Thx. And yeah that guy is cool as hell, somehow random, but still cool. thankfully once I draw a decent character I don't forget it

as far as my "style" goes I do everything by imagination and almost never draw with a reference. that's why everything I do is never "perfect" or something like that, it's very approximative and it's fine by me, I like it like that. Doesn't mean I never look at references, I look at them sometimes but never in the context of drawing them. It helps me really get it into my head instead of just copying it multiple times until it gets in.

here's an example, the faces I did just now. I never drew faces/expressions from references, but I know approximately what an expression looks like because every time I see it in a movie, or when I look in a mirror I pick it up and remember them. Everybody can do that, people just don't think about doing it.

You'd be impressed by what you can learn from watching a movie and pausing to look at a character's expression, light bouncing here and there etc. so start from that, start really looking at stuff and analyse it, even if quickly, it stays.
