@JosephCow Thanks! Yeah regarding the simple shapes, I got tempted and couldn't resist... I tried to keep it in mind but will be focusing on it more next time.
@Noone Thank you for the time you dedicated giving me feedback and whatsmore giving a try to one of the studies I did. It is quite impressive too
You're absolutely right about the arbitrary value bucket. I think I saw or heard this somewhere years ago and it became a bad habbit. I should absolutely pick values that match the reference. My frog brain didn't understand that for a reason. You're very right too about the composition/shape placement. I tried to spend 10 to 20 minutes max on these thumbnails. This isn't in any way an excuse but my eye and hand aren't sharp enough (YET!) to be able to manage both of this aspects in so "little" timing. Nonetheless, that's something I had in mind and I think I managed to do OK with the first 2 studies. But yeah, 3rd one is a mess. I have the feeling that the original art is full of spots where the eye is tricked by relative values and shifts, and I couldn't handle that very well.
@darktiste Thank you for your feedback. I worked quite small, in fact, and tried not to zoom in too much, in order not to focus on details. I'd say I spent 75% of the time painting with the art being around a 12 cm*9 cm frame. But I don't think it really matters to be honest.
