Nice going Wing :).
The whole thing about drawing with a pen as I understand it is to get a person to really think about the mark they are going to make before they make it and not about stopping them from correcting their mistakes.
If you are starting to really think about your mark making then pen drawing is working for you.
If you are not going back and correcting your mistakes then pen drawing is doing you harm.
With your Loomis studies - try to copy Loomis's work more accurately - I think that will help you download some of his visual library into your brain so that your work will start to look more realistic.
Take your time and maybe focus on a very small area at a time - maybe understand the general shape of an arm or a leg for example. Repeat it from memory over and over.
Hope that helps.
Keep it going Wing!
