CoreyH: Thanks! Yeah, I thought so too. 
jsel: I agree-- That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for your input on it.
And thanks-- Gotta work hard! There's plenty of time for personal work. I wouldn't even know how to do more than doodling really, haha. Any tips?
VoodooMama: Thanks! Yeah, I love looking at different reference material as well. You can piece it together in your own way, that way, and fill in the gaps that one artist may be missing. Coming at it from one textbook is like looking at an arm from only one angle, I figure. Oh, thanks a lot. I'm starting to get lazy, haha. Hope I can be as good as you one day.
CTrow: Thanks a lot! I'm starting to see them turning in space, which is really, really cool. But, I'm not quite there yet. (Never will be, I guess-- Art is a continuing journey!)

31 hours 11 minutes/ 10, 000 hours
Memory/Imagination arm/hands: 63/88
Referenced Arm/Hands: 84/88 (missed marking one of them in the drawing)
So, I'm really close to my goal now! It's not really such a rush to get it done, but I'm kind of getting sick of arms and hands, haha. I think I'll do some torsos to put those arm/shoulder muscles into perspective, maybe. Or maybe I'll do more arm bones and a more thorough anatomical analysis. I actually do lots of references that I erase after, and some memories that I erase as well. I also have done lots of hand/arm studies in my physical sketchbook, but I'm not counting them for this goal. They're just happy extras.
Also, I committed myself to doing this coming week's CHOW, so that's super exciting. I'm kinda intimidated, but I figure I might as well try.
Annnd on the end date of my goal (September 20th), around that time, anyway, this environmental design mentorship thing starts up. Like 46 of us have signed up, right? How cool is this gonna be?! I'm looking forward to stretching different brain muscles, and having assignments will be great motivation.
It's gonna be tough for Amit to do so many personalized crits, I think, but I hope that I get at least a couple of sentences of feedback, haha. But, even if there's no pro-tips, I'll be happy just to have the experience of trying something new. I've never really done environments before!
So, lots of things to look forward to!
Think I'm gonna do a colour portrait for fun, just to break up the monotony of doing so many of the same thing, but we'll see. I'm kinda tired/scattered today. I'll do my best.
