It has to be said that I am quite angry at myself currently, my drawing skills are so inconsistent. It angers me when I get lazy with drawing, and then when I need to produce some good conceptual art It's all over the place.

I really want to become a better draftsman, but on top of everything else I barely find the time to really practice every single day. So right now I really don't know what I can do to improve that aspect of my work.
But alas, we can't be good at everything. Here are the concepts as I produce them:
