Cool stuff. I love your value transitions. I think [3D] form and gesture is a weaker point in some of these, in the sense that: your shading makes the form read, but the lines themselves don't have much turn, as far as form goes.
I'd like to see more of a focus on plain lineart, specifically lineart that has a focus on shape and form and structure- something like Bridgeman, I think, could be a good asset for you. You're already good at rendering, but I don't want you to use that as a crutch, like "Oh, I don't need to focus on the drawing so much, because my rendering will carry the piece."
Do you post your studies anywhere? I could see your stuff on movie posters and in galleries though, it looks very classical.

1. Use the biggest brush possible for a given passage.
2. Paint large shapes first, followed by small shapes.
3. Save your tonal and chromatic accents until the last.
4. Try to soften any edge that doesn’t need to be sharp.
5. Take time to get the center of interest right.
Or, the briefer version: (B.L.A.S.T.)
Big brushes.
Large to small.
Accents last.
Soften edges.
Take your time.
