Hey Hobitt- Nice studies man, good to see you just taken on those movie stills head on. Like i said earlier though, try to pay special attention to the lighting and how it hits your objects. Always keep in mind that this studies are meant to improve the areas of weakness in your work, they are not just to do them. Right now most of the subjects look flat again. the reason being that you are not blocking in any kind of directional lighting values. There is no cast shadows or form shadows.

I think what it is is that you are focusing too much on color. How about this, next time you try to do studies, turn the image into black and white, and study it that way. Just values, no color. BUT pay attention to that lighting and how it hits the objects. You are doing a good job at finding the local values of things but mind the lighting, mind the shadows.

good luck! keep it up.
