    Why not invest a little more time? It'll go a long way, maybe you don't have much time, but you're progress would be more substantial, however the most recent studies are looking good
    ...the imperfections make it interesting...

    man.. just keep going.. going and going.

    Draw more from life.. quick life gestures, sketches from cafe.. everywhere you go. If you do not go out AT ALL, draw everything in your home and window. and do not close yourself by academical anatomy only.

    More!!!

    The more the draw, the more you learn, the more you can remember. Think of it this way: Are you drawing frequently enough and in great enough quantity that you really feel like you're absorbing information and learning something new? If you come back to something you were studying a few months ago, do you feel like you actually did enough drawing that you wouldn't be starting from step 1 again?

    Go crazy with it and do what you can!

    I would attempt to vary the media that you're using in your gestures to see what kinds of results you get. I've noticed that you do all of your figure drawings in what appears to be a blue ball-point pen, and I think the results you're getting are limited in turn. It may be worth it to pick of a lead holder, or if you've already got a good set of pencils, and then try developing your figures in different ways. You're developing the figures in fluid motions, and while pens are good for developing fluid lines, they lack the variation needed to bring things like shape and volume to a gesture drawing. Meaning, your figure drawings will lack expression. Try getting a lead holder, and then get nasty with that thing. Apply your strokes at different angles and pressures to develop the form.

    Thumbs up

    Right, blue ball-point pen I never thought of It that way, so i did change it to lead holder and later to 4B, see the results and c&c.

    With the gestures try to do them all in 10 marks an under. You can change the number, but it will teach you economy. Also try to do them without lifting your pencil (continuous contour drawing).

    Also think about how your can group shapes in the silhouette together to simplify. Check out Matthew Arch's youtube videos.
