yo haze,
I really like your ink-drawings and the fact that you take time to sculpt stuff to study it. I did the same thing twice now (I can still count it, which means I don't do it enough ;) and for me it was a way to learn anatomy and how muscles attached to different places on the arm.
but the big problem I saw for me was, that I am not a good sculptor and studying from a wrong sculpt maybe isn't helping in the right way. I don't say that you shouldn't do it, but just keep that in mind. i.e. if you sculpt a skull, really try to get the shapes right, before you learn from it.
also I feel like you concentrate on outlines too much, except for those 30sec head studies, where you seem to have a fixed workflow (circle, midline, features...) take a look at this:

he is going: gesture, 3D block out, details. To me that is the best way to know where to put lights and shadows and to have a solid drawing. It takes time to adjust to this and I am by no means good at it and it can mess with your creativity since more of your brain's capacity is put into construction and not creating/designing, but in the end I am sure it is a great tool to have in the toolbox.
other than that keep it up
p.s. I like turtles too
