How do you do think technique? the sort of scratchy brush strokes. i know it has to do with the mixer brush but i cant remember what? help!

All my life I was doing observational drawing and I can't do shit from imagination.

What should I do to learn it fast

I don't know what to draw in order to improve. I look at a reference thread and it's either something terrible or something I've done before and it would not add much to my skills. But when I do find an image, I work on it a lot of hours, I never do quick studies (it means I can move on). Where do I find references that actually help in getting better? What should I draw in order to improve (generally speaking)?

What's so good about Craig Mullins? Every time someone mentions him, they talk about how good and cool he is. What's the deal?
