hey Eru,
cool to see you working through those fundamentals. I can only agree what has been said, try to use a bigger brush first and work your way down to smaller brushes. But that is only on thing.

They will help you if you apply the things they talk about.
When I look at the value study of the dude I see many issues, but the biggest one is your shape-relationship. The values are off too, but you should first work on having a solid linedrawing with the proportions correct. That is what I mean by shape-relationship. I attached a small sketch of the same dude. I used a big round brush with opacity and flow set to pen pressure. after this I would refine the outline more and more and make it thinner. then, when the outline is nice, add value.
When your dude has another shoulder width, the head is on a different location, etc. the values won't save it. Do linedrawings of people and then values.
all that being said, we all get ahead of ourselves and we all do mistakes. Just never give up and it will come.
Keep it up.
