Nice form/value studies. Next step: Do those from life! I think I've seen it in Sulas sketchbook, doing a "black on black" or "white on white" (or white on black, if you want form) could be really useful. (Not that I did one yet)
Those figure studies... wow!!! Especially the stomach areas ... always struggling with those... so delicious! Bottom right one is nice, I like how you repeat the shape of the eyes in her nipples, you clearly mastered the concept of repeated design elements, ... xP
Lovely colors and silky texture in the kimono study - now apply that for Itachi! I think it could look cool if you played up the red background picking up in the cloth (as you did in the study in blue/greens), then contrasted by the cooler light from above. Will make for nice colors, and a coherent feeling of the elements in the image. Also try to recycle the blue you use in his undershirt (?) in another area, or let some red reflect upon it, so that it is not that single block of new color that doesn't come up anywhere else. Sorry if you already intended to do that and I am jumping ahead again, but I also don't want to point it out when it's too late :P
Keep it up Jaik! <3
