I hope you don't get angry or anything but I would recommend that you keep making LPs and dump those sigs. Your LPs are really good but those sigs are like from different person.
And I have something to ask: You use bamboo tablet right? Is it hard to use? Do you find it usefull? What is wacom graphire 4 ?

first: thanks everyone for their reply ^_^
Thee_UniQue: they aren't better, they are different,you got a complete different style, so you can't really compare them, it's all about what you like and what you dislike =)

Thanks.
that's a graphire 4: wish i had a newer one though ( cintiq ) but well ,no money...
hard to use?: well, i got my tablet since 2,5 years now, before i got it i thought "yeah i must be really badass with that thing, it must be like drawing on paper" but my first tests looked like some kind of 6-year-old-kid drawings... in the end it is like every other thing in the world, you need to learn. it's pretty frustrating at the beginning, but after some training you'll see your improvement very fast.
usefull? :hell yeah! it's the best thing that ever happened to me! but you need to know what you wanna do, a tablet is only for drawing, it's totally useless for signatures (well exept you draw your siggies)
but can you explain me what "LP" means? think i know it, but better get the 100% correct description ,hehe
and no, i'm not gonna dumb my signatures, they are part of my process and i learned some things from them. i won't do any signatures in the future(and these signatures are 1year+), but neither dumbing them
ps:why should i get angry? i'm a very calm person if i talk about my/others art

I love that face you're working on. I've had my eye on the Bamboo. I just haven't pulled the trigger because I dont know that I would use it that often. I mostly make sigs although I haven't made a new one since this time last year (busy mostly), but considering I'll be in college come next fall I might have a lot of time to use it. I would be a complete novice so, is there any advice you could give me as to whether or not to pick it up considering I would be going into it with skills equal to expert stick-figure drawing?

well,like i said, a tablet won't make you godlike from one day to another.
all you need for drawing is patience and the most important part : fun you picture can look bad, (well, is there a definition for "bad" in the art sector?) but if you had fun drawing it, you reached your goal.
but i can't tell you weather buying it or not,only you can say if it is worth buying for you.

I think I'll buy that one if I buy one at all. But since I've always liked hand-drawing I thought it would be fun to use.

Dumbo, a piece of advice from someone who's watched many new artist quickly go out and buy tablets with out thinking. Reevluate how you are going to use it, if you come to the conclusion that yes, indeed you will have a need for it then buy the Wacom Intuos. It will surely cost more then the bamboo but believe me--the bamboo is a "$100 out the window," kind of tablet if you use it rigorously. Even if you can only afford the smallest Intuos version it will only cost $70-80 more (depends on your country).
Ultimately like Dante said it comes down to your choice and how you are planning on working with your art. Don't make rash decision in hopes of obtaining something that's not there.

Well I'm not going to buy it in near future anyway. But we'll see. Maybe I find it useful later on.

Wow actually long time ago since i posted something here. Well maybe due to many resistance from my PC for about 2 months and some study work over the time.
well since i was bored and wanted to upload something here we go(ps. i suck at pencil drawings):
older a little bit "expressionistic" study:
Some emotion studies:
And some prominent faces, trying to capture the main structure: for all who don't know (or can't see) who they are:
