darktiste: Most definitely! I illustrated a night scene just recently, and I applied what I learned to the image so it was great timing!
one_two: Thanks, much appreciated!
Lunatique: Thanks! And I agree about taking it slower with them. I think I'll do the slower studies digitally now as it's much easier to apply shading. What takes minutes to render with pencil can take a few minutes if not seconds to render digitally. I just completed some more primitive studies digitally with this post below.
Regarding She-Hulk, I guess the stylized look I'm going for would be for the muscle groups, I want them to be a bit more apparent than usual as I think that compliments the subject matter, especially since it's based on a comic book character. Hopefully I didn't take the stylization too far, however! I have an update below, as well as previous painting you gave me great feedback for in regards to light!
Jephyr: Thanks! I have a tendency to work fast for my studies, especially when working traditionally. I think I'll do these studies digitally for now as they're much faster to tackle this way. Thanks for your input and support as always, really appreciate it!
Joseph Cow: Thank you, and I agree! I'll take it slower with the traditional ones when I get the chance!

I went ahead and continued my studies, this time digitally, although I'll go back again to traditional studies again shortly. First up are some simple shapes painted from reference. The cube is based on a photo reference (from geoartref.com specifically), and the rest are based on some quick scenes I rendered in Poser Pro with the primitive shapes tool.
Also did two movie still studies, didn't spend too much time on refining these as usual... just want to learn what I can in regards to light and shadow and go on to the next one:
Next up I revisited an older painting based on Robert Chang's feedback on lighting, hopefully things look more natural now!
Next I revised the She-Hulk image. I think I took it as far as I could, so if nothing major feels off then I guess it's good to go, please feel free to let me know!
And finally I got to illustrate a Tarot Card for a client, the '7 of Wands' card specifically. I was asked to have a female Viking defending herself with a torch against 6 figures also carrying torches. I spent a lot of time on this one as I also thought it would make for a strong portfolio piece, so any final input on what can be improved would be greatly appreciated! Below is the current image followed by the steps for those interested.
.... and that'll be all for now!
