Keep up the hard work man. I'm definitely guilty of the too much research problem. Something I've been trying to do more of lately are memory studies. For example, I'll spend 20 minutes drawing a page from Loomis, then put it away and draw everything I remember from memory as precise as possible for another 20 minutes, then comparing my memory drawings to the reference and making careful note of mistakes. Rinse and repeat, for at least a couple hours a day. It can be frustrating but seems be the most effective for internalizing visual information, especially with the figure.
These form and value studies look great though. Those are key fundamentals for giving your drawings a sense of depth.
