Hey man, I just started a new job, too. The first few nights I was exhausted, because I wasn't used to standing for so long. Now I barely feel it. Hopefully you end up liking it!
Your stuff is starting to look really promising, I especially like the male legs on the latest post.
If you don't mind, I think it bears repeating that it's best to unify the large masses of tone as much as you can. Although I see a lot of improvement on your painting, you tend to kind of both blur things, and include hard shapes breaking up shadows. I can show you on the dude.
Light and shadow separated and massed together
By just adding the intermediary tones, the edge between light and shadow is blunted and it starts to look solid, even without any highlights.
