The knight study is looking good! As Archreux and a couple others have mentioned the cleanliness isn't as present as it could be.
I find it helps to make a conscious mental effort to place each and every stroke. remember that whatever brush stroke you're laying down is either moving you closer to what it is you're trying to visually communicate, or further away....which would you rather have it be?
There's a difference to being sloppy, and having a "loose" yet masterful appearance.
That being said you're making strides! Just put some more love for your craft and process into the mix and see what happens!
