you're doing great on the rendering/values/color, never loose that. the drafstmanship and hands are really good, and your knowledge of plains and anatomy are good good... But you really need to work on the edges because i find your either are either very sharp or kinda soft, when you should have a wide variety.
The BEST way to study edges are to get old master paintings, preferably anders zorn, sargent, and any realist painter who uses painterly strokes and doesn't have super tight rendering. But even Bouguereau and people who do render very tightly use edges well. That's whats holding your studies back man, it gives the skin a plastic digital look that you gotta overcome. Get very high res master paintings and really dig in to how they executed the edges and use whatever tools at your disposal to replicate it! I bought a subscription at artrenewal center for a year and i highly recommend it! get loads of stuff you cant find on google if you can spare 25$.
Two other painters you should study are Jeff Watts and Cynthia Sheppard and she works for MTG. EDGES MAN GET THAN DOWN AND YOU'LL REALLY BE FLYIN BRO
