I think when you hatch you are probably not lifting the pencil between each line, if you dont do that its like scribble shading. There's nothing inherently wrong with it but ive found put me in a headspace of not thinking clearly about the plane changes. So a simple thing to try is to not drag the pencil in hatching and lift between each hatching line :)

One thing to say about speed alway favor control over speed.Speed is the result of control.Without though hatching can flatten a drawing.Think about how to make the hatching follow the form direction.For example on the neck it should wrap around the neck the neck it not flat.

Hey there Irish, it's good to see you back at it, how've you been?
I like what you've done in the 4th-last image. There's a lot more purpose to the hatching and linework, and the features have a nuance of style about them that's really appealing. The other sketches seem over-relaxed like you weren't thinking about placement and were just feeling for the form.
Can't wait to see more man.

I think you would benefit more from a longer studies. Even though you have small output but if you understood everything you did it would retain better.
Don't be shy and message me if you have any questions.
