The Sketchy Sketchbook of ....Sketchyness!!
YOOKA-LAYLEEEEEEEEEEE :D-! Yeeeeeeaaaaaa!!
Does this mean you're a fan of Banjo-Kazooie, Trigger?! 

I really like the balls you have with studyin' drapery and folds and stuff O_O seriously, you have balls, I should give this a shot!

Hmm, you know, the value changes in your studies are quite subtle... being familiar with low-key values will come in handy in your finished pieces I'll tell ya that; because all the masterful paintings have subtle value shifts in common. Though at the same time, putting in some contrast where necessary will make your images pop! 
E.g.



I did a thing for you.
Just tryin' to show you the difference adding a little bit of contrast in your studies/images will do for your work. Only used the hard and soft brush (hard for harder edges, soft for softer and a mix for larger areas. The level adjustment (L.A) was used to darken the background of the image to make your whites pop. Take into account edges in your studies/paintings to really get the ball rolling :D I'd recommend checkin' out this glorious post for more insight: Muddy Colours: Edges ) 

But yeah, having a 1-2-3 read (as shown in the two cubes down the bottom) is what determines plane changes in your paintings. So for example, if you zoom out of this pic I posted, or squinted, the cube on the right would = more readable than the cube on the left, purely because the values are more distinct than the values used on the other cube.

Anyway, I hope my feedback helps ya out in some way.

I'll check ya later, keep up the hard, fearless work, Triggerpigking!
