Nice job with the studies, those are looking great and they will really help you improve. I think with the colorstudies, I don't know if you have done it, but you should maybe check out some actual colors from the reference after you have painted the picture. There are some differencies with colortones even if the form is about correct.
But anyhow nice going, keep it up dude!

cool, you are doing all the right stuff. Keep it up!
Hey,
Great amount of studies and sketches you've got going.
One thing I'd comment on is the color in your flesh tones.
You mentioned color picking which is not a bad idea, but don't be afraid to take the color pick and adjust it a bit to have more red/orangish hue. I say this because some of the skin is coming off really goldish.
Keep up the pace.

really nice studyes here!
if i may, i'll tell you a little something that helped me a lot:
i see you make a thon of photo copies, and your rendering is getting pretty good! but i'd recommend you to change up from photos to master copies. i think that you'll grow a lot more with those!
start up with velazquez, crop some of his figures or portraits, and copy them. try to think what he was looking for, see how he solved his problems. how he got the skin tone right, how he rendered shape, what did he push back, what did he gave more attention? look for that in the masters work and apply that to you, see what works for you!
i believe you'll benefit from it. see ya later!
