Hey U3-C just focus on accurate shape / proportion / placement of the largest compositional elements. Squint your eyes and paint the shapes you see. Forget the detail until you have the main things down. Detail can easily be added on top of the good foundation.
The exercise isn't about detailing and rendering but aimed more at studying composition and seeing/understanding and simplifying value grouping.
The time taken is irrelevant. I don't really care whether you take 3 minutes or 3 hours, as long as you get your studies done in time, so you can get your crit. :) Having said that I don't think working on these for more than a half hour each is necessary, but that will depend on your own speed etc.
The examples you posted look fine to me in terms of detail levels, as long as the main shapes etc are relatively accurate. Look at some of the others work, you won't see huge amounts of detail most of the time, and there were tons of great studies. Don't stress so much man, do what you can, this was supposed to be the fun easy week. :P
