I have to say, you spent your four years of drawing quite well! May I suggest some advice on your years further down the road, so far you've been doing well honing your rendering skills and contour method of drawing. What I can suggest is to do something outside your comfort zone, so far you've been drawing tons of portraits but I've barely seen you draw figures, as well as other things such as vehicles and such stuff. It probably does not interest you but variety is good for improvement. You can also try taking a step back, try to ditch rendering completely for your practices(you can do rendering for your finished stuff if you'd like, since it is your art) and focus on your lines as well as structure, construction and perspective. Even though you won't be drawing portraits doing so, once you return to it your drawings will be more solid and proportional since believe it or not the skull could be broken down into basic shapes such as spheres and other primitives. Design related programs normally look for this instead of rendering skills as your ability to break down objects into basic shapes will allow you to retain a somewhat accurate memory of how an object looks in three dimensions and allow you to combine them later into your own design. If you need any insight or suggestion on where to start I could always suggest some books and if you are planning to attend a design related program I suggest you take a look at Feng Zhu's videos [link], he is very famous in the entertainment design industry and is a great teacher too and has his own school. keep at it!
