I'm back long enough to update! Woot. 
But, not enough to post up stuff, haha. I promise I will as soon as I have consistent internet.
Meat: Yeah, I totally agree-- Both willpower and patience can be trained, and you can get rusty at both if you don't keep practicing them. Same as with anything, really. I've managed to find an interesting method-- With the loss of the internet I've become more productive. This may be against what most people say is the right way of doing things, but I've found that it helps to start a few different projects and switch between them.
I'm studying faces on one page, doing a screen cap study on another, doing a composition study on another, and doodling in my sketchbook next to me. I find this to be my tempo, and it's working for me-- I'm not overly enthusiastic about it, so I don't think I'll burn out. I just find that I need to switch focus a lot with my ADHD-- I don't think that this means that my workflow is better or that I'm understanding quicker this way-- It just appears to be necessary to work longer periods of time. It may actually mean I'm understanding slower-- But, at least I'm moving forward.
To Vornag: Nah, I used a reference for the prophet, I'm afraid. No lighting learned yet.

75/10,000. Just a guess. Could be a lot more. Going to start timing again.
