I think you are trying too much to render everything. Give it a breath, dont paint every single fragment. Make it more loosy and sketchy. And don't try to paint like a Dave or Luvisi. They are masters and they understand what they paint, trying to get photorealistic look will slow down your learning process. They know how things look cause they have studied them thousands times. The most important in my opinion is to get free hand in painting. Your rendering is ok, but everything is very rigid.
