I think you should try a grey scale painting for oils next time because it seems your values aren't clear, and maybe youre not calculating well with the value placement, hence why everything looks splotchy and rough, when most females (the ideal rather) have very smooth skin. so ya thats my reccomendation is to do values only and see how smooth you can get the skin texture and how intelligently you can place values and edges ;)

Whenever i have a neck crick, i just start running and my spine magically adjusts and i literally feel the stiffness disappear, same with weightlifting. Good chairs can help a lot too, but like i said exercise is gonna help 70% of it. You can have the comfiest chair in the world and youre still gonna hurt after being still too long.

For your (cyclist) piece up there, I think it's really lacking in depth; all the elements are flat and or in profile, and i think this sketch fixes that problem but im interested to see how well you end up painting it, because if you can render it as well as the cyclist you'll be in good shape ;)
