Like I mentioned earlier, trying to be much more loose studies, do much more sketching and much less painting / rendering. I am trying to do some cat studies for a possible illustration attempt. I was trying to exaggerate the cats expressions a bit, and they look a little cartoony but I am still satisfied with how they came out. Painting for me is my strongest attribute in art right now. My imaginative stuff / sketches need much more work and are suffering because of this. The two skills are very uneven right now. As a result, I am going to switch gears, not be so rigid and do a much larger volume of sketches.

@Demon Lizardman, thanks man!
@Rotohail, Thank you for the kind words! Yes you are right, I just need to do pages and pages of gestures, quick sketches, redraw studies from memory, imagine poses etc - build up that muscle memory. Yes all of those are my sketches digital and in my sketchbook. Yes those are 3D scans of people. Doing primitives in perspective, actually I have done a ton of that, you can see some of that in my earlier posts. I was getting so rigid with it at one point that was like 75% of my art time and it just got ridiculous so im going back to sketching to loosen up a lot more.
