Go go go! Schedules are super tough, I've never managed to stick to mine.
Really nice to see you experimenting with colored lighting! I recommend trying to see how much detail you can not show, but imply instead. To me it looks like you're putting a ton of work into learning your anatomy, so when you do stuff from imagination you're trying to show off all the details you've learned. I think it's much more compelling for the viewer if we can't see every last detail and have to imagine what's there, to a degree. In your girl from imagination, for example, you've painted out the forms of the rib cage very nicely, but in my experience people don't have such definition int heir ribs unless they're super skinny, and according to the light direction there probably shouldn't be much definition or detail on the right side of the ribs at all. You can't draw all the muscles everywhere, think about how to design the figure and place the most details where you want the eye to focus, and keep in mind the "details in the light and simple shadows, or details int he shadows and simple lights" rule.
Good luck with the schedule and everything! keep killing it!!!!
