Alex, I like the variety you chose in the subject matter and types of music. There is, however, a fundamental problem with your process. I think the marks you make reflect a desire to make an accurate contour drawing, as opposed to a gesture drawing that reflects the basic gesture and pose. I would rather see you concentrate on forms, proportion and gesture than making THAT specific image into a drawing. Loosen up and accept the idea that you will have a lot of scribbled, construction marks in your drawings. You can make darker marks to establish a more definitive contour. When drawing a guitar neck, ask yourself: "What is that, but a rectangle?" So don't focus on making THAT guitar neck, but the idea of a guitar neck based off that particular pose.
