@Fedodika: Sounds like a good exercise to do mate - thanks for the tip :).
@VoodooMama: Thanks - I'm really enjoying using fundamentals at the moment - I feel that my sketching is improving because I've been bitten by the Fundamentals Bug! Fundamentals are like a super power!
@AlexDanila: Thanks Alex, I am supposed to be working on my environments but am happy to branch off into different avenues that take my interest. I find that motivation strikes at unexpected times and I try to take advantage of this as much as I can.
@Matthew M: Wow - thanks for the super-userful info Matthew :). The way you've explained about the warm vs cool tinting of a given colour was really helpful. I've heard that a common danger with mixing paint is that you end up with mud - hopefully I can avoid that. Also that fixative spray tip will help me as on my last painting (of the robin), the charcoal I used ended up smearing all over the place! I do have a problem with paint drying too quick so I might also invest in some slow drying medium. Thanks again for the help :).
