It's good to see you're studying value in such a way, getting away from details and being more efficient with my time is something most of us struggle with and starting here is a great thing. Joseph is on the money about the 3 value thing (as he should since he's such a great artist) as you're studying you have to realise that you're still juggling a couple of fundamentals in the bg shape and composition.

When you have the time you should check out Marco bucci vids specifically these 2 for now:

Also the squinting thing I learned from Chris Legaspi even though Joseph did a great job explaining it I recommend this as well, why not

One last thing if you can try working small... I mean you probably zoom out to make these anyway but I mean try posting them as thumbnails so we can see what you see, theres no reason to have them that large if you aren't rendering to be honest.

I can see the steady progress in your work, you're getting there keep it up!
