It's great to see you doing so many studies! I'd say that the values are a little all over the place at the moment - try breaking what you're seeing down into simpler, more abstract shapes first. Our brains tend to "autocorrect" value differences so you might think that certain areas are darker or lighter than they actually are if you're just comparing them to other areas of the image. Perhaps do a bunch of black and white studies, as well - eliminate the confusion of color.

I hope that helps!
