I really enjoy your drawing (I even actually enjoyed your old noodly style, to be honest) and it is really impressive that you've come so far. As I've told you many times, the key of improvement is partly looking for new things to do and not to take drawing seriously. If you see drawing as a fun thing where you can fuck up and still enjoy it, then you're in the right track! Because development and improvement comes faster when you aren't forced to do it and are not afraid to make mistakes.
Making mistakes and doing poor art is the way of improving so even if you feel your art isn't 'there' yet, don't forget that each piece you do will point to that direction.
I tend to draw something I like, then something that I don't really know how to do. I find it's easier for me to focus this way, because I can draw my usual stuff and challenge myself later with something completely different: I won't stagnate, or make the learning process a chore.
On another note (still related to the post), if you make a bad art, don't throw it away or despise it. Keep it and try it later. It'll amaze you how much you've improved (much like the pic you just posted!) Showing us progress is the only way to improve, because an amazing artist who never shares his art is basically not an artist.
