Hey nice progress so far man, I think you're getting a good grasp on colour and the edges in your paintings are looking alot better in some of these recent ones.
To add onto what Crackedskull said, yeah try sculpture studies for form, even better if you can go to a museum and draw them from life. I'd also reccomend reading some books as well, Loomis is good for general proportions and the like but Hampton and bridgman are great for getting down the form.
Hampton also has a very good approach to gesture drawing as well, helped me improve on that alot. Bridgman is a bit advanced and confusing I think, however from what i've studied from it,
it seems like it'd complement hamptons anatomy approach well.
Anyway good work so far and keep practicing man :D.
