Recent Stuff (or, MD's Finally Improving? Really? MD?)

I put up some recent sketches up somewhere, but now I'm putting them here...
I finally took some damn initiative and started to improve my drawings. I did these two sheets first, sheets of men. Drawing guys is hard... especially if for years you've been drawing females... but damn it, I don't know why it took so long for me to do this... There are a couple more like this...
This one just above me, some of them were supposed to be of perspective.

Later, I did some more sketching, and... I might be on to something...
I can't say if things are coming together or now, but these are looking far better than what I have been doing. In fact, I took a liking to the one in bottom right...
I had some fun coloring this. I might do stuff this way from now on, with the sketchiness and the Photoshop and the all that stuff...
I didn't alter the linework in any way, however I did adjust the brightness and contrast so that it looked less... sketchy. I then colored and shaded as usual, but this time, I ran the shading through a Gaussian blur in order to try and smooth it out a bit.

That's much of what I've been doing lately. There might be more.
