I have this problem, my drawings are boring, they arent just technically poor but also boring, I never draw people from the back, the side le any other weird ir unusual angle, it's always 3/4 or front, why? Is not like i'm a newfag, i'm 4 years into the Game and still doing the same poses over and over and over, the same facial expressions, and somehow I hold a living on commissions.

You've stagnated and become jaded. Start doing art for your own pleasure again, start experimenting and taking courses/learning again.

Commissions by normies are bad to try new things since they aren't artists. Either you do personal work or work for a big studio that requires you to go beyond your comfort zone.

Thats what crushes my will, I have this giant gap beetwen skills and imagination, sometimes I get good ideas that in the propper hands would result in some artstation front page shit, but on mine are just another garbage forgetable work, sometimes not even that but ugly atrocities.
Commissions eat my whole time so I don't have much time to study, I draw 9 hours day to meet my bills, that make me create this formulas and bad habits, I still don't know how to draw hands, feets, don't know how to draw humans, but I have to keep going, all I have is pencil mileage because commissions.
It's driving me insane and killing my mood

That does sound boring as fuck. You must've stagnated yourself by staying in your comfort zone for 4 fucking years. Drawing characters in dynamic poses and angles is the funnest part

You might want to look into expanding your visual library. Pick some photos of people with poses and expressions you've never drawn before and study them. That way when you sit down to draw from imagination you'll have more ideas available to you.

Learn then, Jesus Christ anon. You sound like your drawing from muscle memory instead of from fundamental understanding. Go back to the basics, learn it all correctly and you'll be happier and more successful. Also maybe find another job in the mean time, sounds like living on what your doing now is killing you and your passion for art.
