A belated welcome to the daggers! If you keep doing these, you will definitely improve during the course of the month. I second Piotr's suggestion to also do value studies alone. Your values are improving, but there is still a tendency to go over dark, or not get the contrast levels within separate depth layers right for the distance. I can see you have put some thought behind your simplification...keep trying to boil things down to their main essence. That kind of mental analysis is gold for your skills. Keep at it!
