Life Study speed painting #2

I actually did not intended for this to be another speed recording. Just a quick 20 min. warm up. However, it turned into an hour exercise. I'm very rusty, but this is good practice. I added music to it this time. Honestly sitting through these without a sound is just unnerving and boring.

Pin up - WIP

So I was hell-bent on putting this in my mid-review portfolio, unfortunately I started it a day before, so that bites. I will finish this eventually, but I'm having a few issues, specifically the ones marked with red circles.

Right now she's looking a little chunky, the tattoos look "placed" and dont follow the skin values, the hair looks weird, and the face and car are unfinished.

EDIT: After examining this closely, I caught another issue with the face: There are no value ranges. I'm almost considering scrapping this and starting over =/

ultra-fast sketch dump

these are 10-15 min sketches. I feel I have a decent control with the pencil/pen, but with a stylus? a small fish swimming with sharks, that's what I am. So here you go, trial and error.
