I don't ever seem to see you draw males. Do you find drawing them difficult?
I used to have an excruciatingly hard time drawing female figures, they would always look dude-ish for some reason. They'd either have broad man shoulders or the face shading looked like 5 O'clock shadow or the hands were too big. Always something. On the flip side, I once had a girlfriend that would draw girlish looking muscle dudes. No matter how hard she tried to draw The Rock, he'd wind up looking like he's lacing up for a ballet. The Undertaker would look like a sad malnourished man (and maybe he was underneath his tough exterior). I wonder if most artists secretly have a tough time drawing the opposing gender. I don't think I do anymore, but I used to.
Either way, you're at a pretty good level right now, and a year from now you'll probably refine and improve upon your workflow and technique. As an artist myself, I'd have a hard time speed drawing all that.
Keep practicing, keep studying, keep doing what you do. Take care.
It's not so much that I struggle with male forms, I just find girls much more fun to draw.
Here's a few of the males I've drawn overtime as reference.
