Just some of my fruitless attempts to try and improve my skill. Trying to copy the work of more seasoned artists.
I SEE the values and stuff, but I'm not LEARNING anything!!! :'(
Oh well.

Because pencil-ink-color is so ingrained into my brain over the years that I simply can't translate this "painterly" style into my own work. When I do try to make a painting of my own (without actual "line art") it ends up looking like a complete mess, or I spent upwards of ten hours before I get even a small art of the painting to look right.
I can't seem to translate my studies into my ACTUAL work.

Then maybe continue this line of painterly images until you get it fleshed out more. add you old style slowly into this instead of the other way around?
The longer you use your fixed method the harder it will be to leave that well trodden path...yes i am preaching out of a very deep and comfortable groove that i am stuck in as well....though lat i recall you're doing this for a living, so you should have the time needed to invest into the uncomfortable exploration instead of the instant gratification comfort zone. <.<°

This looks pretty interesting and it's a departure from what you usually do so you can see why you THINK you're not learning anything.
But I think you are.
My suggestion? Go look for PDF's on some torrent sites for a magazine called Fantasy Artist (sample issue here http://www.rlslog.net/fantasy-artis.....ssue-n-39-p2p/) there are tons of ideas, techniques and articles to get you motivated to get you where you need to be.
I have faith in you lapin.. you're a VERY talented artist and I know you can create something spectacular.
