Glad to see you studying character design and also making it diverse. Id say one of your biggest weakpoints is colors and values. Do still lives and also master studies. I suggest you get some paintings from Sargent or Rembrand and do 8h master studies if you get the time. Might also be a good idea to do extra still lives with watercolors.
You could also get a portable mirror and do some portrait studies, make sure you get a good lighting though.

Could not agree with you more about the colors and values. I've been studying lots of Notan for composition, but it's really hard to master. The best way I can explain it is that every 45 minutes or so of a painting I'm posterizing to make sure that elements pop.
As far as still lives and master studies, that's actually in the pipe this week. Will be doing a few to really get it down. I'm doing a Cornwell and Sargent this go around. They'll really take some time I'm sure. Either way, I actually have fun doing lots of studies. As far as the actual portrait studies, I'm currently using some heavy lighted images to get some good color study in. Fun, fun!
Thanks for the comment! :)
