Solid rocks (pun intended)! You seem to be getting a good variety of studies in, I don't have much to say besides keep up the good work + a couple of software tips in case you use PS to extract more knowledge, more quickly, from the studies.
When you want to push the light in a piece and don't want to accidentally ruin it, two soft light layers work wonders. Use a lasso tool for speed, and ctrl+h to hide the selection border so it won't distract you,keeping in mind the gray in the middle of white <> black range equals to 0; It won't change anything. Example:
It's also possible to quickly push the pose by using the same lazy lasso tool technique, but with Transform > Warp. This is not something you'll want to do every time or it'll become a vice, but it's useful for quick corrections and acclimating yourself to seeing your art with different flows and steeper angles, because sometimes they're scary.
