I tried rendering a bit. It isn't polished; I just wanted to get a rough preliminary render in, and see what I'm doing alright and what I need to work on.

Looks good so far...you just want to be mindful of your darkest darks and lights lights and mid values and make those shapes pop define and refine. We start mid like 50 percent so we don't get too dark or too light too fast. I think you could benefit from some value studies from old masters just take a photo with good composition and anatomy and make it greyscale in photoshop and use just a square or round hard brush and do a thumbnail value study quick 20 minute studies, and if you want maybe one at higher res where you really go in but challenge yourself one hard brush to rule them all:) (Lord of Rings reference) Also just doing this with simple primitive shapes is great practice as well.
