yeah, but still, I give a drawing a time it needs, even if it means taking 2 years to do. My prices are expensive therefore so if they don't want it, I'll have room for my own ideas, plus they REALLY have to want to have my work and I'll try to blend own ideas with theirs, but I'll put out my best and will not rush it up to a "just sufficient. But I can afford it, cause it's not my work, so it's EZ talking that way

that's a good attitude!
i'm also too impatient and loose the relation when i need to much time for a drawing...you see, there's a lot to learn for me...

You'll never stop learning. I work alot with my mind and try to bring that towards a more convincing level, with the understanding that is found in realism. It's the intellectual display to get great freedom on paper in a more naked artists style, but it misses out nuances sometimes that is so important to make it look extremely convincing. I'm trying to get that cliff down. That is why my Rose mcGowan drawing is the 1st big step to draw directly from what I can see fromout my head, with the understanding. It's not original, but a milestone to what I truely want.

oh, drawing from pure imagination is really difficult! everytime i try to draw something out of my mind i completely loose myself...
i'm too afraid to draw not realistic enough...to draw the wrong lighting and so on...
it's a curse and i really need to relax myself...^^
ok, i need to sleep now. but it was very nice to talk to you! we'll meet again soon!

So reality-must-die is falling for realism LOL 
When I work fromout my mind I'm trying to get the proportions down as quick as possible. The shading and filling is done fromout my own understanding and observations. I can remember aggressively a daunting amount of scenarios until it flows in a natural feeling. But even with a reference, lightfall is difficult and I wouldn't do it much better WITH a reference. I'm strange with this and it's very uncommon, but I know one thing: I'm WAY not fullfletched yet. Like I've said, this is gonna be my first serious attempt to draw what's in my imagination.
My problem is that my head is in advance ahead developed to my skills; I can potentially do more then my technique allows. Mostly technique is the first thing to master, but I'm not in that position, but I don't care too much, cause it will come with experience and time 
Don't worry about the realism factor, just head for the balance and originallity; it's your power! I do wonder (as in I'm interested) HOW you make your works; are those spontaneous ideas as you progress? Or do you have a pretty good idea what you want?

"My problem is that my head is in advance ahead developed to my skills"
thats exactly my problem too! i have the picture in my mind with all the lights and shadows and forms but when i try to draw it its like a snow storm in my head which disturbes most of the view to my vision. so i have to take one reference photo after another until i think it is nearly perfect...but as dalΓ once said: "don't be afraid of perfection - you will never reach it."
"are those spontaneous ideas as you progress? Or do you have a pretty good idea what you want?"
actually its both. i often think about myself, my fears, my mistakes and then, suddenly theres a picture popping out in my head. and i know exactly "this is the picture which describes exactly this feeling". and then i sketch this vision very roughly and leave it alone for a few weeks/months. i look at it from time to time to add or cut some things and when i think its done i start to draw. thats the usual process. i always need a lot of mental preparation. i could hardly draw spontanious. i need to arrange everything in my head.
how do you do it?

Well, it's more that I understand things and where the key lies, but When I get that out, I just don't understand the direct translation; the "walk". Like teeth and toothgum. Sometimes it's hard, cause it is like a movie sometimes. And just like you said, another image can throng up that causes a phenomenom called cross-minding. That is said that one image can dominate over another and you haven't got control over that. Knowing that, I'm a step ahead, but the problems stays nonetheless.
How do I do it? Well, I take inspiration, how things look in real life, making strong analogies, like your entity relates instantly to Phantom monster
When I've shaped the basic idea in my head I'm able to transforn it, and that image I can freeze it, manipulate it, and remember it again. It can take a few seconds, but it last
for years!
then I'm making a sketch as a pre-shot, to test where I possible will have difficulties with. Then I nail down proportions really fast and particularly the parts I relate distance to, like eyes. I draw them advanced so I get a good estimation, then it is like watching to my screen, but then in my head
There is also a dubious gift. I have a very aggressive and powerful memory, but I can't control the rate and the perfomal usage; it's nominal-potential, not dynamic. When I'm in a rush, I can generate such a powerful image, it breaks me down and I can see it in front of my eyes, so it is like tracing then. It last rarely longer then 15 minutes, and it drains me very quick. But the power and freedom is beyond reckoning! Sometimes you see "hits"/areas in my drawings that are really solid and accurate. These are those rushes and I can control it in that way, but it is psychologically very heavy.
So that is about it in a nutshell. But alot is feeling too 
Thanks, now I'm gonna take care of my little boy, we'll speak soon
