What you need is an eye for the good, helpful drawings that can teach you one thing. Just one thing. Each of these instructors have their strengths and their weaknesses, because nobody's master of all. If you study from one source, you're bound to fixate on distortions, unhelpful quirks of style. So it's best to study the work and not the teacher. Save the singles and the hits, not the entire discography (unless you really like it).
If you go into a study of a teacher's drawing with the belief you have to like the drawing as a whole, you're sort of missing its value. I've studied each of these, because I saw something good and useful in them. Hampton's shit does look pretty awful a lot of the time, and it can be hard to extract practical information from. But every now and then he knocks it out of the park like with his arm abstraction here. Same for Bammes and the sense of weight bearing in the leg here, Hogarth and the knee volumes, the sense of volume in the Vilppu arm. You save those images, and you don't copy them, but apply them to an analysis of the real thing, and to your own work.
Be like an omnivore consuming every tasty thing.
