Really the best thing you could do for your skills right now is use references and practice. So long as you learn and develop, posting and reflecting are of minor relevance, at your current level, your art might even discourage more practiced artists from commenting.
We're all afraid of our past, I guess.
Anyway, the figure and landscape need to be planned out more, and you need to display perspective and depth, it's scary for a couple months, then your work quality skyrockets. So next time, take a simple brush and plan out the horizon, the figure, the other layers of the scene, make eqch object quite distinct (use edge lighting and backlights to do this). Black and white are all you need for planning, use reference photos to gather ideas.
On the master study, it's a good show of your brush control, but you're still afraid of colour. I am too, I just hide it better. Check out some of the portraits at cghub, the pros in particular may jnspire you.
