Thanks anon. I don't expect that the video would be useful. The line-spam comes from the fact I refuse to use stabilizers and I just can't get long flowing lines in digital. On paper it's much easier and more accurate and you can just hover your pencil to test the line before drawing.
As for the advice, adding to the other anon, I think perspective, anatomy, the fundamentals are good, but drawing isn't about wrapping 3D wireframes around things, you're not a machine and you can't draw like one. Drawing from life is great because life is always accurate but also because you have to work with your brain first, and less with formal perspective and construction. These things can get you so caught up that you lose a feel for the thing you're drawing. Croquis is great because it's more about feeling the forms intuitively than calculating the perfect volumes on paper. I've seen a lot of people grind themselves away on fundies with this idea of improving fast so they can draw their things but never forget to relax and just draw things you like, and study as you apply to those things. First draw something you love, then spot the problems, and study in application to those problems. Being relaxed when you draw also helps you with confidence which is a big part of getting clean linework.
I recommend drawing on paper. Digital is handy and convenient but it's very bad for tactile feedback (maybe it's not but I have a potato computer).
