Hello, nice sketchbook I am enjoying your recent sketches.
I think you probably already know this but I feel structure is the number one thing holding you back at this point. I suggest you really focus and think about the functionality of things and how they sit in space. This is very important because it is linked directly to how well you render. If you cannot see an object as a volume in space it is much harder to apply light and value to that object. For example, I'm sure you could render a sphere to near perfection. The reason you can is because you have a clear understanding of that sphere as a form and how it exists in 3d space. perhaps all you need to do is slow down, take a step back and really analyse your image and the shapes within before going into the heavy rendering phase.
I hope that helps!
