Don't be sorry to show your ellipse sketches etc - I find this kind of stuff interesting as well. And makes me less sulky if I am doing mine when I know that I'm not alone :p
Also, nothing wrong with scribbling to find designs - happy little accidents are the best :) As for improving the visual library - why not start with a general design direction, or 'feeling' you want to develop your character towards, sketch some ideas and then look up/research related topics as soon as you feel like you reached your limits? I find that works better than just randomly looking up stuff, because it sticks better when applied.
Keep it up :)
