I'm liking the looseness of your portrait above.
I was actually just about to ask if you vary your brush, as the gestures you've been doing seem really loose and fast and with only the hard round. I understand that they are fast, but sometimes being fast all the time doesn't necessarily mean that it's accurate. I can tell you spent more time on the gestures of the newest post because they look a little more refined, but in that same vein they seem more accurate as well.
Perhaps instead of doing speed paints like those two at the top of this post, really sit down and take your time with them. Really search out those values. You've sort of hinted at a very good fundamental composition tool in the greyscale one: Placing your darkest darks next to your lightest lights. I'd say keep on doing that.
Anyway, enough rambling. I just wanted to say again, continue on. :3
