to vary things up and approach stuff from another angle. I know you tried it with that guys head above - but heads are so hard, line, paint or otherwise! Try it with some easier stuff. Try Shaddy Safadi's approach on his youtube videos. It's a really nice approach.
You're making great progress though ^^ Love the god and his double pecs : )
