@NoodleInBox: Thanks! I've been trying to think more in terms of simple 3D forms when I'm sketching - I find it really helpful to simplify in that way.
@Axrel: Thanks - yeah I think it really helps me to retain stuff if I try to apply my imagination right after a study.
I've been getting my arse kicked by traditional acrylics - I couldn't get the right value structure in here. I struggled to mix colour and yet get the right tonal value with the paint.
I might try the underpainting technique next where you establish your value structure first and then glaze the colour over the top as Jyonny suggested.
