'Sup Nick, welcome to daggers and a great start to your sketchbook.
You've already done more in the way of colour and light than when I make an effort. My only suggestion, apart from the usual anatomy and perspective study, is to consider form and texture of all materials. Right now all elements of your paintings look like they're made of the same element, same texture. You've highlighted metal more than other parts of the images but consider how sharply light flares off the surface edge and hair, how light and shadow are used to define it, same goes with fabric.
Something to study, keep it up!
