if your problem is a lack of time, make time for it! but if you really can't squeeze more drawing time out of your day and you're just feeling stressed when drawing, relax. this is not a race. get it done right, no matter how long it takes. next time, it'll be faster but only if you learned something last time. so don't rush it, nothing is gained that way. 

That is very true. Been taking some time to finally slow down and actually think. The brain was still in overdrive mode from college, and I think I managed to beat it into submission finally!

For getting better at lineart, delve deep into learning perspective. good lines are just lines that show forms correctly. And if you wanna hit a certain style, don't be ashamed to study someones lineart for style. analize the lineweights, where they are and why and what else you can notice, write it down. you'll be surprised how easy it is to copy someones lineart style. but after that, give it your own tweaks. your taste will develop over time and you'll get more conscious of your own taste the more you draw and so will your own style. (not that i have a style yet, but i feel like it's coming slowly)

This seems to be the thing I need to work on! Very much so. And I have studied a few different people's lineart styles, but only haphazardly. I think I'll step that up into a more focused study soon though.

Thanks so much for the advice! And your new stuff is fantastic by the way!
