Hey! Welcome to the Daggers.
From what I can see you have some interesting ideas and your compositions are pretty neat! Your color choice is a bit hit or miss at the moment but I think your main problem lies on volume and light value. It's pretty hard to judge from speedpaintings though.
Either way, the course of action I would take if I were you would be to relax for a bit and not to limit yourself in terms of time. Try to get things right first, then try to get there faster. You might risk getting bad habits carved in stone. Some black and white studies should correct some problems for now. Then move on to color studies.
If you haven't already, one great thing to do is look around at other people sketchbooks and see exactly what they are doing to move forward. Look at it with a critical eye and thing about what you need to do yourself.
Hope this is useful to you and that I don't sound too harsh. Happy new year!
